	The Dick Van Dyke Show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dick Van Dyke Show was an American television situation comedy which aired on CBS from October 3, 1961 to September 7, 1966.
		The Dick Van Dyke Show was considered an inspiration for many later sitcoms, in particular the long-running Mad About You, which was in many ways a modern-day remake.
		Van Dyke returned in 1971 in an unrelated vehicle, The New Dick Van Dyke Show, which despite running for three years is rarely shown in syndication, and has been largely forgotten, in contrast with The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which became as successful as the original Dick Van Dyke Show.

		Van Dyke was interested, but he was living in the Arizona desert, starring in occasional dramatic TV movies and a number of highly successful Kodak commercials.
		The new show would have a familiar feel about it, Carl Reiner was signed to be the producer and he would be responsible for many of the scripts (including the pilot), just as he had been on the original series.
		While three of those Saturday night shows were solidly entrenched in the top ten, ratings dipped two full points when the Van Dyke show aired.

		The Dick Van Dyke Show centers around the life of a New York comedy writer who lives in suburban New Rochelle with his attractive wife, their cute son and a pair of brash next-door neighbors.

		So the show was retooled with Van Dyke as comedy writer Rob Petrie, the young Mary Tyler Moore as his wife, Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam as Van Dyke's fellow comedy writers, and a small supporting role for Reiner as the Van Dyke character's obnoxious boss.
		Van Dyke has often said that his favorite comic was Stan Laurel, and like Laurel he had exquisite timing, an innate likability on-screen, a rubber face, and a mastery of pratfalls and slapstick.
		Van Dyke has spent his recent years in the company of Michelle Triola, who is famous for suing her former lover Lee Marvin, demanding and winning alimony -- "palimony" -- although they had never married.

	Retroland \| The Dick Van Dyke Show
		Dick Van Dyke had an admirable mixture of leading man charm and sharp comic timing, and Mary Tyler Moore provided a perfect match for him in both attractiveness and comedic talent as Laura.
		The Dick Van Dyke Show also benefited from the behind-the-scenes element provided by its showbiz setting, and from the fact that its central family was a young couple (as opposed to the older couples of The New Dick Van Dyke Show.
		All in all, The Dick Van Dyke Show's ability to remain vital almost forty years after the fact proves that is a true classic example of the sitcom in its prime.

	The Dick Van Dyke Show (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Dick Van Dyke Show jumped the shark when Rob was asked to hide wisecracking British rock stars, "The Redcoats," who were being pursued by screaming teenie fans as they rehearsed for "The Allen Brady Show." This nod to the Beatles phenomenon took the show out of its timeless comedy niche.
		Dick van Dyke and Rose Marie cracking up at Morey Amsterdam's jokes, and vice versa, is just one of the little nuances that made DVD a great show to watch, in my opinion.
		This show came close to jumping every time the gang decided to entertain at one of their parties (Morey Amsterdam and his tired cello routine), but it truly became fish food when the extremely untalented Jerry Van Dyke was brought on for a couple of two-part episodes.

	Dick Van Dyke Show
		The show was largely the autobiographical exegesis of Carl Reiner, whose previous tenure in workaday television had been with the legendary stable of writers surrounding Your Show of Shows and the Sid Caesar sketch vehicles of the mid-1950s.
		Van Dyke, a gifted physical performer, never missed an opportunity to reprise his mewling Stan Laurel, or engage in a bit of Catskills schtick (invariably veiled in nostalgia).
		The Dick Van Dyke Show ended in 1966 with a final episode surveying Rob's "novel"--a collection of favorite moments from the five-year run--which Alan Brady dutifully agrees to adapt as a TV series, thus reupping the autobiographical subtext one more level and providing Reiner the last laugh.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Dick Van Dyke Show
		Although Dick Van Dyke himself was the undoubted star, the guiding genius behind the show was its creator, principal writer and producer Carl Reiner, who had spent years as a writer and occasional performer working with Sid Caesar on such pioneering 1950s US comedy series as Your Show Of Shows and Caesar's Hour.
		Van Dyke got the role and the rest, as the cliché goes, although it's entirely true in this instance, is TV history.
		And, of course, Van Dyke shone from first to last, catching the eye from the moment he appeared in the title sequence and one never knew whether he was going to trip over or side-step the ottoman in his lounge (mostly he side-stepped, but sometimes...).

	DVD Verdict Review - The Dick Van Dyke Show
		It was one of my father's favorite shows, and it became a family time where we could laugh about the show even when we had seen the episode numerous times.
		Physical comedy from the most graceful klutz in show business, zings and insults, vaudeville skits, and homey problems are parts of the fun on the disc, as they were on the show itself.
		BFS Entertainment is thanked for bringing the show to another generation, and for preserving the episodes before they're lost to age and decay.

		Though it's not true, as some critics have said, that The Dick Van Dyke Show brought sex to prime time, it would be fair to say that this was the first series to depict a sexy, romantic and bright TV marriage.
		Though the show's original title was "Head of the Family," there would be little deference to the paterfamilias; both Petries gave as good as they got, no matter how silly their bickering became.
		That spark was evident in the show's pilot episode, when Laura assures her husband, with a knowing gleam in her eye, that her intuitions are trustworthy.

		The Dick Van Dyke Show was based on my experience of being a writer/actor, but mainly actor, on Show Of Shows, and about living in New Rochelle and having children.
		Dick loved doing pantomime, so in every fourth or fifth show, I made sure that there were pantomimic moments that he would enjoy.
		Looking at the show today, you see that some social mores have changed and others remain as constant as they were in Galileo's time.

		Indeed, if Dick Van Dyke weren't such an enduring and endearing classic, this mishandled hour might even be enough to make us question whether our fondness for this '60s CBS landmark is actually misplaced.
		The Dick Van Dyke Show is one of the great, groundbreaking "founding fathers" of American situation comedy — and stars Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore are national treasures.
		In his attempt to update Dick Van Dyke, Reiner has unwittingly made it a casualty of a culture that refuses to acknowledge that time passes, people age, and youth not only can't but shouldn't be eternal.
