The Dick Van Dyke Show Review Summary

Now with families of their own, they can now watch the show with their own children via reruns or the DVD set, finding it to be a "wonderful, warm series," and "a perfect way to be entertained and not repulsed or embarrassed."

I remember watching the Dick Van Dyke show as a little girl.  Rob, Laura, Sally, Buddy, Ritchie, next door neighbors Jerry and Millie and the rest of the Alan Brady show were a part of my life.  I remember being very upset when my mother told me that Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore were NOT married in real life!  Now, as an adult and a mother, my daughters and I have enjoyed watching episodes of this wonderful, warm series. 

Dick Van Dyke is an excellent slapstick comedian.  Mary Tyler Moore is wonderful as his wife and straight man.   This series joins the likes of the Andy Griffith...

The show originally aired in the 60's.  The sitcom is based on three tv writers Rob, Buddy and Sally.  Dick Van Dyke (Rob) is the main character and his wife Mary Tyler Moore along with their son deal with the issues of the day.   Rob comes across ackward (tripping over an ottoman in the opening).   The Dick Van Dyke show represents a wholesome show and broke some of the "rules" of the day:.  Mary Tyler Moore wearing pants.  The show ran for 5-6 years and has been in syndication on cable networks

the Dick Van Dyke show is one of my favorite shows of all time.  DVD is at his best and is supported by a wonderful cast, including a very young Mary Tyler Moore.  There is simply not anything not to like here.  the chemestry between the show's stars is priceless.  there is simply none better.  the writers of the show did a fabulous job of giving the cast show after show of very funny material.   today's comedy shows cannot compare.  this is a gem that will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Watching this show introduced my to other t.v. programs of that time.  I have a great love for most of the shows and the music of that period.  Rob to me was so funny.  Such a loving husband and father.  I always though that was how married life would be.  Still looking for someone like Rob.  Who's kind, hardworking, with a great sense of humor.  The entire cast complimented each others performance.

This is the greatest show of all time... if you've seen it, you probably agree. If you haven't seen it, go out and rent the DVDs!  More than just the episodes, there are commentaries and interviews with Carl Reiner, Dick Van Dyke and others.  There are also classic commericals from the time.  Do yourself a favor and either relive the golden age of TV, or experience it for the first time.

I'm so thankful this finally came out!!!

I rarely watch major network tv anymore due to stale, inappropriate content.  this is the perfect way to be entertained and not repulsed or embarrassed in front others while watching tv. I have sen every episode countless times, could darned near act them out myself, but love to relive the geat comedic pairings of all these early stars,,, Seeing Carl Reiner is a plus as Rob's boss..  black and white is the greatest too!
