I met Bob at an OrlandoCon (cartoonist's convention) many years ago, and although he was frail and wheelchair-bound, his mind was as sharp as ever. When I mentioned the show, he said the timing between he and Ann B. Davis was among the best of anyone he'd worked with. Bob had his grandson with him, and you could tell that the boy was his greatest accomplishment. Rest well, Bob.

Synopsis

[edit]

The Synopsis section says that Cummings was cast in The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, but the article for that does not even list him in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Many_Loves_of_Dobie_Gillis#Cast section. It appears to be in error.  uriel8  (talk) 07:13, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cummings was definitely in The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. In fact, he was the main star of that show. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 03:51, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Perhaps the biggest career boost was received by young Dwayne Hickman, a student at Loyola University in Los Angeles who appeared as the nephew and became a favorite with young female viewers. During the last season of The Bob Cummings Show, he was cast as the lead in CBS's The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis."

The current article content is correct. Dwayne Hickman went from this show to star as Dobie.-73.61.15.127 (talk) 21:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

[edit]

This stupid article says this is the first-ever series to debut as a midseason replacement. This is so wrong it's ridiculous. There were many before it: Dragnet, the Bendix version of The Life of Riley, Private Secretary, My Friend Irma, etc. etc. etc. ... I corrected it, but it was removed, for reasons which will remain mysterious.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Spelvin214 (talkcontribs) 17:09, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may (or may not) be correct about this - citing the text with a reference from a reliable source would be helpful of course - otherwise, the text may be considered original research and reverted - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 17:27, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I may not be incorrect about this. Just look at the premiere dates of Dragnet, The Life of Riley (Bendix series, not the Gleason), Private Secretary, My Friend Irma -- all midseason, before 1955. In fact, the Wikipedia article for Dragnet ITSELF says the show debuted in January of 1952! It's right there in your face. ... Actually, though, on my list of worries, this comes in at number 32,462,512. Everyone knows Wikipedia can't be trusted for accuracy. (Well, almost everyone. Rand Paul seemed fond of plagiarizing from it.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spelvin214 (talkcontribs) 19:24, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
