Although I was too young to see the Dick Van Dyke Show when it aired originally, I've enjoyed the re-runs on satellite TV for years.
I bought a few of the "best of" DVD's from a department store and, much to my surprise, my 7 year old son loves the show, too! So when I saw the complete series out on DVD, I immediately put it on my Amazon WishList.
Once our tax refund came in, guess what I purchased?
My son and I LOVE this box set! There are 5 seasons, and each season has 5 discs which are in their own slim case (157 episodes in all). Each case features 6 or 7 episodes that are color coded. All the Disc 1's are blue/green, all of Disc 2's are red, all of Disc 3's are dark blue, etc. A black and white scene from one of the episodes are on the front of each case, as well. There's also a neat holographic insert that comes with the series.
I happened to see an episode on TV the other day, and what struck me was how much better the quality of the DVD's are! They really cleaned up the episodes for the DVD box set. I could tell a bit of fuzziness on the TV version.
Each episode is numbered and titled with original film/air dates and a brief synopsis...making it easy to find your favorite episodes. Although I haven't finished watching them all yet, my favorite is the one with Dick Van Dyke's real life brother...who plays Rob's brother Stacy in several episodes. The sleepwalking ones with the banjo are HILARIOUS. To this day, when I see them, I laugh so hard I cry!
Other great features are different vignettes, interviews and behind-the-scenes moments--such as Dick Van Dyke singing the theme song (you didn't know there were words to the song, did ya?), an interview with Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore about "the good ol' days", and other intersting show elements. (It was wild to see "Millie" as an older woman talking about the show...still having that whiny voice!)
Highly recommended if you're a fan of the show!

I have been and still am a huge fan of Dick Van Dyke. I was born in 1961 and have watched the reruns of The DVD Show all of my life and anyone who knows me, knows that I've been waiting for years for this to come out on VHS/DVD!! I have checked Amazon.com periodically to see if it was out yet and finally in January, my dream came true!!! I ordered it immediately. The series is as great as I remember it in the reruns!! I loved being able to watch the episodes in my own home and at my own convenience. And will continue to watch The DVD Show for years to come. And even though there are several/most episodes that I have literally memorized everyone's lines, I NEVER get tired of watching The DVD Show. The slap stick humor of Dick Van Dyke, and how well that Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke play off of each other. And not to mention the rest of the gang, Morey Amsterdam, Rose Marie, Richard Deacon, Jerry Paris, Ann Guilbert, and Larry Matthews. Now, I wish they would put Diagnosis Murder on DVD!! (HINT, HINT)

First of all I would like to apologise for the bad pun but I couldn't help myself!! I don't own this set but I am a huge fan of the show.

I first started watching The Dick van Dyke Show in the mid to late 1960's when it was already in syndication. My brother and I used to rush into the house during summer vacations, stopping whatever game we might be playing, to watch the show at 11:00 (or was it 11:30) AM. In the 80's with the first video recorders. I began taping each episode when they started running on Nick at Night. The shows were still unbelievably fresh and funny. Now, my brother has the episodes on DVD, and I am happy to say, his son (12 yrs old) loves this show, too. It is timeless because it is simply the best TV show ever.

I grew up with this show, have enjoyed it in reruns, actually taped every episode and was delighted when it came out on DVD. It is a timeless program for all ages. I love it!
