5.0 out of 5 stars OHHHHHHHH, ROBBBBB!.... September 24, 2011

By Jukebox Dave

Format:DVD

THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW: Based on creator CARL REINER's experiences as a writer/actor for "golden age" TV series YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS, TDVDS starred the more versatile rubber-limbed comic DICK VAN DYKE. ROB PETRIE, head scribe for the fictional ALAN BRADY SHOW (REINER made scene stealin' cameos as its meglomaniacal star), was ably supported by borscht-belt comics ROSE MARIE and MOREY AMSTERDAM as his wisecracking staff, and MARY TYLER MOORE as his charming hand-wringer of a wife LAURA. Unlike its sitcom predecessors, PETRIE's work life was given as much screen time as his domestic adventures in a comfy New Rochelle suburb. Going to the office seldom seemed so inviting, especially one so equipped with sofa, TV, dartboard, and other creature comforts. RICHARD DEACON's unflappable producer MEL COOLEY interrupted the highjinks often, even though viewers knew he was really just ALAN BRADY's whipping boy (not to mention BUDDY SORRELL's). Slapstick bits, comedy monologues, and vibrant song and dance routines were all woven seamlessly into the plotlines, giving the talented cast a chance to mug and shine. Sexy and chic ROB & LAURA PETRIE were TV's "first couple", and the intelligent scripts, often supplied by REINER, placed the show several rungs above the competition. This is as sophisiticated, hip and hilarious as early 60s TV ever got. VAN DYKE himself has admitted that doing this series was the most fun he ever had...and it shows in every warm embrace and pratfall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really are fan favorites! April 5, 2012

By Darlily

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was somewhat afraid to order a larger collection without a look at the titles to ascertain whether the episodes were truly among the finest. Would they be repeats of those I found in a dollar store? Would they be from the earliest season when the characters were awkward? To my delight, my fears were unfounded. These 20 episodes definitely include the greats from several seasons involving how Rob and Laura met, Richey's birth, their fight with Jerry and Millie, how Rob got hired by Allen, Laura's toe in the tub, Rob's jury duty, Rob's encounter with a gangster, and Buddy and Sally showcase their talents, too! And the nice part--I didn't get any repeats from collections I already had! These also include interviews and comments from the director, producer and actors themselves years later. This is a very satisfying package for Dick Van Dyke Show fans!
