When we look back at television before it got serious and complicated, it was entertaining to the point of pure innocence and enjoyment. A big part of that was the Dick Van Dyke show. These shows can be watched over and over. That's when you know you have good quality TV. Being a child of the sixties, there were just a few comedy's that my friends still talk about; Andy Griffith, Dick Van Dyke, The Munsters and even though these were a few years earlier, The Honeymooners. I have all these in my DVD collection and more and more find myself watching them because of the lack of decent viewing on paid TV. And isn't that a shame. I'm glad I was born when I was and can still enjoy these shows that were just meant to be funny.

I used to watch The Dick Van Dyke show when I was growing up and loved it then. I still love it now and am very, very happy with this entire series of the show. If you are a fan of Dick Van Dyke, I highly recommend the Complete Series Edition.The Dick Van Dyke Show - The Complete Series

The Dick van Dyke Show is one of TV's greatest sitcoms. The writing was fantastic. Each of the main characters was very talented and remarkably funny in their own way. Morey Amsterdam and Rose-Marie had been entertainers for decades before this show and it tells. Dick and Mary were fantastic dancers and when they do cut loose, it's an absolute joy to watch. And there was a chemistry between Dick and Mary that made this show believable and fun to watch. The show never 'jumped'. Somehow, the writers always came up with fresh and interesting ideas for story lines and the show is as fresh today as it was 45 years ago. The episodes just don't seem dated (only Rob wearing a suitcoat and tie everywhere are out of place today). Finally, this show is about REAL people. It's not slapstick or unbelievable nonsense. Yes, reality does get stretched once in a while, but, by and large, the viewer can believe and even relate to the story.
All in all, this is a GREAT show. Get it and watch it--it will bring you hours of fun and pleasure. Great fun for the whole family.

This was my first purchase of an entire television series and I was very pleased. I enjoyed the bonus parts, particularily the commentaries over some episodes by Carl Reiner and Dick Van Dyke. Who knew Mary Tyler Moore smoked like a chimney?! Garry Marshall's commentary over a single episode was also entertaining and truly a bonus since he continued talking for several minutes after the picture had gone to black. I highly recommend this collection of a classic and clever show.

My "complete series" contained two copies of "year four" and NO "year three". I had to purchase "year three" seperately because I didn't notice the error quick enough. I'm not even sure Amazon would have taken the DVD's back anyway, because they were open (see their return policy).
BE CAREFUL. Amazon's return policy leaves plenty to be desired.
