So true. I’m 40 years old, grew up with my mom showing me reruns of this show. This still stands as my favorite show of all time. Still entertaining to me after all these years. Definitely timeless
This show isn't as apolitical as one might think. There are several episodes about cross -cultural understanding that I bet some would call "woke" today.
I love Joan Shawnee in this. Her “ he spoke so nice and clear” was a take on Marilyn Monroe’s voice coach diction from no business like show business. Great!
Correctly written, it would be "No Business Like Show Business." As it's written in your comment, it's a mess of a run-on sentence that makes no sense.
mr bariscale's voice was that of show's producer sheldon leonard who played a gangster in a later episode and is well known for playing the bartender in frank capra's "its a wonderful life."
My mom and grandmother had a couple of the frilly robes... it usually came as a set with the nightgown. It wasn't ever practical, it was for being pretty... I haven't seen them in the regular stores since the 60's... just the specialty stores for intimates.
Studying the scene at 20:50 we can see that Buddy was clearly aiming his fist at Rob, despite his crack later "I was tryin' to hit Pickles." That kind of humor from Buddy is inappropriate but it somehow fits his character and the era. He and Pickles had a volatile relationship but I cannot believe he would raise a hand against her.
I grew up in the 1960s, and there was never a time that any adult man ever dressed up like that just to go help a friend in the middle of the night...nor any other time, except for church and funerals.
I was born in the late 1950s. My teachers all had to wear jackets and many had ties. My dad worked in an office and he had to wear a suit and tie. As recent as the mid 80s I worked in a department store and dress code for men was jacket and most wore ties. You must have lived in the sticks.
I was born in '58. We always dressed up when going out to eat or when we were flying. Everyone did. This was still going on in the mid 70's. We flew a lot. Now people go flying in their PJs. Times have certainly changed.
Rob should have sent Laura to speak with Pickles, as he clearly lacks the ability to view the situation objectively without being biased towards Buddy.
Okay can somebody please answer one question I have about this whole thing pickles just thought out a steak or no it was a frozen steak so she sliced it into very thin pieces and used it as cold cuts they both took a bite out of it are they eating raw steak that's kind of gross
@@caroledwards3289Right. In one episode, the other Pickles said, "My mother was the worst cook in the neighborhood and she taught me everything I know." 😂
I did, at one job I had as a teenager. My fellow employees branded it on me when they learned of my love for dill pickles. I couldn't shake that name the whole time I worked there. Thankfully, it was all in good fun and didn't follow me to any future jobs. 😊
It's strange, watching all of these wonderful episodes and the writers going SO far out of the way to make a point of how NO ONE in these episodes or era of shows ever drinks, when all of them drank regularly in real life, like most of us, and some to excess. I drink, and I know I drink too much, but this whole era of pretending that NO one drinks like Buddy here having juice in the bar while breaking up with his wife is comical on a different level. Just like no one smoked even though MTM AND everyone else on the show and she smoked three packs a day (and even on her MUCH successful MTM show it was reiterated Mary Richards did NOT smoke) and both her and DVD had alcohol issues. I'm NOT putting it down, but looking back now and noting how NO ONE drank ..... kind of ridiculous in hindsight and wondering why the producers deemed it such a bad thing.
They smoked on the show. It was the socially acceptable thing to do then. They would have a cigarette box on the coffee table and offer guest a cigarette. Rob smoked in several shows.
Many shows of this era had everyone with a drink. The man was constantly given a cocktail as soon as he gets home from work. This show was geared more to families similar to Leave it to Beaver and they tried for a 'clean image' but there are many shows of that era that had lots of smoking and drinking if that would make you feel better about your habits.
Many times in this show they casted the same actor in different roles. Floyd b barascale at the end is Sheldon Leonard who also played big max calvada. Just another example
They always had Jerry and Carl as TV voices. The last voice of Bariscale (?) was Sydney Sheldon, who produced some episodes (or entire season) and was in the episode with his nephew who wanted to be an entertainer but was rotten.
Because Rob was the reason that Pickles has now stopped sending him money because Floyd no longer could black mail her into sending him money because Buddy already knows the whole story.
I think this actress was the better pick because of how hysterical her role was, this time. I can't imagine the other actress doing as great a job regarding hysterics.
Depends on what you're referring to as his acting; he followed the scripts, didn't ad lib, so actually it was the writers who weren't very good...something I've realized in the last few years after noticing all the lying and deceit that was written into the shows, among all the whininess of both men and women, and the screechy, whiny voice of the kid a great deal of the time.
Richie was the world’s soundest sleeper. That kid slept through parties and fights and everything else!😂
This show is 60+ yrs old and we are still watching it…it shows when we don’t have political inuendos they are timeless!
Love the Dick Ban Dyke Shows! Still going strong!
Yesss, tv before the culture wars. You said it all for me.
I’m here for Mary Tyler Moore. What a hottie!

"and he talked so nice and clear"....😅😂
My favorite line of this episode.
oops.... "and he SPOKE so nice and clear" .....
Love the Dick Van Dyke shows!
Great show, better than the shows now
The voice of Floyd B. Bariscale was Executive Producer (and actor) Sheldon Leonard (no mistaking that voice).
mr bariscale's voice was that of show's producer sheldon leonard who played a gangster in a later episode and is well known for playing the bartender in frank capra's "its a wonderful life."
The Dick Van Dyke show, and I Love Lucy are still the best shows.
They delivered lines not many could pull off
I need to buy a pretty nightie with a frilly robe lol its just so impractical
My mom and grandmother had a couple of the frilly robes... it usually came as a set with the nightgown. It wasn't ever practical, it was for being pretty... I haven't seen them in the regular stores since the 60's... just the specialty stores for intimates.
Remember the nighties that were called baby dolls? They were mini night gowns with cute how's.
@@mf-qi8gnFor some reason I read, "...just the specialty stores for inmates." Good thing I re-read that. 😅
Dozy Doodles, love some of the names of the fictional products
The genius of this show is in product names. Nervy Dervies, Dozy Doodles...
Corn Curlies, Potato Poopies. 😂
@@randilevson9547 Thank you! I'm making a list!

They did not have a volatile relationship at all!
Especially Robert getting a black eye from Buddy and another from Floyd "Owch!!!"
This Pickles is played by a different actress than usually plays her.
This actress plays her art least twice in season 2. I benevolent it was a different actress in season 1, but you could look that up....
I had such a crush on "Laura Petrie" back then.She was 🔥
Rob's famous houndstooth sport jacket makes an appearance.
It was extortion! And blackmail! Poor Pickles.

If you really are that old, you'll know that he wasn't "dressed up." Especially going to Manhattan. He was in slacks and a sport jacket, not a suit.
I don't know why they didn't have Pickles in more episodes. She was so funny.
Dozy Doodles! 🤣
there's more than 1 pickles in the jar...
I guess Floyd B. Bariscale changed his name again to Sheldon Leonard.
Rob should have sent Laura to speak with Pickles, as he clearly lacks the ability to view the situation objectively without being biased towards Buddy.
SCRIPT, nothing but following the SCRIPT that was written for the actors.
Lacks the inability?
@@garyfrancis6193 Oh sorry, I'll change that.
I usually love this show but I had to turn this one off. Too much screeching and sobbing.
I like Joan Shawlee as Pickles, she was the best. She was 5'9"and looked bigger than DVD. She wasted a lot of tissues here, and all over the floor.
jerry starring in the show on tv?/ dentist to actor..
Okay can somebody please answer one question I have about this whole thing pickles just thought out a steak or no it was a frozen steak so she sliced it into very thin pieces and used it as cold cuts they both took a bite out of it are they eating raw steak that's kind of gross
I think some people did that more back then. Meat was fresher and steak tartare was common.❤
I thought that at first too but I think maybe she saw the steak was frozen and grabbed cold cuts instead.
In one episode Pickles admitted she was never good at cooking anything.
@@caroledwards3289Right. In one episode, the other Pickles said, "My mother was the worst cook in the neighborhood and she taught me everything I know." 😂
Who hasa name like pickles ?
It's a sitcom 😅
In one episode Pickles told someone her real name is Fiona.
I did, at one job I had as a teenager. My fellow employees branded it on me when they learned of my love for dill pickles. I couldn't shake that name the whole time I worked there. Thankfully, it was all in good fun and didn't follow me to any future jobs. 😊

What happened to the other pickles?? ,this one looks like she would be better of in the Adams Family.
low budget? Jerry the voice on the tv again??
Carl Reiner is the voice of the attorney questioning him as well.
Many times in this show they casted the same actor in different roles. Floyd b barascale at the end is Sheldon Leonard who also played big max calvada. Just another example

@@Invictus13666 Who said it was "funny"?
His brother jerry can dyk tv show called my mother the car
This episode was low on laughs.
Why did Floyd b barriscale hit rob
Because Rob was the reason that Pickles has now stopped sending him money because Floyd no longer could black mail her into sending him money because Buddy already knows the whole story.
@@alexandrajoyhaliti makes sense, second question how did he know where he lived
Because pickles stopped giving him money
@@stephenstumbke1721 Because in those days... you only needed a name to find a person... who knows... maybe Pickles or Buddy mentioned Rob's name.
because he could see rob was a weak, cowardly pussy and he knew he could easily bully him like everyone does.
Such a wrong actress for pickles. Not believeable.
She was great! 😄

Dick Van Dyke was a super actor.
i agree. he sucks. all he does is stammer, stumble and act frightened. i hate him.
Agree to disagree.
