I LOVED the show! I was a preteen when it was broadcast, and I couldn't wait until Wednesdays at 9:00. I didn't know, being that young, that the show would go off the air after only five years. I was devastated! Thank God for TH-cam!!
Rose Marie's signature look was the hair bows, and her husband loved them. When he passed, she wore only black bows for the rest of her life. One of my all time favorite shows.
This is one of those shows you can watch a million times and always see something new. Mary Tyler Moore was gorgeous back then and unto the day of her passing. The best moments of the show were when she and Rob would be playful with one another. Thanks for the post.
It is literally the only thing we watch on television. We keep it on the Dick Van Dyke channel 24/7. My son and husband act SOOOO much like him I feel like I live the show. Now if I could only dance like Mary
@@AnitaSagastegui The misogyny, as in all those old sitcoms, seems hopelessly dated. Dick Van Dyke was majorly talented. MTM's whiny voice drove me over the slope! And I was very uncomfortable with the cruel remarks, disguised as "jokes," lobbed at Richard Deacon.
Not fair to Rosemarie to say she was mad about her screen time. She had been in entertainment for a long time and knew how it worked. She was also not the writer's typist. Rob typed a lot. Also, June Cleaver preceded this show by 4 years,she also wore pants and MTM wore similar clothes. Barbara Billingsly also had kids that age and would get scripts changed. She said she would not get upset at her kids in real life and June would not either. June Cleaver was also pretty good at seeing through people.
I keep a copy of "Put on a Happy Face" and "Hushaby Mountain" on 1960s LPs to play the day he passes away. He was my favorite childhood actor. My fantasy parents were Dick van Dyke as Craticus Potts and either Emma Peal or Truly Scrumptious
In the pilot, Carl Reiner played Rob Petrie. Good thing they went with Dick Van Dyke instead. I doubt the show would have lasted five seasons. I will say, however, he was perfect for the role of Alan Brady.
In the mid 80’s to early 90’s Mary Tyler Moore was the richest tv personality / actress in Hollywood. This is before Oprah. I remember reading she was worth about $75-100 Million then. She owned most of her Mary Tyler Moore tv shows and would receive huge royalty $ from reruns.
These older, vaudeville folks were incredible! They were catalysts for the new medium of television. It was really a variety show, just like in vaudeville days...
Some of these facts are not true. The majority of the cast wanted to continue past season 5. It was Carl who wanted to end it and left everyone to go on to other things.
We're still not sure what causes type 1 diabetes to develop in MTM, or anyone else. It's got nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. But family history is a strong indicator that it might happen.
Dick van Dyke also made a HILARIOUS comedy movie called The COMIC....Imo,one of the funniest,most cleverly written and acted comedy movies of all times.
I don't believe it's true they were all happy with ending it after 5 seasons, I have seen Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore both say it was Carl Reiner who decided to end it after 5 seasons and they would have carried on.
I thought he said that the reason DVD was chosen for the lead was due to Bye Bye Birdie, at the beginning. Then, at the end, I think he said that BBB was AFTER the DVD show. Anyone know about this?
What separated TDVDS from the majority of other sitcoms of that era is that it kept itself grounded in the real world. The stories, the humor and the characters in the show were very human and relatable. Many other comedies shows of the same time period had way out premises with an emphasis on slapstick shenanigans, wacky situations and over the top characters ("The Beverly Hillbillies", "Bewitched", "Gilligan's Island", "The Munsters") etc. The humor on TDVDS was smart and funny and not so gimmicky which is how the majority of other sitcoms from this era come off as being. Don't get me wrong, these other shows are still charming and funny in their own way but live primarily in a fantasy bubble that's detached from reality.
You got several things wrong Sally was not a typist, she was a writer, Mary Tyler More was more interested in her future, not playing this part as an equal, it was understood up front by Carl Rainer, that was only going to be run for 5 years not the other cast members
Though you’re right, it was still far from racially representative, the show had other breakthrough moments besides that baby episode. Godfrey Cambridge played a federal agent, and Rob spoke before the Council for Interracial Understanding, though with accidentally black dyed hands, which could be seen as a tasteless joke.
Growing up as a 1960s girl, watching male-propaganda shows like this one, makes me wonder how any of us went on to be doctors, lawyers and CEOs. The "career" women back then were secretaries, never the boss. Later, in the Mary Tyler Moore Show, the star somewhat redefined the role of women in the workplace, but, though smarter and more competent, she was never the boss and a silly pompous man was the broadcaster. I guess I have my intelligent, progressive-thinking mom, who was a secretary, to thank.
Mary Richards may have been promoted to "producer" of the newscast, but she was still at that damn desk next to Murry. I liked the show, but I really couldn't take Mary's character seriously. I preferred the rest of the characters.
The Mary Richards character was, yet wasn’t a feminist breakthrough. A self reliant professional who sought and found better opportunities than marrying her small town sweetheart. Yet she still was the only person in the office to call Lou “Mr. Grant,” and was a self doubter amid her confident male colleagues, even the cocky incompetent Ted. And this ostensibly progressive show several times trivializes sexual harassment. Re: your mother. She sounds much like mine. She inspired her daughter and son to believe in respect for all people.
It wasn't "they" as in both of them who thought they brought the wrong baby home from the hospital but it was "Rob" who thought they brought the wrong baby home from the hospital.
Morey Amsterdam, Rose Marie & Dick Van Dyke were all hysterical. Rose Marie had a stunning voice. I didn't think Mary Tyler Moore was as funny as everyone says she was. She didn't have a great singing voice either. I found Laura constantly whiny and annoying. The only reason I won't say I think they should've set the entire show around the office setting is cause I loved Larry Matthews as Ritchie.
OMG 5:54. I remember that episode with the black couple! I saw it when it broadcast; I was just a little girl....When they opened the door and we saw it was an African-American couple, the audience went nuts and I fell out of the chair laughing. What a great twist. One of the best moments in television.
If johnny had played Rob, i believe the show would have been cancelled after a few episodes. As good a johnny was as a comedian, he, i believe wouldn't be able to be as physically limber as dick was
I was a 6 year old child when it was on and it certainly is not for children. I got to like it as a adult. My hole point is it would bore a small child to sleep
What did you think of The Dick Van Dyke Show?

I saw Rose Marie in person at MGM Disney in Orlando in 1989

To this day the Dick Van Dyke show is my number one favorite sitcom!
my favorite as well!

Anything from the fifties and sixties was total wholesome TV.
One of the best shows ever. Period.
It hasn't aged well.
@@nadyarossi5102 I disagree. It has aged so much better than many of its contemporaries.

I binge watch The Dick Van Dyke Show every few months from the first show until the last.
Wow I had no idea until now that Sally was the 1920s child actress Rose Marie, awesome she had a career as an adult too.
Very few shows have an ensemble cast that work so seamlessly and effortlessly as this one. It was brilliant and worth watching every episode. 😊

Doing a project on this show, this video's in my bibliography!
This show just wouldn’t have been as awesome without Dick Van Dyke as its male lead.
Some of these facts are not true. The majority of the cast wanted to continue past season 5. It was Carl who wanted to end it and left everyone to go on to other things.
I heard it was MTM who wanted to go into movies.
One of the best shows still on TV ❤️❤️👍
I still watch it
Van Dyke is an excellent comedian
More people should watch Dick Van Dyke show ,every character was funny.
I bet MTM felt much better after her diagnosis. Must’ve been a huge relief.
We're still not sure what causes type 1 diabetes to develop in MTM, or anyone else. It's got nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. But family history is a strong indicator that it might happen.
I believe you are just one step away from answering your own question. It is a genetic trait.
@@STho205 Family history is a known risk factor. But nobody is sure what causes type 1 diabetes to develop. That's all I'm saying.
Always interesting.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲
I always thought it was called "The Dick Van Dyke Show" because they couldn't agree to a title of the sitcom.
Good delivery, but Bye, Bye Birdie wasn't after the Dick Van Dyke Show but during the middle of the series...1963.
Ritchie middle name being Rosebud 😉
Growing up I never missed an episode, always good for some laughs.
I REMEMBER WATCHING THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW WHEN I WAS A KID , ID Wtch together and watch T WAS HYSTERICAL. MY FAMILY WOULD SIT AN

The name of Armstrong’s words to the theme song was Don’t forget to keep your fingers crossed.
Amsterdam. Clearly an autocorrect flub.
Some of the funniest moments were Buddy insulting Mel and watching Rose Marie trying to compose herself from not laughing.
Sending prayers 🙏❤️❤️
You got several things wrong

It is a great show , with great sense of humor .Even as of today it is still funny .I get big laughs.

I believe you're referring to The Richard Van Lesbian Show.
@@carlosrobbins9178 I think it also possibly could be a joke on Family Guy the FCC went over the top censoring
@@carlosrobbins9178 My ex told me that joke 25 years ago...only she said he changed it from *Penis Van Lesbian.*

most of this is distorted and attributations were given to the wrong people

Compared to Fireball XL5, it wouldn’t interest a 6-year-old, certainly. I was 12 when MTM premiered. I loved it.
I was a little child when it aired on WLW-T on Saturday nights, and it sure didn't bore me! I loved it back then, and I love it to this day!
Please tell us you meant your "whole point."
@@brianarbenz1329 would you have watched a show like this when you were 6 ? I think not it would bore you to sleep.
Got mad over stupid stuff
Laura acted like a child got on my nerves
Not funny at all
One of the greatest shows ever
Who knows that Rose Marie ( Sally) wore the black hair ribbon after the death of her husband as a memorial.
I still ship Rob and Jerry to this day. 😂
