If you recognize the line, you know the show...and it's finally out on DVD. Netflix does have it also.
The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis: The Complete Series
I wasn't even born when it debuted but I remember watching reruns regularly on Nick at Nite when it launched in 1985. A beatnick Gilligan and some interesting 50s/60s female cast members (including a recurring Yvonne Craig) were enough to make me tune in regularly.
And I finally figured out where my father got some of his lingo.

My dad would say that on a regular basis. Now time to watch the show of its origins. Thanks for posting.

Used to watch that and then surprised to see Maynard G Krebs (Sp?) stranded on an island. He did play bongos on Gilligan's Island at least a few times.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.

I'm old enough to have watched the show originally. "Work!" became a buzzward for kids asked to do chores. One of the last episodes where the guys are drafted into the Army is a hoot. Maynard has an amazing metamorphosis.
The beasts of modernism have mutated into the beasts of postmodernism—relativism into nihilism, amorality into immorality, irrationality into insanity, sexual deviancy into polymorphous perversity. And since then, generations of intelligent students under the guidance of their enlightened professors have looked into the abyss, have contemplated those beasts, and have said, “How interesting, how exciting.”
—Gertrude Himmelfarb, On Looking into the Abyss (1994)

And the spandex / lycra outfits didn't hurt either. Damnit now I want me some Batman. Put it on your credit card?

Ahh that catch phrase with a slap on my shoulder from my dad is still a regular occurrence when I screw something up were working on.

Hah, I just got the email flyer from Amazon for this series.

"We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them." — CNN's Don Lemon 10/30/18

Ok, who got theirs and started watching yet?
Just got into this last night and talk about culture shock.
My GOD the gold digger mentality expressed was stunning, even if it's "for the good of the family". I know it was a sitcom and all but if I ever met a girl like Thalia Menninger I'd have left her standing there. And Milton Armitage (better known as Warren Beatty) was a joke.
But at least the show itself has some charm and was funny in a "slightly more sophisticated than Gilligan's Island" kind of way.
