The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis was a trailblazing coming-of-age sitcom starring Dwayne Hickman that aired between 1959 and 1963 on CBS. The series was adapted from a series of short stories by American humorist and author Max Shulman from 1945 which were re-released as a collection in 1951. Shulman also the script for the feature film adaptation of Dobie Gillis, The Affairs of Dobie Gillis, which was produced by MGM in 1953.

Dobie Gillis was particularly significant as it was the first American television series produced by one of the major networks that featured teenagers as its leads. Other series from that era, such as Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best primarily featured teens as supporting characters in family dynamics.

It was a historically significant series for its depiction of the Beatnick counterculture of the era. Dwayne Hickman would later say that the series represented what he called the 'end of innocence of the 1950s' before the subsequent cultural revolution of the 1960s.
