YOUR GENES VERSUS MY GENES?
tcchelsey20 January 2024
Another episode ahead of its time, thanks to some creative writing on the part of Max Shulman, without fail. It's all about "genes", and exactly WHO has the best in town?

Dobie finally lays it on the line to lovesick Zelda. They cannot possibly get married, and most certainly their children will not be smart, simply because Dobie has "inferior" genes. Case closed. This intriguing drama all came about thanks to Professor Farrington (Hugh Sanders) who decided to do some crucial experimenting with mice???

The conclusion: Zelda has to hook up with noneother than polished Chatsworth (hilarious Steve Franken) for the ideal marriage and life. Don't miss Chatsworth playing his prize banjo for Zelda!

In the meanwhile, Chatsworth's mom, Clarissa (Doris Packer, quite naturally) has some comments of her own, and please listen. Doris is always the best.

Guest star Hugh Sanders frequently appeared on RAWHIDE and BONANZA, and was noted for his appearance in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.

Everyone is having a blast here, it's so obvious, a classic, if not camp episode. 10 Stars. SEASON 3 EPISODE 4.
