Amazon.com essential video:
Before The Dick Van Dyke Show, suburbia was never portrayed on television as a haven of sophistication. We never followed Ozzie Nelson to work. And we never, ever fantasized what Ward and June Cleaver did behind closed doors. But Your Show of Shows veteran Carl Reiner's groundbreaking series broke the staid, sitcom mold. Just consider Mary Tyler Moore's Laura Petrie, the ravishing wife of Dick Van Dyke's comedy writer, Rob Petrie. "I'm just a housewife," she proclaims in the episode "To Tell or Not to Tell," just before breaking into an incendiary bossa nova in the Petrie living room. In "The Return of Happy Spangler," she is jokingly identified as Jackie Kennedy. But the comparison is apt. She's got style (those capri pants scandalized the show's sponsors!), she's got grace, and when Moore came into her own as a gifted comedienne, she took her stock character to dizzy new heights. The Dick Van Dyke Show boasted a peerless ensemble, gold-standard writing, and characters who became icons: Son Ritchie (played by Larry Matthews), man-hungry Sally Rogers (Rose Marie), old school "human joke machine" Buddy Sorrell (Morey Amsterdam), and tyrannical boss Alan Brady (Reiner).
Incredibly, the show was nearly canceled after its first season. Executive producer Sheldon Leonard championed the series, and CBS moved the Petries to follow the top-rated Beverly Hillbillies. The rest is television history. Unlike the high-concept Hillbillies, the more sophisticated Dick Van Dyke Show's appeal was in its more grounded situations and three-dimensional characters, each of whom were given ample opportunities to shine. Rob's deft and daft juggling of his glamorous career and harried home life inspired some of the best episodes, but at the heart of this series' timeless appeal was the palpable chemistry between Rob and Laura, as witness their sudden embrace at the moving conclusion of "The Square Triangle." A pop culture benchmark, The Dick Van Dyke Show is must-own television. --Donald Liebenson

The cast and crew of the Dick Van Dyke Show were, in my opinion, the greatest collective group in television history. No other show out there had the funniest, most wholesome cast acting and writing for television. This collective group of comedians and actors brought the funny side of family and career out for all to enjoy. I will enjoy the Dick Van Dyke show for hours as a diversion to life.

Great quality DVDs...very well done! However, I'm confused. If you buy the entire series as a set it costs $179.99. If you buy all five seasons separately it only costs $148.45. It's the exact same thing...same number of total discs, same number of total hours, and the same extras. I can't figure out why you pay $31.54 MORE when you purchase all five seasons as a set.

The classic sit-com! Dick and Mary are majic together. So many of these are so true-to-life. An amazing series. Richard Deacon, Rose Marie, and Morey Amsterdam are certainly capable of holding their own with the stars!!! Everything just "clicked". If you want to know what quality television was like in the early 60s, this is the one to watch!

What else can be said about the Dick Van Dyke show that hasn't already been covered thoroughly by other reviewers? Sophisticated writing, an incredible ensemble cast, and timeless humor are all there. It is simply one of the best sitcoms ever made.
As a child, it was a special treat to be "allowed" to stay up long enough to catch the DVD show...even though I didn't understand a lot of it. I saw lots of reruns as I grew, and loved all of them.
As a parent, I gladly taped ... Read More
