The very young Richard Dawson. The start of a career built on insincere flattery of strangers. But seriously, it was a treat to see him at this young stage, even before he starred on Hogan's Heroes. This is a great episode, from start to finish.
Great clean fun! It’s impressive everyone in this show is always dressed to impress. Now days, people rarely dress nice. Maybe for a funeral or wedding, that’s it.
How was it good clean fun? The guest was all over Rob's wife...adultery, womanizing, or being felt up by some creep if hardly what I call 'clean fun'...

really? Acting like a lech until he was ostracised by them all? How was that kind, or made anyone feel good about themselves? Even when he was on game shows, he gave me that creepy randy Austin Powers vibe...
Mary Tyler Moore was such a great actress. During the whole sequence from 9:51 to 10:31, Laura doesn’t say a word, but her body language (fake smiles, fidgety fingers, pulling her hand away) clearly screams how uncomfortable she is
Well, Sally's actress would certainly agree with you. She was to be the show's female lead before Mary made Laura more popular, resulting in Reiner and the others making her the lead instead.
@@markcadieux3445 MTM also achieved further success post her Dick Van Dyke era. After doing the DVD show, apart from her run as a cast member of The Doris Day Show for two seasons, Rose Marie did not have much success. She would later claim that Mary Richards, the iconic character on Mary's own very successful show, was inspired by Sally Rogers. Rose Marie also wrote an essay regarding casting couch, where she said she lost out on many roles due to her refusal. She was more secure in her position as an actress/singer as compared to Mary, who had been doing bit parts for a very long time after running away from her home and was in need of a big break.

Mary was beautiful. I'm surprised there weren't more episodes about Rob getting jealous. As a television writer, he probably encountered many men who may have cast a roving eye on Laura at parties or whatnot. Instead, there are episodes of her getting jealous of other women, which IMO is stupid. Why would anybody even look at another person if you could see Mary Tyler Moore?
Um, because they're a heterosexual WOMAN who doesn't find other women attractive, DUH. Dick Van Dyke is GORGEOUS! I don't BLAME Laura for being jealous of other women.
@@juliebaker6969 DVD wasn't a bad looking guy but he was in no way 'gorgeous' not to most anyhow...if he had been they would have promoted him along those lines as well as comedy ala Cary Grant an excellent comedian and leading man.
@@creepycrawlers6950 I thought he was VERY attractive, I don't know what other women thought, the subject never came up. Though he was MUCH better looking than Cary Grant in MY opinion.
Another example of Mel's disrespect for Laura. He doesn't care for a moment that another man was literally kissing her on the neck and violating her personal space, not to mention obviously flirting despite her being uncomfortable and on edge, and Rob, as her husband, would have to stop it. No, all he cares for is his show, which he only works on because he married the star's sister. I understand Buddy's disdain for him much more now.
I've always found Richard Dawson's "act" to be off putting...classless and profoundly shallow. Nice enough guy if he stays in his place (like "Hogan's Heroes") but a boorish cad if allowed too much latitude. He looks like the kind of person that would go "evil" if he so desired. Just sayin' what I'm seein'...I like the guy otherwise.
Romans 8.38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord
Love him on Match Game but here? I don’t know if “Dick Dawson” was poorly coached or directed, or the script was so awful, or maybe he was just not a terribly good actor- but this episode stinks! I also rank it as one of the worst DVD ever.
This whole episode made me uncomfortable. His behavior is sick. It may have been the “golden age of Hollywood” in some ways but clearly not in every way. Disgusting that they made an episode about this as though it was normal or funny. Ick.
Romans 10.9-10 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
1 John 3:4-10 KJV [4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. [5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. [6] Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. [7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. [8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. [9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. [10] In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
From the beginning of this episode, Sally wanted a date with Paul Anka. As desperate as Sally was, I hope she wasn't attempting cradle-robbing. Paul Anka was a teenager when he gained fame as a singer in the the late 1950's. He hails from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
If this guy were here today and did that he would be out in jail what is so funny about this. This show is terrible. The more I see this show the more I hate it I don't remember this show but I was young and did know better but I do now this show is not funny!!!!!

Cradle robbing? He was an adult at that time, not a teen any longer. Why is it ok for MEN to have a relationship with a younger WOMAN, but it's looked askance at if a WOMAN does it? Double standard much?

I find him quite annoying!
It's nice to see Rob being reasonably protective for once.
I love the way Rob kept putting a stop to his shenanigans each time, so that at the end, just the threat was enough! 😂😊
I’m sure Laura also admired being treated with so much attention too.
