Dick Van Dyke - Season 1
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. |

Dick Van Dyke- Season 2
It's time to acknowledge those unsung
heroes, The Beverly Hillbillies, for helping to
rescue The Dick Van Dyke Show, which, incredibly,
was nearly canceled after its first season.
Executive producer Sheldon Leonard championed the
series, and CBS moved the Petries to follow the
top-rated Clampetts. The rest is television history. |

Dyke) and his plucky wife Laura (Mary Tyler Moore),

Marie) and Buddy (Morey Amsterdam), captured
America's hearts in this TV favorite that
irresistibly combined wit and slapstick. Earning the
series' highest ratings, the third season opened
with the landmark "That's My Boy?" about Rob's fear
that he's brought the wrong baby home from hospital,

show's history. |
