The Dick Van Dyke Show	comment	The Dick Van Dyke Show was a highly popular and influential Sitcom that aired for five seasons (1961â€“66) on CBS.Created and produced by Carl Reiner, the series centers around television comedy writer Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke), who works in New York City and lives in suburban New Rochelle with his attractive wife Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) and their cute son Richie (Larry Matthews), along with their brash but friendly next-door neighbors Jerry and Millie Helper (Jerry Paris and Ann Guilbert).Coinciding with the Kennedy "Camelot" era, which heralded a new age of youthfulness, The Dick Van Dyke Show reflected a notable break from the old-fashioned sensibility of previous television families. For one thing, this was the first sitcom to focus as much if not more on the main character's work life as his home life, influencing such later Work Coms as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, and NewsRadio, and its behind-the-scenes depiction of the world of television anticipated the likes of The Larry Sanders Show and 30 Rock. As head writer for the fictional comedy/variety series The Alan Brady Show, Rob spent much of his time in the office bantering with fellow writers Buddy Sorrell (Morey Amsterdam) and Sally Rogers (Rose Marie). Sally was an unusual female character for the era, in that she was both a working professional (who was something other than a teacher or nurse) and single (although she was portrayed as man-hungry and desperate to end her spinsterhood). Rounding out the ensemble was Mel Cooley (Richard Deacon), the bespectacled, bald-pated, uptight show producer and sycophantic brother-in-law to Alan Brady. The egotistical Brady, played by Carl Reiner himself, was rarely seen and actually served as The Faceless and/or The Voice in the show's early seasons.This series is also notable as one of the first mainstream shows to feature, albeit in a bit part, middle-class African-American characters in a non-servile role. In the third-season flashback episode "That's My Boy??", Rob tells of wondering if his infant son belonged to his family due to paperwork confusion with another family at the hospital. Finally, the other family, the Peterses, show up to straighten things out, and to one of the longest laughs from a studio audience ever, they are revealed to be an African-American couple played by Greg Morris and Mimi Dillard. A small role, yes, but groundbreaking at the time. A later episode ("The Man from My Uncle") guest stars Godfrey Cambridge as a G-Man.Although the series tried to keep away from Jive Turkey territory as much as possible, Kennedy-era reflections abound, including Laura as a Jackie O. surrogate; The Mafia, via the imposing Big Max Calvada (executive producer Sheldon Leonard); The British Invasion ("The Redcoats are Coming"); a self-indulgent Hugh Hefner surrogate; Carl Reiner as a Jackson Pollock-like abstract painter; and the Petries' praise for baby guru Dr. Spock.A reunion special aired on CBS in 2004. Hosted by noted fan Ray Romano,note who also had a childhood crush on Mary Tyler Moore it brought back every surviving cast member and took a look at how the characters' lives had changed in the decades since the show first ended.

The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Alan Brady was reportedly an amalgam of Milton Berle and Jackie Gleason. Buddy Sorrell was initially based on Carl Reiner's fellow Your Show of Shows writer Mel Brooks, while Sally Rogers was largely based on Selma Diamond. Rob was named after Carl's son Rob Reiner (who obviously wasn't a celebrity yet). Leslie Merkle in "You Ought to Be in Pictures" seems to be a bit of an Andy Warhol riff. He directs movies that mostly have no plots, just long, uninterrupted shots of feet or something. When he first shows up he's wearing sunglasses indoors. Drew Patton, a swinging bachelor magazine publisher who lives in a mansion surrounded by beautiful models, is an obvious ringer for Hugh Hefner.

The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_12f078f3	comment	Artistic License â€“ Linguistics: In the episode "Buddy Sorrell: Man and Boy," Rob says shalom to Buddy in honor of his having completed a long-belated bar mitzvah ceremony. Buddy explains that what Rob should have said is mazal tov, which means congratulations, whereas shalom means "goodbye." While it's correct that mazal tov is the more proper thing to say in this situation, shalom doesn't just mean goodbye: it can also mean hello, and its literal meaning is "peace."

Laura is not at all happy about this as she is afraid her husband will "crumble" under the pressure of being around beautiful girls all day. This only worsens as Rob decides he should get a look at the workplace. However, ultimately Rob turns down the position and his own personal office and secretary and being around beautiful girls all day to remain faithful to Laura. Patton finds this "sick." In another episode, Sally lists Rob and Buddy as the two men she considers least likely to ever cheat on their wives.

Rob and Laura return to what they were doing, but ten seconds later, they realize the boys are planning on shaving the stray cat so they can keep it and run out of the house to stop them.

The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The original Pilot Episode, which actually aired in 1960, was for a projected series called Head of the Family, with a completely different cast including Carl Reiner as Rob. The only similarities are the characters' names (and "Petrie" is even pronounced differently) and jobs. The show was slow-paced, with Reiner portraying Rob as mopey and beat-down at work and beleaguered over his relationship with Ritchie. Absolutely everyone involved agrees it was a much better idea to Retool the show to feature Van Dyke. The first season opening credits don't feature the iconic Couch Gag with Rob tripping over the ottoman, but a stylized sequence showing family photographs of the Petries, and a different arrangement of the theme tune with more percussion. In the first season, Laura is sometimes referred to as "Laurie."

Much of Rob's background — his army experience, his courtship of his wife, and his life in the suburbs — is taken directly from Reiner's life. Several episodes also came from Reiner's life, including obscure topics such as picking up the check when with friends. Although in the reunion, Rob Petrie has become a computer animation enthusiast, just like Dick Van Dyke.

The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_6bf93fc7	comment	Fanservice: A surprisingly large amount for an early sixties sitcom. Hardly an episode would go by without featuring Mary Tyler Moore in either a nightgown or evening wear, and there were plenty of gorgeous guest stars over the run of the show. There are two episodes in which Laura's implied nudity plays a big role. In one, she is stuck in a bathtub (offstage), and in the other, there's a nude painting of her (but it's seen only from the back). Carl Reiner has observed that he got much of America to fantasize about a naked MTM. Capri pants. Nick at Nite made note of it during its airing of the show. Rob's nightmare about Laura in a rabbit costume, which might as well have been Laura as a Playboy Bunny given the costume. She's in a very short tennis skirt at the beginning of "The Sam Pomerantz Scandals." Reaches the point where Rob complains about it in one episode when Laura shows up in the office wearing dancing tights, much to the delight of Buddy and the delivery boy.

Rob and Laura spend a while looking through the various items in the desk, which all seem to be sentimental but unimportant items from Hezekiah's life, including a photograph of him as a baby, and eventually conclude that the "treasure" merely refers to these items, worth nothing to anyone else but valuable to Hezekiah. But then Rob looks closer at the photograph and realizes it mirrors some elements of "Me and My Shadow." Looking still closer, he and Laura realize that in the background of the picture is Abraham Lincoln, and that the photo was taken by Mathew Brady. This would be very valuable, but they know the right thing to do is loan it to a museum, so they do.

The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_9cbf01d6	comment	Stay in the Kitchen: Zig-Zagged all over the place, as the show is very definitely a reflection of an era just beginning to discover — but not always embrace — the concept of feminism. It's taken for granted throughout the show (and several episodes say so specifically, to the point of Values Dissonance) that a woman's place is in the home being a House Wife. On the other hand, though, a major character, Sally, is a working single woman who is considered the equal of any of her male peers in her office, and this is also taken for granted despite being a rather progressive feminist statement for its day. On the other hand, Sally is portrayed as very eager to find a man and "settle down", with the assumption that she'll give up her career after she does. On the other other hand, in an episode where Laura considers getting a job outside the home, Rob is bothered but ultimately realizes that Laura has the right to make that decision for herself.

Harding (Allan Melvin), another man from the army whom Rob couldn't remember the identity of, until it was revealed he worked the spotlight at the USO shows. In every army flashback episode afterward, Melvin replaced Ingles as Rob's go-to army friend and his character soon became named Sol, essentially usurping Ingles' character.

Ironically, one of the only things that does seem slightly dated in modern viewings is the concept of a weekly prime time network Variety Show itself. There's also the rather hilarious fact that the show coined a few bits of jive itself - such as "bupkis" entering the wider vernacular meaning "nothing" or "something with no meaning", as noted above."

In "The Bottom of Mel Cooley's Heart", the chewing out Alan gave Mel offscreen was so bad that it made Buddy feel sorry for him. Buddy spends most of the episode not using as many zingers as he usually does and trying to support him. When Alan fires Mel for standing up to him, Buddy backs Rob up when he tries to convince Alan to rehire him and implies that Mel absorbs many of the insults Buddy would like to fling at Alan.

The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_eb6da8ef	type	Crossover
The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_eb6da8ef	comment	Crossover: Buddy appeared in one episode of The Danny Thomas Show moonlighting as a joke writer for Thomas's character, Danny Williams. Three decades after this show's heyday, Carl Reiner reprised his Alan Brady character in an episode of Mad About You. These two minor crossovers throw TDVDS into one hell of a bizarre shared continuity; see Shared Universe and Wild Mass Guess sub-page. And since at least two episodes mention Danny Thomas (the episode where the writers get laid off for the summer, and "It May Look Like a Walnut"), both Danny Thomas AND Danny Williams exist in that Universe. Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam appeared as Sally and Buddy in an episode of Herman's Head trying to write witty lines for Herman.

The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_ed914e98	comment	Tricked into Signing: Every year Rob is coerced and/or corralled into directing and starring in the local PTA's annual fundraising show. After the show one year, which he stated would be absolutely the last time he'd do it, the president of the PTA asks for his autograph on her program to commemorate the show. He gives her the autograph, after which she announces that he'd just signed a contract to direct the next year's show.

The Dick Van Dyke Show / int_eed6d1c3	comment	The Glasses Gotta Go: In "Somebody Has to Play Cleopatra," Rob is in charge of a community theater production. Millie was going to be in a sketch about Antony and Cleopatra, but Jerry didn't like her kissing their neighbor Harry (Bob Crane). Laura filled in for her, but Rob didn't like the kissing scene either. They ask the mousy schoolteacher, Miss Harding. Harry wasn't wild about that until she took off her horn-rimmed glasses, revealing she was Beautiful All Along. Cue his wife angrily putting a stop to it and physically removing him from the sketch See I Need to Go Iron My Dog below.

When Rob is trying to think of a sketch idea, he compliments Laura on her new outfit, then asks her to put on something messy, because "That way I could give my whole attention to the show."

Not exactly an example considering what they were talking about (or what she was trying to talk about) when she said that. (An early pregnancy test involved rabbits' ovaries. The rabbits died in the process.)

Then Rob has a nightmare about the movie in which the walnuts figure heavily and he ends up losing his thumbs and sense of humor much to his despair.

It's his party - and everyone are in their pajamas (because the party is at 6am). Another episode took place during Richie's birthday. This episode is notable as being the only episode to use a Laugh Track: being filmed the week of the JFK assassination, no one was in the mood to laugh. Another episode is "Who Stole My Watch?" in which Rob suspects his party guests once he can't find the watch he got for his birthday.

After an entire episode of being scared by apparent supernatural events (which were being caused by people working behind the scenes on a show based on Candid Camera), the writers and Laura ask Mel how he caused the fire to light itself. Mel claims to be ignorant. However, after the terrified Buddy leaves the room, he implies he did cause it and just does not want Buddy to find out.
