This was very cute. So nice that they got to appear together this last time, since by the time they did the DVD Show reunion movie a few years later, Morey had already died.
This was Maury's final TV appearance he would pass way nine months later on October 28th, 1996 at the age of 87. There were only ever be one Human Joke Machine.
I remember when this aired, it was a favorite episode. What a perfect choice for guest characters, would have been great reoccurring if the show had not stopped.
Wanna do it? On the desk! 3 screws underneath... that was the next thing we did. 🤣🤣🤣🤣💖💖 I always loved these two and I always will! (I also love how Caroline cried like Mary Tyler Moore at the end.)
Mololo5555 Yup. According to Rosemarie, they had been good friends since the age of 11 and it was she who insisted that the part of "Buddy" be rewritten from an annoying, overly eager kid to a show biz vet, then pushed for Morey to get the part. Do they even make friends like that any more?
I was actually trying to find out what happened to these two when I came across this clip. Never heard of this show, but it was so great seeing these two working together again.
Still razor-sharp comedy timing. The "blue" material was sort of surprising, though. I've seen an interview with Rose Marie saying how much she hated that in modern sitcoms!
@@redrobins731 It's anything that has profanity or sexual references or like that. Old-time comedians called it "working blue". I've read a number of different explanations for why that sort of thing is called "blue", but they're all contradictory. Sorry.
@@johnburnside7828 Thank you; regardless of how it got the name, it’s nice to at least know what the phrase means! I’m inclined to agree with Rose Marie. I’ve been watching The Dick Van Dyke Show for at least a month now, and am currently halfway through season 3. It’s amazing how sharp and cleverly written the series is, yet never has to rely on vulgarity.
@@redrobins731 You're welcome. The Van Dyke Show is one of the best sitcoms ever on TV. Carl Reiner was a genius! I'm old enough that I saw it first run, but I still love to watch it again and again. Glad you've discovered it!
Great to see these two together again. Rose Marie said they had been friends since they were kids, working in vaudeville. Too bad the writing is cheap and tawdry, they deserved better.
