* TheCastShowoff: Dwayne Hickman made a few records to cash in on his fame as Dobie, as was the norm for stars of teen sitcoms in that era regardless of whether they could actually sing. He recorded one album and a few singles, none of which sold well.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: Sheila James Kuehl (then billed as Sheila James) as Zelda, a very man-hungry (well, Dobie-hungry) young woman. In reality, Ms. Kuehl is an out-and-proud lesbian. (Although not "out" during the show's run in the late 50's and early 60's, she was already well aware of her orientation at the time.) It's said that a "Zelda" spinoff was scotched because executives somehow got wind of her sexual orientation. Not that it hurt her too badly - she went into law, then politics and became a California legislator for years before being termed out in the early '00s.
