1965-66 Television Season 50th Anniversary Tribute: The Dick Van Dyke Show

- Fifty years ago tonight, on May 22, 1966, US Broadcast Television held its 18th annual (Primetime) Emmy Awards for outstanding performances in the field of television.
Danny Kaye and Bill Cosby were hosts, and the event was broadcast on CBS from the Hollywood Palladium. The Dick Van Dyke Show, which had just finished its final season on the air, was the top show that night winning five major awards. It was the fourth consecutive year that the show won the Emmy for best comedy series.
Wikipedia has a nice list of Emmy awards presentations, spanning the decades and is a nice way to pass the time to get a quick history of television awards over these many decades since 1949.
When one looks at the list of nominees for awards that night, it is a "who's who" of television legends; remarkable the amount of talent that graced American television screens during the 1965-1966 season. In our minds here at Television Vanguard, truly a 'golden age' of television, and certainly the most under rated era of television.
The list is remarkable:

- The Dick Van Dyke Show (CBS) - award winner

This clip (from the excellent fifth season DVD set of the Dick Van Dyke Show) shows the Emmy presentation to both Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore. The presenters - David Janssen (The Fugitive on ABC) and Anne Francis (Honey West, ABC).
This clip is presented here on TH-cam for the entertainment and informational value of the viewer, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Happy 50th Anniversary to all those who attended that Emmy event fifty years ago tonight, and to all those actors, actresses and crew/talent who helped make the 1965-1966 television season quite possibly the best in television history, and certainly the season with the great longevity in television syndication.
Seated at the Dick Van Dyke Show table at the Hollywood Palladium that night were Carl Reiner (series creator and producer from start: 1960 to finish: 1966), Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Morey Amsterdam, Rose Marie and their respective spouses and family.
Also key to the five year success of the Dick Van Dyke Show on a weekly basis were Richard Deacon, Larry Mathews, Ann Morgan Guilbert, Jerry Paris, John Rich, Carl Reiner (of course!), and Sam Denoff & Bill Persky (more on these two amazing men soon this coming fall!) And... a very special mention also to the great tandem of Sheldon Leonard and Danny Thomas (a special tribute to them is available here at Television Vanguard - posted last fall 2015), whose production company helped guide the series (and so many others) to greatness during the 1960's.
Final note: I've been looking at this clip and the audience members now for a few minutes, and I think I recognize the great Norman Lear seated just in back of Mary Tyler Moore. I believe he congratulates Dick Van Dyke as he is walking up to the stage. More on the great Norman Lear, and his business partner, the great Bud Yorkin, later this spring!
The world is a darker place with that smile no longer in it. RIP MTM.
You could tell Elizabeth really wanted to win.
Everyone mentioned for both awards deserved to win because they were incredible entertainers, I must say that Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore,s acceptance speeches were Sensational!!!!!
Back in a time that you needed to be the best of the best to make it as an actor or actress- with only 3 networks and no oversaturation of crap via the internet-or lower-level networks. Nowadays- with 1000 networks and 100 streaming services- there are so many untalented losers in Hollywood. Dick Van Dyke Show was the best of the best sitcoms of ALL TIME.
Nice to see David Janssen
Little did Mary know what was to come!
How great too that speeches were heartfelt and just thanked people that mattered most. Not like now where it's a cattle call of thanks for agents, partners, production companies and every other thing no one cares about.
@Donald And don't forget God. Everyone always thanks God....
Donald--so right. And look, no one mentioned anything remotely political! These award shows were truly for talented people back then. Just look at that audience--many icons from the 60's.
She had high highs and low lows in her life.
Incredible that she did INDEED have that kind of experience again on her very own show. :)
MTM was wrong. She made a glorious comeback with her own show and we're all the better for it. RIP Mar!! PS what great hair she had 👍
She was the best. Simply beautiful in every way.
MTM THE VERY BEST!
How did they get their hair that way anyway?
@@barbarawebb7185 in the day, many women wore wigs to get that look. There were “falls,” “winglets,” and whatever this was called.
Mary Tyler Moore and the lovely Anne Francis in all their mid-sixties sexiness, hair could never be too big then, love it!
It WAS big wasn't it? LOL...
The bigger the hair, the closer to God.
@@m.oriley7700 Regarding lady country singers, the bigger the hair, the bigger the heartbreak.
@@akrenwinkle Oh, well said!
Poor Elizabeth Montgomery. She NEVER won an Emmy and was so deserving, too.
That blows my mind! She was such an amazing actress and so great on that show! Some people really get jipped now and then! (sigh)
I guess she didn’t kiss up to the right people, or maybe her husband pissed off the wrong people. 🤷🏻♀️
I forgot which lady said it- Elizabeth Montgomery or Marlo Thomas- but she said, "If we two were the only nominees that year, they'd just cancel the award."
She was definitely robbed in 1975 for Lizzie Borden
I miss MTM every day. Hard to believe it's been 5 years since she passed (1/25/17) ❤ But I get to see her every day in a poster above my TV and every night in DVD reruns. Both legends to me.
MTM was right. She came back later with her own successful show, but it was never the same again. Those 5 years of the Dick van Dyke Show remained unreachable.
I loved her speech, short and sweet and thanked everyone without mentioning a million names then mentioning more names scared she'll forget someone, lol, that's usually the way it happens.
And all the tv stars who was so thrilled at being nominated... 😂😂😂😂😂
I love him❤️🎉💞
Mary and Anne Frances look so magical from a beautiful 60s fashion time that has passed...
BIG HAIR !
@@aidaabdur-rashid6616 YES! No fought about it! That is so funny!
@@garywarmee4367 Lol 😂!
@@aidaabdur-rashid6616 They are what is now known as HAIR HOPPERS! Honey West ,Mary & about everybody else! But i like it!
@@garywarmee4367 It did appear to be the go-to- hairdo for occasions and ceremonies such as the Emmys, Beauty Pageants, and High School Proms !
My all-time favorite show, Green Acres, was never nominated for an Emmys. But yet, Eva Gabor was an Emmy presenter in 1967, 1968, and 1970.
I think Elizabeth Montgomery deserved the award.
Amazing bit of history.
Love em both
Mary was so beautiful!
How nice that Murray Slaughter was in attendance.
Good catch... we noticed that as well, but that man is not Gavin MacLeod (Murray Slaughter...Capt. Stubing, Happy); that man is none other than Norman Lear ! Our guess, and it is a wild guess, is that during that spring 1966 time frame, Dick Van Dyke was filming the feature film (w/Debbie Reynolds) 'Divorce American Style' (one of our favorite movies of all-time!), which was created and produced by the tandem of Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin. Mr. Van Dyke may have invited Mr. Lear to come on over after filming that day to sit at the Dick Van Dyke Show table. Just a guess. Thank you for watching, and for watching so closely... well done! We do the exact same thing here... we try to not miss a thing on these videos. Best rgds, Television Vanguard staff
I wonder if Elizabeth Montgomery thought -a little bit-what she would do if she had the powers of Samantha about the loss ? She looked so hopeful of winning !
Everyone looks so great, Anne Francis, David Janssen, Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore; a little strange that they didn't express their thanks to Carl Reiner, who created, wrote and directed many of the best episodes of the series, and played Alan Brady brilliantly.
Pretty crazy that they ended it at such a peak time for the show. Seinfeld also ended before fans or the industry wanted the show to end, although most people would probably agree Seinfeld was past its creative peak by then. Dick Van Dyke ended with 22 episodes less than Seinfeld. One more season and they would've surpassed Seinfeld. DVD had one or two hit movies after this and then no real hit until Diagnosis Murder 25 years later. Carl Reiner seemed to flounder too for 15 years until a successful run of directing comedy movies in the 80s. Rose Marie said they should've done 2 more years of the DVD show and I agree with that.
Yes, I agree, Seinfeld was running out of steam at the end, but some of the best DVDs were from the last season, it would have been nice for it to go on another year or two just to have some in color.
I had read that the creator only wanted five seasons no matter what happened.
May the Force Be With You Mary Tyler Moore....Always.
It’s a shame that neither Rose Marie nor Morey Amsterdam ever won for best supporting role (both were nominated multiple times).
I know! They were amazing!
Man, Mary Tyler Moore's hair..... D:
@Lily Evans It was called a 'fall' or perhaps a 'wiglet' -- very popular in the late 60's. That is not actually her hair. I had older cousins who wore these.
@@lucygirl4926 My mom had those. She called them "falls".
It’s beautiful
this video is great classic tv. you can see a pre all in the family norman lear sitting next to the dick van dyke table. great stuff! Mary came back even stronger with her own show in the 70's.
All of that hair on Mary.
She was beautiful...the incredible classiness of the sixties was just about over ...sadly !
Rose Marie was nominated several times for Best Supporting actress, but never won. It always went to a dramatic performer.
Yes, the Academy made a mess of the supporting awards for many years. Otherwise, RM would have won. Mary would have won another Emmy for DVD, too, in 1965, but the Academy scrapped the Best Actress Category!! They did that weird, group nomination thing in 1965. Go look it up. Super weird.
I love the bee hive joan crawford hair ...growing up all the women had a huge pile on top ahh the times
This is the way that awards shows should be. To honor achievement. To keep the acceptance speeches short, sweet, and to the point. Not to air political and social grievances.
Do you have the whole show? That would be awesome. Thanks for posting. :)
Hello - unfortunately, this is the only clip from the 1966 Emmy Awards Show that we have at this time. Thank you for watching and hope you enjoyed this clip.
MTM & DVD.
There was one more occasion...
Elizabeth Montgomery should have won. And she SHOULD have won for "Lizzie Borden" in 1975
@@roadking9680 her acting abilities were proved in Case of Rape and Lizzie Borden
3 years later but I agree with you! Liz was fantastic as Lizzie and she was also spectacular in The Awakening Land. 9 emmy nominations altogether, 6 for Bewitched and her first for a great episode of The Untouchables but she never won!
There was another occasion, Mary or "Mare", on your own show a few years later.
The last season.
Lucille Ball should have won for season four of The Lucy Show.
Didn't performer's have style back then!
Mary Tyler Moore was wrong when she said "there would never be another occasion like that again" as time would tell.
Little did Mary Tyler Moore know that her career was only going to get bigger and better
Interesting to see that Dick's wife doesn't kiss him on any of these Emmy wins
A room full of hair extensions
Another reminder of the impact the Beatles had on everything
a dozen homeless people could've found temporary housing in Mary's HAIR...but I digress. While it would've been so lovely for Montgomery to win, at least the over-awarded Lucille Ball didn't win for her mechanical, screeching "acting" on that dated relic, "The Lucy Show." Ball's best days were, sadly, behind her.
@Garyb3397 You are absolutely right. As for Elizabeth Montgomery: I think viewers wanted a little more authenticity in TV characters, so witches, jeannies, et al were also losing popularity. (Lucy's best work was I Love Lucy....)
"losing popularity???" Bewitched was only finishing its second of eight years, and was a far sharper comedy than I Dream of Jeannie.
@Garyb3397 Okay, I was speaking IN GENERAL and I stick by my original statement: towards the end of the 60's, audiences IN GENERAL were losing interest in jeannies and witches and shit. Viewers were becoming a bit more mature with regard to their viewing habits.
Garyb3397 I agree with the academy’s choice. While I always appreciated Bewitched, I never found Elizabeth Montgomery’s performance remarkable. Lucille Ball by this time had resorted to reading cue cards and the scripts were awful by this time on The Lucy Show. Mary Tyler Moore was the superior performer of the three. But what about Shirley Booth on Hazel?
LOL - "Ball's best days were, sadly behind her"??? How wrong can you be! She won back-to-back Emmys the next two years for The Lucy Show.
Funny (ironic) how Dick Van Dyke was 5 years older than David Janssen and Dick has outlived David by almost 45 years
