The World According To Maynard G. Krebs. Short clips on How To Live Life from one of my favorite early television heroes.
Last night I felt like I was channeling a Beat reading while listening to the Lou Reed/Metallica collaboration. It sounded just like poetry night at a coffee house.

We used to have a skinny cat with a loud mouth. We named him Maynard.

I kept having to remind myself they weren't on an island.

Perfect. I was just reminded of how Dobie I am sometimes.

Maynard > Gilligan. To better quantify it, 1 Maynard = 20 Gilligans + 10 Shaggys from Scooby Doo.

My only exposure to Maynard & co. was when it was in syndication in 1963. I was four and recovering from the lawnmower accident, so I probably got a lot of TV time first thing in the morning. Maynard's individuality was most likely my first strong television imprint. I remember mimicking his laid-back style because it gave me time to think of something good to say. Dobie made his own impression as he was the perfect balance. Two years later, I discovered the Smothers Brothers and what would be my adult personality coalesced.

One of my favorite shows ever. Dobie was one of my earliest and most lasting crushes.
