You must be easily amused, then. That was one of the weakest endings I've ever seen, and I grew up in the 50s to very early 70s, when comedy was quite good.
@@jb6712 I can only say that it proves some comedy is funny to all but not all comedy is funny to some but all comedy can be funny to all and some comedy can be funny to some.... That is if the comedy is funny enough for all, making it obvious that it's funny enough for some, but only if those who find it funny have a sense of humor!
@@jb6712 Well, since this show was aired in the 1960s it would fall right in the range of the "50s to very early 70s" when you were supposedly growing up. So this must be the era "when comedy was quite good." If not, then your whole argument makes no sense.
The guy who played Harrison sure played on a lot of sitcoms, including Gomer Pyle, Brady Bunch, Andy Griffith show, Alice, and All in the Family. He never changed much over the years.
@@MrMenefrego1 Harrison is the character he's playing here. Couldn't think of his actor name, but I've just seen him in another episode and commented using his real name 👍
Even if they were not robbers, it's not a good appearance to sneak into someone's bedroom and look into their valuables while telling their son not to tell them. Rob and Laura were justified in alerting the police.
Originally telecast on November 6, 1961. This was a "special" telecast, as it appeared in place of Jackie Cooper's "HENNESEY" for one night only [Monday, 10pm(et)]. Sheldon Leonard was not happy (and neither was Procter & Gamble) with CBS' choice of initially scheduling the series on Tuesdays at 8pm(et). In fact, that was the *WORST* time period the network had {James T. Aubrey, CBS' ruthless president, didn't like the Van Dyke show, and wanted it cancelled as soon as possible}.Leonard- and his partner, Danny Thomas- got special permission from "HENNESEY"'s sponsors- General Foods and Lorillard Tobacco- to pre-empt them that evening. It finally led to Aubrey agreeing to move the program to Wednesdays at 9:30pm in January 1962.
First of all, he couldn't "control" the series, as most of the other CBS sitcoms and series he scheduled in the early 1960's {this was NOT "produced in association with the CBS Television Network"}. Second, he didn't like "inside show biz" sitcoms, because he thought the audience he was aiming for- those living in the Midwest- wouldn't understand or care about the angle of Rob being a TV writer. Aubrey asked Carl Reiner, "Couldn't Rob Petrie be a midwestern insurance salesman, like Robert Young [on "FATHER KNOWS BEST"]?" Reiner refused to alter the series' format- and Sheldon Leonard and Danny Thomas backed him up. Aubrey wanted safe, predictable and bland sitcoms with no more complicated plots than, "Oh, dear, Steve's boss is coming to dinner and I've burnt the roast! What am I going to DO????".
@3:17...both these men were born in Missouri, but raised elsewhere. Hilarious episode where "Rob" trying to lie his way out of pretending to know "Harrison B. Harding".
It appears to be a Dishmaster or Magic Queen Faucet. a faucet with a built in brush that despenses warm soapy water with the press of a button. The box is the resivior for the soap
"Honey, we have no idea who these people are or why they're in our house!" "I've got it. Let's just see what they do with our five year old son when they think nobody is looking." Maybe it's just me, but this show seems darker than I remember.
One of the best sitcoms endings ever! How on earth that police officer (Peter Leeds) kept a straight face is beyond me!
If he could keep a straight face during his sketches with Bob Hope during his USO tours, Peter could do *anything!!!!*

He sucks
@@mrtimo3822Your mom sucks.
The Dick Van Dyke show is one first workplace sitcoms.
*of the
I love how they just leave Richie in there with them 😅
Harrison played Cpl Henshaw in The Phil Silvers Show. Great to see as Dick appeared in two Sgt Bilko episodes. Love the Hillbilly Whiz story!
His name isn't 'Harrison'; it's *Allan Melvin.*

Thanks for the trivia!
You're VERY welcome!
Do you happen to know why James T. Aubrey hated The Dick Van Dyke Show?

That's not really what happened though. And it turned out alright. There's worst things that actually happened in shows today.
He was in their honeymoon episode.lt's too bad when the writers are inconsistent with characters.
You dog you!
