I was too young to see the original Dick Van Dyke series when it was originally on. I remember seeing it as reruns on daytime T.V. It was before cable so obviously network TV was doing re-runs. I probably was in my early teens. I feel in love with the show. I even snuck away from work (I only work 4 blocks from home) when it was on TV Land at 8:00 am my time.
This DVD set is everything I would ever want in a set. It has great graphics on each DVD cover. It is not a dual-sided disk. It has great special features, including interviews with the actors and the actors talking about the show as it is shown (they voice over the show). Their comments were real interesting!! You can really tell the actors loved being a part of this quality show. The writing is so well done; it just blows me away in comparison to today's poorly written shows. There are so many twists & turns in the shows, that you cannot guess how it is going to turn out. The actors are real characters, people who could be your co-workers, boss or neighbors. The characters are also well-developed & their actors doing the parts really play the part.
If you have never seen the Dick Van Dyke show or only seen some episodes on TV Land (where the entire show is not seen due to commercial time needed), but love true classics such as movies like Desk Set - you will love this set. Buy it & watch it again & again. You won't be sorry.

I love this show and watch it on TV all the time. Just wondering if it has ever gone on sale on Amazon or if there is somewhere to get it a little cheaper? I know it's cheaper to buy the box set than the individual seasons, but I'd like to be able to save a little money if possible in this economy. Thanks!

I am very happy with the fast deliveries that I have received from Amazon and its merchants, including this one.

The show it's self rates a 5 plus!, everything about the presentation of the show on the disc is fine, except, there is no closed captions! hello!, we have deaf people in our family! and there are a lot more out there. I thought there is a federal law.................

This past Christmas, my parents surprised me with the complete series of The Dick Van Dyke Show, one of my all-time favorite shows. Having grown up watching some of these on TV Land, it's great to see the entire collection episode by episode in in crystal clear clarity. As a kid, I used to laugh at the funny antics, but now that I'm a grown adult I can say that this is one of the best--if not the best--examples of sophisticated TV comedy.
The DVDs were not only packaged well, but there are multiple special features that are just as fun to watch as the program itself. I own many TV series, some of which are other complete series, but none of them have as many--if any--special features. It's great to see the actors talk about their roles years later, and to hear the audio commentaries by Dick Van Dyke (Rob Petrie), Carl Reiner (creator/Alan Brady), Don Rickles (Lyle Delp), Gary Marshall (writer), etc. I especially enjoyed the Emmy presentations, and "The Making of 'It May look like a walnut'" featurrette.
But, the best part of this series, is that the shows are seen as originally aired, and some with commercials done by the cast. This is truly the best TV on DVD offering. So, if you're looking for a collection with great story-lines, great comedy, and kid-friendly values, this is the collection to get. There's something for everyone.
