  2. Malcolm in the Middle
  3. The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis

Usually opened with Dobie (Dwayne Hickman) alongside a sculpture of Robin’s The Thinker and mimicking the pose, then addressing the viewer directly (and closed in a similar manner with his summing up the episode and then resuming the pose) – and I also seem to recall several times during the show where he provided asides to the audience in the course of the action.

I usually don’t mind when they break the fourth wall, but somehow, it feels clumsy to me when they do it in this show. Not sure why.

I’m not sure this was ever a national commercial, but wherever it aired in 1970, Richard Carpenter happened to see it, and called to find out if the was a song-length version of the jingle.
