"Old farts" alert...Remember Zelda Gilroy from "The Many Love of

[Rowdyboy]

Dobie Gillis"?



Well, now, she's state senator Sheila Kuehl



http://democrats.sen.ca.gov/senator/kuehl/

She's currently giving Ahnuld "Grophenfuhrer" a helluva time over his homophobic "girleyman" bullshit.

Thanks, Zelda, for standing up for us after all these years.

[demgrrrll]

1. I'm gettin misty Dobe. n/t.

.

[Sporadicus]

2. That's Great!

She impressed me as a strong woman in 'Many Loves.' Glad to hear she's giving Ahnuld a headache. He deserves it.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. Tres kuehl!

Zelda was always cool, and I'm glad to see Sheila is standing up for our rights!

[the Kelly Gang]

4. my God..I remember Zelda..she rocks ! (and were's Dobie then ?)

[murielm99]

12. Dobie is a director now...TV shows and movies.

Did you know that Warren Beatty was on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis for a couple of years?

[Kat45]

24. Yup. I remember seeing Warren Beatty in it when I watched

repeats of the show. It used to be on Nick at Nite on the very early days of the channel when they mainly showed older shows like Dobie, "Car 54, Where Are You?", "Mister Ed," etc. I used to watch Dobie when I was really little; it was one of my favorite shows. So it was fun to see the reruns as an adult, and that's when I noticed Warren Beatty, playing a handsome rich kid who was Dobie's competition for Thalia Menninger.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

5. She was also on a couple of episodes of Beverly Hillbillies.

[madrchsod]

6. she wasn`t out of character then

and now..go for lady,you gave those two knuckleheads crap now give to arnie

[against all enemies]

7. Arnold the pig, from Hooterville, if you could see his home movies.

Maybe he could show his movies so we can see how manly men like Arnold treat women.

[ngGale]

8. Goog luck "Zelda," it's good to know...

we have another woman in government that can kick butt.

[DancingBear]

9. Hasn't she been a state senator for quite a while?

I know she has been in politics for a fairly long time - quite active in gay and lesbian issues.

"work!" - Maynard G. Krebs
"now cut that out!" - Dobie, to Zelda, when she used to crunch up her nose at him

"nasty, nasty boy" - Mrs. Chatsworth Osborne III, re: Maynard

(all the Dobie Gills lines I can think of at present)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

23. "I've gotta kill that boy some day"

A favorite line of Dobie's father

"Now look here, Gillis baby." Chatsworth Osborne Jr.

[Rowdyboy]

49. Chatsworth Osborne Jr is easily worthy of a doctoral dissertation...

What an unmitigated prick...

[acmavm]

40. Maynard: "You rang?"

.

[Beam Me Up]

51. Maynard: "WOOOORRRRRRKKKKK!!!!!!!?"

The original slacker, the thought of nothing terrified him more.

[Cleita]

10. Good for Sheila.

All our California Dem Reps need to put the screws to him for all the programs for poor people that he is cutting instead of doing what needs to be done and that is to work to reverse the Jarvis Ammendment so that all these rich people in their multi-million dollar mansions pay their fair share of property taxes to get us out of the budget mess. I can see a low property tax rate for a family home, but these people have houses all over the place, condos, vacation cabins and many are from out of state and maintain homes here. I think they should pay for the privilege of having second homes, so that other people can have one family home

[SpiralHawk]

11. Oh no, I'm rembering Thalia

Must be the perverted influence of the Gropenfurher.

Kudos also to Maynard, who went on to Immortal Fame as Gilligan in Gilligan's Island. They don't make High Art TV like that any more (lol).

[chelsea0011]

13. Waiting for Nick/TVLand to re-re-re-re-recycle this great show

[Kat45]

25. It used to be on Nick at Nite, back in the channel's early days.

All their shows back then were really old shows, and as time went on, the station moved on to newer reruns, and later newer still. I miss the early days with "Dobie Gillis," "Car 54 Where Are You?," "Mister Ed"--can't think of the other ones offhand.

I don't know if they'd bring it back today since they seem to prefer showing reruns of much more recent shows. It seems they're always replacing their slate of reruns with a batch of newer reruns. :shrug:

[Rowdyboy]

28. Other shows from the period "The Gail Storm Show", "Peter Gunn",

"I Married Joan", "The Bob Cumming Show", "The Jack Benny Show", "I Love Lucy" and "The Alfred Hitchcock Show", among many others.

[Kanary]

34. What about "My Little Margie"?

I think of that from time to time...... any reruns ever shown of that?

Kanary

[Rowdyboy]

37. Loved "My Little Margie"

Thanks for the memory

[Kanary]

39. yeah, that really fast clucking-kinda noise she made

How'd she do dat?

I kept trying to imitate it.....

You were good, Margie!

Kanary

[Lydia Leftcoast]

35. "Topper," "The People's Choice"

"Crossroads," "I Remember Mama," "Our Miss Brooks," "December Bride" and still others.

[Kool Kitty]

44. Oh, I remember all of these!

I loved these shows. And two more that I liked were "The Life of Riley" and "Bachelor Father". (Jeez, I'm old.)

[Rowdyboy]

47. I LOVE Topper and December Bride

Don't remember the series "I Remember Mama" but the movie has been breaking me up since I first saw it in the early 1960's. Substitute Southern for Swedish and you have my family.

[indigobusiness]

14. "WORK!!!"

Maynard G. Krebs is still my hero.

[merh]

15. If I remember correctly, her character was a sassy kid sis type.

Glad to see that she has maintained her sassy nature and is giving the Ahnald hell!

:cheers: state senator Sheila Kuehl

[papau]

16. Even then she spoke truth to power! - I really liked her!

:-)

[JitterbugPerfume]

17. good for her

I just loved her on Dobie Gilis

[Norbert]

18. Glad she is doing well.

Hope she becomes Arnies pain in the arse and maybe eventually the pain in the arse of Rep. Tom Dee Lay or SEn. Rick Sanitarium.

My heart though belongs to Thalia Menninger. My and Dobie were always suckers for a pretty face.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

46. Thalia Menninger

was played by Tuesday Weld, who is now married to violinist Pinchas Zuckerman.

(The things you learn when you read concert programs.)

[nostamj]

19. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that

she's an OUT and proud lesbian. :shrug:

gutsy lady! go Shelia!

[Hand]

22. Really? Outstanding!

Harvard Law, etc.. too. Damn me if she ain't the gropenator's WORST EFFING NIGHTMARE!!!

:toast: :loveya: :yourock:

[Kat45]

26. I remember seeing her on TV as part of a Pride parade

quite a few years ago.

[riverwalker]

20. Maynard G. Krebbs

remember from Dobi Gillis? Bob Denver played the beatnik and whenever you said the word "work" he would squeal "WORK!?"

[Rowdyboy]

21. "WEARKKKK!!!"

or something like that.

[unkachuck]

31. and.....

.....every other word from Maynard G. Krebbs mouth was 'LIKE'.....

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

27. No FREAKING way!!!

My stepdad (a big Dem) used to LOVE that show and quoted it to us all the time!

Wow. Good for HER!

[calimary]

29. She spoke at this Kerry party I attended today.

She's wonderful. A true liberal activist concerned with environmental, health care, and civil liberties issues, from pro-choice to gay/lesbian rights. Among other things today, she said this IS indeed a time of crisis in our country and urged people to get involved. In fact, most of her remarks centered around the many ways, locally, that one could get involved on behalf of your party and your party's nominee, and your party's other leading lights. She talked up the meetups and phone banks and efforts even now, by grass roots people to go to swing states and work for votes. She said Arnold is "in over his head."

[Rowdyboy]

33. I can't believe you got a chance to see her speak!

That's really cool. I loved her character so much, and its nice to find out that she was, basically, just playing herself.

[Kanary]

36. Any chance she'll run for even higher office? n/t

[calimary]

38. I do not know.

She did her journeyman work, politically, as a state assemblywoman before reaching higher, to the state senate. No opportunity to ask her about this and she didn't address it. My sense is that the only "holes" available that she could possibly fill are, frankly, NOT available because of the people already in them. Barbara Boxer, who's running for reelection as Senator from California, tends to share her views politically. In fact, she plugged Boxer's campaign. AND, she probably wouldn't be interested in running for congress because she'd be running in Henry Waxman's district, and Waxman's doing JUST FINE, thanks. NOBODY in their proper mind would want to take him out of action. He's WAY too valuable. But, of course, Dianne Feinstein will be up for reelection in, I think, a couple of years, and I'd CERTAINLY entertain the idea of somebody new (unless it's a republi-CON).

As a Westsider, I live in her district, and I'm quite pleased to have her as my state senator. She's spot-on, on all the issues I care about. She's always been a straight shooter, always honest and willing to make herself available to the media, no TV-star tripping or ego tripping or anything. She's a former law professor and is TRULY, TRULY credible and serious about being a public servant. I'm a fan, yet again. And, noting the nature of this thread, I'm also officially an "old fart." But then again, I'm sure my kids would verify THAT one... Sheila's not only Kuehl, she's COOL!

[Kanary]

41. She's obviously doing welll where she is, and valuable

If she's around my age, then, she still has time to reach higher. Maybe she likes being just where she is --lawdy knows shes needed there!

Thanks for the info....... Now, d'ya know of a way I can send her a lil thankyou? I'm not in her state, so I don't know where to ind it, but she deserves to know she's appreciated.

30. Propinquity...

that was Zelda's favorite word!

Congrats Senator Kuehl. :toast:

[Geo55]

32. Coool Daddy !

[Rowdyboy]

43. A kick for a great lady...Zelda Gilroy!

:kick:

You deserve no less

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

45. I've met her m,any times in Sac

Not only is she a well respected legislator, but she is liked on both sides of the aisle..in fact, when she first got to Sac, she was shown the ropes and coached by a guy by the name of Ross Johnson..one of OC's more conservative Repubs...she will be effective and force an apology out of him, I am guessing.

[Rowdyboy]

48. That is so neat...Zelda's character is probably the first strong female

role that I remember on television (other than Lucille Ball)...She was wonderfully opinionated and assertive at a time when a more frigid, mindless, sextoy like "Gidget" was the typical role model for women in America.

[xxqqqzme]

50. Sheila was/is a BIG Howard Dean

supporter. She spoke @ almost all rallies/fundraisers I attended. She has been in the State Senate 4 a while and is doing good work in Sac. Give steroid boy hell, Sheila.
