This is tough,but I think it would be Wither Am I Drifting?,where Dobie and Maynard spent all week contemplating what they would do after they graduated from High School because of an essay the class had to write.Their talk showed a lot of character insight.Dobie finally said to the teacher that he had no essay because he did not know what he would do.He said that baby birds fly when pushed out of their nest,so that was what he would do-fly.

My favorite episode would probably be "The Right Triangle", where Davie develops a plot that Dobie and his math teacher are having an affair.

Others I really like:

"The Best Dressed Man"
"Will Success Spoil Dobie's Mother?"
"The Fist Fighter"
"The Gaucho"
"Who's Got Dobie?"

The show I liked the most I cant seem to find in the guide.

When Zelda know how she is going to get Dobie to marry
her, it is to marry Maynard!.

They go through a bridel shower for Zelda with
Maynard there!, Zelda's father says yuck at Maynard every
time he sees him.

Zelda, know (hopes) that Dobie will jump in and marry
her to save Maynard.

They get all the way to the church, in front of the preacher.
and are to about to say 'I DO'.

The magic I said was to see a 1959 show about being married
compaired to today, was never taked about the honeymoon.
and I hate to say I cant remember the word 'Love' being said.

Does any one remember this show?

One that I especially DO love is this:
83. Eat , Drink, and be Merry ..For Tomorrow;Ker-boom

Maynard predicts the end of the world.

b: 15-Sep-1961 pc: 5408 w: Guy Scarpitta

Maynard has decided that going on is useless, because of all the war, atom bombs, etc. He goes around, the whole episode, saying "BOOM, BOOM, KER-BOOM!!" ( to the accompaniment of a kettle drum! )
The kids were putting together a time capsule.--they find one, previously buried. They read a paper--Maynard says, "Look at all those big, black scary headlines! BOOM, BOOM, KER-BOOM!!"
But Dobie points out that this was about a 100 years ago--and we're all still here! So Maynard is OK--and Zelda and Dobie get together for a little cuddle, as they survey the comforted Maynard.

:wave: :cool: :D :happyface

anything with milton armitage. he was written so well and beatty played him so well, and they all included thalia. so these episodes had everyone i wanted.

i also thought the chatsworth character was really well acted.

and anything with the science/math woman teacher. i was in love with her.
