Don't Dress for Dinner (No se vista para cenar in his original language) was an Argentinian radio series that ran from 1964 to 1973, with a reunion broadcast in 1989. The series originated from the 1963 Rubber College Revue Cheddar Cheese. The show's format was simple, with comedy sketches and songs throughout the episodes, and had a devoted audience, mostly with teenagers from 13 and on, and young adults. The show used more "strong" humor for it to be a children's show, but didn't go over the top for it to become an adult show, so it stood a family show.

The show ran for nine series and was first broadcasted in 5 April 1964, with the pilot programme having been broadcasted on 28 December 1963 under the title "Cheddar Cheese" in Radio Argentina. Series 1 was comprised of three episodes. The subsequent series were broadcasted on Radio Mitre. Series 2 (1965) had nine episodes, series 3 (1966) and series 6 through 8 (1968 to 1970) each had 13 episodes, while series 4 (1966-1967) and series 5 (1967) had fourteen. After a three-year hiatus the ninth, final series was transmitted in November and December 1973, with eight episodes. An hour-long 25th anniversary show was broadcasted in 1989, comically introduced as "radio weiners".

The title comes from the fact that each episode was broadcasted during dinner, so at the start of each episode (almost all of them) an announcer told the audience to "please don't dress for dinner" yet and listen to the upcoming attractions of the episode, most of them would never appear in the episode itself.
