Pop Culture Influences
The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis was a major influence on the characters for another successful CBS program, the Saturday morning cartoon Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! Scooby writer Mark Evanier noted that "Fred was based on Dobie, Shaggy on Maynard, Velma on Zelda and Daphne on Thalia." Dobie would always say something outrageous, about a sloppy, unkempt mess. Up would pop beatnik Maynard with the line "You rang." It would be copied on "The Addams Family," and even parroted on "Mad Men."
