The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 1, Episode 16 - The Curious Thing About Women - Full Episode 

My mom in 2022 me too.

I am sorry for your loss. Finding things to distract yourself, like the wonderful DVD show, can help ease the sadness. You are not alone.

@@randilevson9547 Thank you so much. I do find comfort in the old shows that make me laugh

Same here.

One of my former coworkers told me his wife always started her day watching an episode or the Andy Griffith show. I thought that was so sweet.

Me too. I remember when they were originally broadcast but we never watched it much. I was too young to understand the humour. I think I understood Andy Griffith better.

When I was a kid, we used to watch this as a family when it first aired on TV in Australia. I was watching a repeat of Diagnosis Murder this afternoon and thought that I must check this out. It's really funny and I'll be watching more episodes. It brings back happy memories. ❤❤❤

So many of these old tv shows make me happy & sad at the SAME time... This cast was stellar

Half the humor is seeing them gagging on their own laughter with Laura oblivious to it all

"Shows how being a good man leads to long life" Which is bullshit.

Great that he's still going strong because most of the actors from these 60s and 70s comedy shows seem to be dead, I'm guessing everyone else except maybe the boy from this show must be gone too.

98 now. The brotha just turned 98! 98 and still goin’ great 💪🏾

Oh Oh

He was just making jokes and asking for work, at 99. Lol ❤😊

The best thing the internet gave us...all the TV & movies we care to watch, at anytime & anyplace...even on our phones I remember 3 main tv channels, one local & one public broadcasting ABC/7 CBS/2 NBC/5 WGN/9. PBS/11 The last programing went off around 2 or 3am. Played the National Anthem & then static...at 5:15am the Farm Report came on

Cause the shows these days don't have that fast paced that we are use to. Born in 1991 and I love classic shows.

Because the shows from the 50s, 60s, 70s and part of the 80s and some of the 90s was far superior to anything today !

Because these are great quality shows. I grew up on these type of shows and I can watch them over and over and never get bored with them. TV today is shit. I also love Mary Tyler Moore, Leave It To Beaver, Andy Griffith Show, Sanford and Son, What's Happening.

Roll another blunt Yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh) (La-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra) (La, ta, ta (La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la) I was gonna clean my room until I got high (ooh) I was gonna get up and find the broom, but then I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra) My room is still messed up, and I know why (why? Man) 'Cause I got high, because I got high, because I got high (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

So true. I have also seen a similar attitude on a British show called Would I Lie to You where comedians pass up opportunities to shine or be offended because they know the ensemble joke will be better. It is very rare for people to work that that, but it definitely shows in the final product.

I watched every episode but I just don’t find it funny anymore, and the kid is so annoying

Love this show! Good clean humor that will give a person a belly laugh! 😂😂😅😄🤣

Not me, I'm dying laughing with a belly ache on the ground. Worth every second 😂

He is astounding! He's as trim & peppy now as he was then....

Me too ! ❤

That's the way it works. When you've been a situation like that it is memorable and you feel so fortunate for the experience.

and DVD's physical comedy movements, when 'pre-enacting' the wife being drawn back to the package

One of the first women to wear pants on tv

If a gal is pretty enough she can be a serial axe murderer and guys will gladly overlook it. They buy a lot of trouble for themselves that way!

She definitely was gorgeous

Genii

Yes it is!😊

Same!

Better than the "Walnuts" episode? Really?

They’re co-equal lol

AMG was wearing a smock-style top. No guarantee of anything, but I had the same thought.

She was.

That was another great thing about TDVDS. They never stooped to trying to hide the fact that Ann Guilbert was pregnant. It was just never mentioned, and "Millie" never had a baby. They gave their audience credit.

​@@sdstewart1962Actually, Millie and Jerry had at least 3 kids. Freddie and Ellen and they mentioned another son but never actually showed him.

That was because Ann WAS pregnant with future actress Hallie Todd. Shortly, thereafter, she was on maternity leave. Later Season 1 episodes had Jerry but not Millie.

Nobody can make capri pants ever look so good again.

Absolutely stunning.

It's also always good to have a sense of humor. Especially about a sitcom, which is not real life! Sitcoms are full of exaggerated situations done for laughs. That's why sitcoms are "short" for situation comedies.

Yeah, him. ⏳

DIck is still kicking as of 7/15/2023. And Larry Mathews.

11/09/2023. Both still kicking. Dick Van Dyke turnes 98 December 13th.

According to the book "The Dick Van Dyke Show" by Ginny Weissman and Coyne Steven Sanders it was a combination of things. Originally Alan Brady was created to be talked about but not seen. They wanted to get a big star to play Alan Brady but they knew a big star would not accept such a small part so Reiner played him. At first they decided not to show him, the audience would only see the back of his head and hear his voice. (Reiner did not have much time to act being the writer, producer, and story editor) The first time he showed his face was in the third season's Christmas show "The Alan Brady Show Presents." After that he appeared four or five times a year with the stipulation that he would only appear when they had a great idea for him such as in "Coast To Coast Big Mouth."

@@robertchambers4065 thank you

@@robertchambers4065 His repartee with Laura in 'Coast to Coast' is classic. His painter in 'October Eve' and his double talking professor in the 'Henry Walden' episode were all high points.

It's done for laughs, otherwise it wouldn't be funny. Also, it's not real life, it's a comedy.
