I like the title. And does Parma receive its due in the rampage?

The Wizard of Oz . Twister!
The wizard of oz, yep, maybe I have seen that some 25 or 30 times, I love it. My mom tells me that Twister, at least part of it was filmed a hour or so from where I live, she keeps promising to go for a drive to the farm in the movie that get destroyed.
Maynard G. Krebs (the G. stood for Walter) was the "beatnik" sidekick of the title character in the U.S. television sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (1959-1963).
The Krebs character, portrayed by actor Bob Denver, began as a stereotypical beatnik, with a goatee, "hip" (slang) usage, and a generally unkempt, bohemian appearance, studiously avoiding anything resembling work, which he seemed to regard as the ultimate four-letter word. Whenever the word was mentioned, even in a line like "That would work," he would jump with fear, yelping, "Work?!" He served as a foil to the well-groomed, well-dressed, straitlaced Dobie, and the contrast between the two friends provided much of the humor of the series.
Gradually, he became less of the stereotypical beatnik and more a free soul who did his own thing - including collecting tinfoil or petrified frogs, seeing the old Endicott Building get torn down and seeing the movie The Monster that Devoured Cleveland. In one episode, he invited Dobie to accompany him to a double-feature in which the film was shown with its sequel, Son of the Monster that Devoured Cleveland. Maynard might be described as the prototype of the late-1960s hippie. Many of the later episodes centered around Maynard, with Dobie more of an observer, but always as narrator. The series lasted four years (1959-1963), but its popularity extended into the 1980s as stations like Nick at Nite rebroadcast it for new generations.

I got you waysider. Ya, Dobie Gillis was in black and white as I remember. I did use to watch the comedy , but haven't seen an episode for I do not know how many years. No doubt there are dvd's of the episodes, P2P, and as you say nick at night... I get your reference the B or B- movie at the local theatre...
As I recall, from ol howie y., there were beatniks, and was it the "beaters", my memory, and then there were the hippies...maybe it was the "diggers"...something, but there was some group in there before the hippies, or before the beatniks...darn !

I'm afraid Maynard G. Krebs took that secret to the grave with him.
