10 Details You Missed on The Dick Van Dyke Show

The Dick Van Dyke Show was an American sitcom that first aired on October 1st, 1961. Five seasons and 158 episodes later, it finished its series finale on June 1st, 1966. Long after its debut, however, it still had plenty of influence. In 1997, two of the show's episodes were ranked as numbers 8 and 15 on TV Guide's list of the 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. Furthermore, TV Guide also ranked the series as number 13 out of the 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time.
The show was created by Carl Reiner, who wanted to use his experience as a comedy writer to create a sitcom. Originally, Carl Reiner played the main character in the pilot, which aired in 1960 and was originally entitled Head of the Family, but it was unsuccessful. As a result, Carl Reiner sought out accomplished comedic actor Dick Van Dyke to play the role. Dick Van Dyke's experience on both radio shows and Broadway gave him the talent needed to play the main character of the show, and it eventually helped him gain even more fame as a movie star.
Dick Van Dyke played the character Rob Petrie, a television comedy writer. Half of the show focused on Rob's home life, but the other half was spent working in an office. This made the show one of the earliest examples of a sitcom that took place in an office. Later, the setting would go on to inspire many other famous sitcoms that also took place in a work setting, including The Office and Parks and Rec.
While only half of the show was spent in Rob Petrie's office, it's clear that the production team and design crew spent a lot of time on every detail of the setting. A combination of Dick Van Dyke's comedic antics and the extremely detailed set makes it impossible for any viewer to get bored during the show!
In today's episode, we're going to take a look at these top 10 minute set details that you missed while watching The Dick Van Dyke Show. Make sure you stick around until the very end, where we'll reveal the character who inspired an iconic episode from the later sitcom Happy Days.

In July 2016, Dick Van Dyke said of Donald Trump, "He has been a magnet to all the racists and xenophobes in the country, I haven't been this scared since the Cuban Missile Crisis. I think the human race is hanging in a delicate balance right now, and I'm just so afraid he will put us in a war. He scares me." Van Dyke publicly endorsed Bernie Sanders as his choice for the Democratic candidate .

@maximilianomadrigal6661 Thanks and blessings for sharing your love for this show! I was born in the 1950's, so I had the privilege of seeing it brand new in my youth. Love and appreciate its old fashioned values of home, family, faith, right and wrong, sooo much more now. Took it for granted when I was 9-14 years old. Of course I was aware of the awful attitudes and prejudices some people had, and Vietnam was a nightmare, but I was fortunate enough to live among people who believed as I did. 🙏👏♥️ Unfortunately it's not that way anymore. 😢

Yes, Carl Reiner was more than just a water cooler in a single episode! He played Alan Brady, one of the main recurring characters, like neighbors Millie and Jerry. He also did many of the voices, and played guest roles throughout the show. In the first season when he played Alan, you never saw his face--much like the Wilson character in Tool Time.

I was more surprised you didn't mention Carl Reiner playing Alan Brady on the show, and that the writers room was inspired by his time writing for Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows. Another one for you Sheldon Leonard produced the show. This was where they got the name for the lead characters on The Big Bang Theory.

@jeffreyjackson6535 4 жыл бұрын

Did you even watch The Dick Van Dyke show? You totally overlooked the fact that Carl Reiner appeared several times in the show, including as a stuffy author and as a bohemian artist, but most notably as Alan Brady. Also, it was Sheldon Leonard, the producer of the show, who told Carl Reiner that Reiner was not right for the role of Rob Petrie and convinced him to look for someone else. Sheldon Leonard, by the way, also appeared in one episode as Big Max Calvada, a gangster. The name Calvada was also used at least one other time during the show's run - as the name of a soda pop. The name "Calvada" is actually the name of the production company that is responsible for the show (watch the credits) and is a combination of four names: Carl Reiner (CA), Sheldon Leonard (L), Dick Van Dyke (VA) and Danny Thomas (DA), which if you put them together spells "Calvada." The actor Danny Thomas was the money behind the show and was a guest star in one episode (you pictured him in your comments about the Mork episode of "Happy Days"). Though he was only in one episode of the show there are other connections between Danny Thomas and The Dick Van Dyke. Morey Amsterdam, who played Buddy Sorrell, once did a guest shot on Danny Thomas' show "Make Room for Daddy," playing the same character, Buddy Sorrell. But there's an even bigger Danny Thomas connection in the Dick Van Dyke Show, namely in the office. A picture on the wall shows Danny Thomas' name on a sign outside a Las Vegas casino. Also, Danny Thomas was the one who suggested Mary Tyler Moore for the part of Laura Petrie. She had once auditioned to play his daughter on his TV show. Finally, there's even a bigger connection between The Dick Van Dyke Show, Happy Days and the character of Mork. The Mork episodes of Happy Days - indeed, most of the episodes of Happy Days - were directed by Jerry Paris. Jerry Paris played Dr. Jerry Helper, the next door neighbor and good friend of Rob Petrie, on The Dick Van Dyke Show, which is where he also got his start directing. Do your research.

The DVD show had hidden references in later shows. 1. "Mad About You".... Carl Reiner was a guest on an episode. He said Jamie reminded him of someone. Jamie's mom was a Laura-like character who had worked on CR's past tv show. The last scene Jamie herself was very Laura-like, chopping vegetables and saying "Oh Rob(or Paul..can't remember) 2. "The Middle" DVD was Frankie's uncle. Jerry Van Dyke was her father. The family was getting ready for DVD to visit and Jerry (Tag) told Frankie to move her ottamon because his brother, her uncle, would surely trip on it. There were Wu surely others

It's funny how they used the same actors to play different characters in different episodes. Frank Adamo who was Dick's assistant played many different small roles in different episodes. The older lady who played Richie's teacher played Rob's mother in a few shows. Laura's mom was a lady with a cat in a veterinarian's waiting room in one show. The actor's playing both Rob and Laura's parents changed over the years as did the ones playing Buddy's wife Pickles.

Carl Reiner actually appeared in this show multiple times as the character Alan Brady, since they were all writers for the Alan Brady Show. So he didn't only ever get to play a water cooler. How can you get that so wrong?

@am77789 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Someone had to point that out. It was driving me crazy! Even before he would show his face, he still made appearances as Alan. Then, by the beginning/middle of season 4, he started showing his face as Alan Brady. Heck, the most iconic episode of the show (which revolves around Alan) came out before "Uhny Uftz." "Coast to Coast Big Mouth" was the premiere of season 5. I don't mean to sound harsh, but...how could they get that wrong? I believe the first episode that shows his face is "Baby Fat" in season 4. He also appeared as Sergei Carpetna in "October Eve". Then, he was also in "I'm No Henry Walden," which I believe was in season 3. I don't understand! He wasn't even just Alan in the show...🤦☺️❤️

Carl Reiner's voice is also heard in the episode when Laura goes away and bored Rob watches TV, but the endless commercials put him asleep before he can watch Citizen Kane, one of the commercials is a fast talking used car salesman - yep, Carl Reiner. I'll assume the man who made this video is well aware of the Brady role as well as the Russian artist, the pompous double talk professor and other guest appearances but wanted to insert little known other Reiner moments such as the water cooler.

Carl also voiced the radio announcer on the "Bupkis" episode, when he announced the "Dum Dums" with their new hit "Bupkis." He also (hilarious gag) announced the radio call sign as "WIFE" that "most people are married to" But, the WIFE sign implied then that the listener was a man, ignoring the women listeners--as most were back then during the day when the husband was at work!

The HAPPY DAYS episode that introduced Robin Williams was titled "My Favorite Orkan", a take-off on the 1960s sitcom MY FAVORITE MARTIAN. I'd love to see that episode someday as it was originally filmed. In the original episode, the whole incident w/ Mork was due to a dream that Richie had. After Mork was given his own sitcom, the writers of this episode thought they had to bring HAPPY DAYS reality into MORK & MINDY's fantasy world by having Mork show up & make Richie think it was all a dream.

For a channel that has the word facts in it, it misses an alarming number of them. For instance the fact that Carl Reiner, as mentioned below, played several parts on the show, not just water cooler glugs. In another video, they cite Robert Altman as having created the TV show MASH, which he had absolutely nothing to do with. These are huge, obvious facts, not insider minutiae. Have seen many more, but continuing to call you out bores me. If you can't bother to get the most basic of facts right, close down the channel.

I'm pretty much into details, as well as the Dick Van Dyke show. Some of the paintings escaped me, but then the show was so good, that I still pay attention to the great writing, and acting! LOL Carl Reiner was a genius! I had seen the pilot episode of the series, and Carl just didn't fit the main character. But as Allen Brady, he was a natural! One of the things that I saw change a lot, which many people may not pay attention to, is Laura Petri's hairstyle and wardrobe. The clothing seemed to transition to what was popular at the time, and wearing pants was still not mainstream for the most part. Such a great show though, and I literally have been watching it recently. It never gets old!

I know I'm not the only one saying it, but the comment about Carl Reiner only playing a Water Cooler is quite funny. We'll just conveniently ignore that he played Alan Brady, the painter that painted a nude Laura Petrie in a painting he called October Eve, an intellectual snob who has the ability to say things that "seems vague, but are in reality meaningless," in I'm No Henry Walden, and those are just off the top of my head. Don't get me wrong, I didn't know about the water cooler and found that fact fascinating, but for a video about details we supposedly missed on The Dick Van Dyke Show, that seems like a pretty big detail to miss.
