When buddy says it’s been a long time since the Al Pierce gang days that’s a little biographical, because morey Amsterdam was a regular on that radio show in the late 1930s
So many of these you've posted I've never seen before, which surprises me. I thought I'd seen every episode at some point in my life. What a pleasure to find 'new' Dick van Dyke shows to watch!
Richard Haydn played Max Deitweiler in The Sound of Music. He was a musical agent, who was a friend of the Von Trapp family. He was kind of sarcastic and snively, with a thin moustache. He always reminded me of Dick Dastardly, from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, Dastardly and Muttley.
As Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer have also mentioned in some interviews, before The Sound of Music Richard Haydn had already been well known for this fish routine as well...I'm not sure if he was on the vaudeville circuit or not.
Did he voice Eric's Butler/man servant in the Disney animated The Little Mermaid from the late 80's, early 90's? He was definitely in The Sound of Music, which was filmed close around this time, actually.
I'm surprised that they didn't recruit Jim and Marion Jordan; (better known as 'Fibber McGee & Molly') or one of the two actors who played 'The Great Gildersleeve,' Harold Peary, or Willard Waterman, for this episode. I listen to both OTR programs daily, and they are outstanding too!
Rob: "What's the one thing that's never been done on television?" Buddy: "You can't do that on television" That part didn't age well, but it's still hilarious.
The Day That Radio Died in the US is usually something like September 28, 1962. That is theatrical radio. Not that long before The Dick Van Dyke Show. Surly these people, including Laura, grew up with The Golden Age of Radio. It was deliberately killed of by the Networks. To just DJs and music. Then all talk, God help us. Glad to see radio is back, under the name podcast. However, radio never died in other places. The BBC is one place where it thrives.
Mary Tyler Moore was born in December 1936. On September 28, 1962 she was only 15 years old. She was several years younger than the other main characters except Larry Mathews.
@Old Blackstock Oops. You're right. She was 25. I've been having severe problems with my health for the past month. In fact, I'm on an extended medical leave that will last for 4 weeks. For the past month I've been having problems with thinking, my memory, my sight, and other symptoms of severe Advanced Secondary Sjogren's Syndrome. It's been a nightmare for me. I'm on the Laminine program which is helping so far. Normally, I wouldn't make such a simple mathematical error. Thank you very much for pointing that out in a kind and courteous way! Have a nice day! 😀👍
One of the most popular comedies on old time radio was Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. Edgar Bergen was a ventriloquist, and Charlie McCarthy was one of his dummies. There was a bit in the Woody Allen film comedy "Radio Days" (1987) where the family is listening to Edgar Bergen on the radio: Narrator: Ceil adored a very prominent ventriloquist, and this always used to drive Abe crazy: Abe: He's a ventriloquist on the radio - how do you know he's not moving his lips? Ceil: Who cares? Leave me alone! [bursts with laughter] One of my favorite bits: Mother: I don't know what to do, Rabbi. Every night, he listens to the radio. I can't keep him away. I say, "Go to the beach. Play in the sun. Get some fresh air." No. "The Lone Ranger," "The Shadow," "The Masked Avenger." Rabbi Baumel: This is not good. This boy needs discipline. Radio, it's all right once in a while. Otherwise, it tends to induce bad values false dreams, lazy habits. Listening to the radio these stories of foolishness and violence this is no way for a boy to grow up! Joe: You speak the truth, my faithful Indian companion. Rabbi Baumel: To a rabbi you say "my faithful Indian companion"? [hits him in the head]
I've seen every DVD episode over the course of the last 62 years, starting when I was 8 y.o., but Amzie Strickland as "Edwin Carp's" (Richard Haydn) mother....that was hilarious, considering that she was14 years younger than he was. She was on a fair number of shows during that time, including DVD as "Laura's" aunt, and on the Andy Griffith Show. Good character actors, both of them...all of them.
Amzie also played a few episodes of the Andy Griffith Show as Miss Rise Mary (a love interest od Barney. She also played Ottis Campbell's sister-in law. Ottis use the courthouse stationary to write to his brother which they took it to mean he waa a deputy sheriff. The brother was rhe one whobwas supposed to be successful but one their visit to see Ottis he confessed he was the tien drunk
@Jack Kircher Your spelling stinks! 🦨. Amzie Strickland was in other shows too. She played Rose Mary who had a crush on Barnie Fife. Hal Smith played Otis Campbell. You misspelled Rose Mary's first name and Otis Campbell's first name.
Lynette, perhaps you could extend the grace to his spelling that was extended to your math in your previous post. We never know what autocorrect will do, keyboards are small on different devices, and other people may also be suffering from medical issues.
One thingI recall most about being a kid... These were on to late for me to watch, but it was good to hear my father laughing so hard downstairs.
"I will never again become the slave of the grape!"😂😂😂
"Oh, hot boiling drats, Mother wants her cocoa!"
Yes folks that's right....there once was such a thing as real talent.

Inspired. This episode was inspired. Thank you.
This is my favorite . Seen it a million times, still cracks me up!
This was brilliance.

Thanks for uploading these.
Good show Duck Van Dyke crew! Oldies but goodies are the best!!!!
Good lord, I love these shows. Grew up with this and other sitcoms. Thanks...

or Snidley Whiplash!
As soon as I saw him I immediately yelled out "UNCLE MAX!!!" like the kids did in the movie.😂
I love that movie!🥰❤

@henryj.8528That was him?! (Not sure how I missed that. 🤔) Now, I have to watch YF again. It's one of my favorites! Thanks for this info.
@@sharone.langley2923
Yes, absolutely!
I knew Richard Haydn sounded familiar! He was the voice of the caterpillar on Alice in Wonderland!!🦋
Did he voice Eric's Butler/man servant in the Disney animated The Little Mermaid from the late 80's, early 90's?

It aged perfectly fine.
Directed by Howard Morris aka Ernest T Bass.
"you wouldn't like her" 🤣😂
He also appeared in "ball of Fire" "Cluny Brown," and for a change of pace Rene Clair's "Ten Little Indians."
Great episode , first time I see it! It stole the show entirely!

@@lynettepalecek3141 Check your math again. She was 25. Maybe you intended to type 25 instead of 15. These devices changes my wording sometimes.

@@lynettepalecek3141 I hope you are beginning to feel better.
@@pmcyclist Thank you very much for your comment. Yes, I'm feeling much better now. The Laminine program was a huge success!! 🙂👍
Richard Haydn as Edwin Carp.
Richard Haydn work in radio mostly in Britain. At least during WWII. He did appear in movies in the States.
~How did anyone see him do these fish impressions on a radio show?!?~

You can recognize Haydn's voice from Alice In Wonderland. He played the smoking catapillar.
"Who R U?"

Grace is key, especially these days, and too often disregarded.

You're probably right ✅️
@@Vincent-ke5zn Yep, probably so! Talk radio, of course!😁
MTM loved Rush.

I never thought this Borscht Belt “humor” was the least bit funny.
My favorite TV series of all time! But this one is a stinker, I’m afraid.
