In July 2016, Dick Van Dyke said of Donald Trump, "He has been a magnet to all the racists and xenophobes in the country, I haven't been this scared since the Cuban Missile Crisis. I think the human race is hanging in a delicate balance right now, and I'm just so afraid he will put us in a war. He scares me." Van Dyke publicly endorsed Bernie Sanders as his choice for the Democratic candidate .

@maximilianomadrigal6661 Thanks and blessings for sharing your love for this show! I was born in the 1950's, so I had the privilege of seeing it brand new in my youth. Love and appreciate its old fashioned values of home, family, faith, right and wrong, sooo much more now. Took it for granted when I was 9-14 years old. Of course I was aware of the awful attitudes and prejudices some people had, and Vietnam was a nightmare, but I was fortunate enough to live among people who believed as I did. 🙏👏♥️ Unfortunately it's not that way anymore. 😢

[@Robert08010]

Carl Reiner was NOT just the voice of the water cooler. Any fan of the series would know that he played Alan Brady who was featured several times throughout the series. And lesser known, He also played an artist who painted Laura as a nude.

[@Pookiestud]

As well as an “intellectual guy” at a party they attended.

[@rmhartman]

He didn't play only a water cooler on that show. He played the star of the show Rob wrote for.

[@Pookiestud]

Among others!

[@MikeHamilton-hw8ik]

He also played a painter who painted Laura Petrie in one episode

[@keouine]

I wanna say it's Carl R singing those awful lyrics on Jerry Helper's mini tapey in 5th season. Also the actor's voice in the play Mary attends when a watermelon rolls onto her foot. At least I think it's Carl.

[@jason60chev]

The episode where Laura goes to his office to try to apologize for saying he was bald, while on a television show, is pure gold.

[@wvpirate]

My all time favorite tv show. No references to fads of the day. Clothes that could be worn in any era. The best cast and writers. As funny today as when it first aired. They quit after 5 seasons and make you wanting for more. But learned from this video things I never knew before. Thank you!

[@jamesw1659]

Interesting that you mentioned the "no references to fads" and the clothes. One of the rules for the writers of the show was "no popular jargon" or other similar things that could date the show in reruns. Good observation on your part.

[@GenMasterB]

Actually, Mary Tyler Moore made Capri Pants popular in the 60's from wearing them on the show. Most women wore dresses before that. Unintentional or not, they did affect culture.

[@GenMasterB]

Yes, they had the "1 foot" rule. If one was in bed, the other had to keep at least one foot on the floor..

Carl Reiner played Rob's boss also. He was on many episodes. He was part of the cast.

[@makinoahcelloduo9008]

The boss was Alan Brady (a character he also played decades later on Mad About You). And he had some other cameos, too, like the pretentious abstract expressionist painter.

[@joemiller6975]

He Played Allan Brady!

[@Pastor_Madeline]

I immediately went to the comments to say this!! What??? A water cooler?? He was ALAN BRADY!

[@PaulLyndeBlue]

He was also the actual director & writer of the series too you know

[@melodysledgister2468]

Yes, Carl Reiner was more than just a water cooler in a single episode! He played Alan Brady, one of the main recurring characters, like neighbors Millie and Jerry. He also did many of the voices, and played guest roles throughout the show. In the first season when he played Alan, you never saw his face--much like the Wilson character in Tool Time.

[@Yoshi35711]

I love this show have since I was little. Been watching for 20+ years

[@karengadke324]

Carl Reiner played Alan Brady and did appear in a few episodes in season 4 and 5, one episode called “Coast to Coast Big Mouth”….is one of them. Loved all the other facts that you pointed out, especially the sign in the hall outside the office. I wished they could bring back this show….love it ❤

[@jeffreyjackson6535]

Did you even watch The Dick Van Dyke show? You totally overlooked the fact that Carl Reiner appeared several times in the show, including as a stuffy author and as a bohemian artist, but most notably as Alan Brady. Also, it was Sheldon Leonard, the producer of the show, who told Carl Reiner that Reiner was not right for the role of Rob Petrie and convinced him to look for someone else. Sheldon Leonard, by the way, also appeared in one episode as Big Max Calvada, a gangster. The name Calvada was also used at least one other time during the show's run - as the name of a soda pop. The name "Calvada" is actually the name of the production company that is responsible for the show (watch the credits) and is a combination of four names: Carl Reiner (CA), Sheldon Leonard (L), Dick Van Dyke (VA) and Danny Thomas (DA), which if you put them together spells "Calvada." The actor Danny Thomas was the money behind the show and was a guest star in one episode (you pictured him in your comments about the Mork episode of "Happy Days"). Though he was only in one episode of the show there are other connections between Danny Thomas and The Dick Van Dyke. Morey Amsterdam, who played Buddy Sorrell, once did a guest shot on Danny Thomas' show "Make Room for Daddy," playing the same character, Buddy Sorrell. But there's an even bigger Danny Thomas connection in the Dick Van Dyke Show, namely in the office. A picture on the wall shows Danny Thomas' name on a sign outside a Las Vegas casino. Also, Danny Thomas was the one who suggested Mary Tyler Moore for the part of Laura Petrie. She had once auditioned to play his daughter on his TV show. Finally, there's even a bigger connection between The Dick Van Dyke Show, Happy Days and the character of Mork. The Mork episodes of Happy Days - indeed, most of the episodes of Happy Days - were directed by Jerry Paris. Jerry Paris played Dr. Jerry Helper, the next door neighbor and good friend of Rob Petrie, on The Dick Van Dyke Show, which is where he also got his start directing. Do your research.

[@richblantin1343]

[@bobglover949]

I was more surprised you didn't mention Carl Reiner playing Alan Brady on the show, and that the writers room was inspired by his time writing for Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows. Another one for you Sheldon Leonard produced the show. This was where they got the name for the lead characters on The Big Bang Theory.

The DVD show had hidden references in later shows. 1. "Mad About You".... Carl Reiner was a guest on an episode. He said Jamie reminded him of someone. Jamie's mom was a Laura-like character who had worked on CR's past tv show. The last scene Jamie herself was very Laura-like, chopping vegetables and saying "Oh Rob(or Paul..can't remember) 2. "The Middle" DVD was Frankie's uncle. Jerry Van Dyke was her father. The family was getting ready for DVD to visit and Jerry (Tag) told Frankie to move her ottamon because his brother, her uncle, would surely trip on it. There were Wu surely others

[@hollybigelow5337]

I know I'm not the only one saying it, but the comment about Carl Reiner only playing a Water Cooler is quite funny. We'll just conveniently ignore that he played Alan Brady, the painter that painted a nude Laura Petrie in a painting he called October Eve, an intellectual snob who has the ability to say things that "seems vague, but are in reality meaningless," in I'm No Henry Walden, and those are just off the top of my head. Don't get me wrong, I didn't know about the water cooler and found that fact fascinating, but for a video about details we supposedly missed on The Dick Van Dyke Show, that seems like a pretty big detail to miss.

[@rickgleitsmann7847]

Yeah, I stole that line and use it when appropriate.

[@WorthyistheLambRev1]

There's nothing Dick couldn't do! Physical comedy, juggling, magic, pantomime, song and dance. And he was handsome. He's in a class by himself. And Mary was beautiful, and also a great dancer and singer. This show is underrated. Always kissing and kind, entertaining and having fun. They are my favorite TV couple. Them and Jim and Pam from the Office.

Carl Reiner actually appeared in this show multiple times as the character Alan Brady, since they were all writers for the Alan Brady Show. So he didn't only ever get to play a water cooler. How can you get that so wrong?

[@am77789]

Thank you! Someone had to point that out. It was driving me crazy! Even before he would show his face, he still made appearances as Alan. Then, by the beginning/middle of season 4, he started showing his face as Alan Brady. Heck, the most iconic episode of the show (which revolves around Alan) came out before "Uhny Uftz." "Coast to Coast Big Mouth" was the premiere of season 5. I don't mean to sound harsh, but...how could they get that wrong? I believe the first episode that shows his face is "Baby Fat" in season 4. He also appeared as Sergei Carpetna in "October Eve". Then, he was also in "I'm No Henry Walden," which I believe was in season 3. I don't understand! He wasn't even just Alan in the show...🤦☺️❤️

[@cjb8010]

Carl Reiner’s appearances as Alan Brady unfolded very gradually. Carl Reiner actually appeared as OTHER one-time characters in several shows during the earlier seasons. He was a temperamental artist who painted Laura nude in one episode and a stuffy author in another.

[@bryanspindle4455]

It's funny how they used the same actors to play different characters in different episodes. Frank Adamo who was Dick's assistant played many different small roles in different episodes. The older lady who played Richie's teacher played Rob's mother in a few shows. Laura's mom was a lady with a cat in a veterinarian's waiting room in one show. The actor's playing both Rob and Laura's parents changed over the years as did the ones playing Buddy's wife Pickles.

i understand Mary Tyler Moore and Jackie Kennedy made capri slacks for women in the 1960s a big fashion trend.

[@joestrike8537]

The series had so many episodes about Rob‘s past that whatever streaming channel is now running the show could show those in chronological order of the character’s life - that would make for an excellent (and promotable!) programming event.

I'm pretty much into details, as well as the Dick Van Dyke show. Some of the paintings escaped me, but then the show was so good, that I still pay attention to the great writing, and acting! LOL Carl Reiner was a genius! I had seen the pilot episode of the series, and Carl just didn't fit the main character. But as Allen Brady, he was a natural! One of the things that I saw change a lot, which many people may not pay attention to, is Laura Petri's hairstyle and wardrobe. The clothing seemed to transition to what was popular at the time, and wearing pants was still not mainstream for the most part. Such a great show though, and I literally have been watching it recently. It never gets old!

[@poetcomic1]

Carl Reiner's voice is also heard in the episode when Laura goes away and bored Rob watches TV, but the endless commercials put him asleep before he can watch Citizen Kane, one of the commercials is a fast talking used car salesman - yep, Carl Reiner. I'll assume the man who made this video is well aware of the Brady role as well as the Russian artist, the pompous double talk professor and other guest appearances but wanted to insert little known other Reiner moments such as the water cooler.

[@freeguy77]

Carl also voiced the radio announcer on the "Bupkis" episode, when he announced the "Dum Dums" with their new hit "Bupkis." He also (hilarious gag) announced the radio call sign as "WIFE" that "most people are married to" But, the WIFE sign implied then that the listener was a man, ignoring the women listeners--as most were back then during the day when the husband was at work!

[@blueskysailing]

I like the show and glad they used Dick Van Dyke for the main actor. It wouldn't have been as good with Reiner.

RE: #1 Carl Reiner did a lot more than play the Water Cooler on the show. He WAS Alan Brady and appeared as him in 32 episodes PLUS also played several other funny characters on the show.

For a channel that has the word facts in it, it misses an alarming number of them. For instance the fact that Carl Reiner, as mentioned below, played several parts on the show, not just water cooler glugs. In another video, they cite Robert Altman as having created the TV show MASH, which he had absolutely nothing to do with. These are huge, obvious facts, not insider minutiae. Have seen many more, but continuing to call you out bores me. If you can't bother to get the most basic of facts right, close down the channel.

All of them: national treasures! Recently, we sadly lost Carl Reiner . His son, Robert is still with us and he’s also a national treasure. ..

[@kurtb8474]

I know Rob also has a sizeable resume, but he has nowhere near the talent of his dad. If it weren't for his famous and talented dad, we probably would've never heard of Rob Reiner.

[@bobareeniobobareenio2935]

kurtb8474 : Well, he (Robert) has many writing and directing credits to his name for very successful movies and such . He got out from his Dad’s shadow a long time ago. . It’s a family full of talent. He is great. Of course, if his Dad was not in this business, who knows if he would have gone into it. .. that’s all just fate and none of us can know what would have happened if any one small stone was a little different , what would have happened. . .

@@bobareeniobobareenio2935 Just 3 words about Rob Reiner - "The Princess Bride." Also, he played Archie Bunker's son-in-law on "All in the Family," besides directing all those movies.

BB/VA HELLO BB/VA - heh heh , when I first saw “Just three words”. I thought I was going to see some racist remarks. .(whew). I already have seen some from some ignorant idiots. . . Well, I’m glad you are appreciative and know talent when you see it. . Incidentally: Chet Atkins was from Latrell TN. White country . Nevertheless, when he went to Nashville , against all voices he promoted Charley Pride, a black country singer . Why? Because he was talented. And one of Chet’s closest friends was Mark Knopfler a jewish guitar player. Why? Because he was talented. So Chet had no racism or bigotry . . He was truly a Country Gentleman:-).

I was most amused by the Magic 8 Ball on Rob's desk which I hadn't heretofore noticed. That was actually somewhat of a trend back in the 60s as my grandfather had one on his desk.

I love these easter eggs videos!

When I was a kid I was obsessed with Sally’s hair bow. I had never seen an adult woman wearing one. I guess I was always asking my Mom questions about it. 🙄 I was a weird kid. But at the end of the day, that was when I learned that you can wear whatever you want no matter your age!

[@markcadieux3445]

I think I read somewhere that Rose wore it as some kind of homage to her husband, who died during the run of the show.

[@donnapowers88]

The hair bow actually hid a hearing aid the the actress needed. Rose Marie had hearing loss.

[@markcadieux3445]

@@donnapowers88 I didn't know that!

Albert C. Carter (Magic 8 Ball) is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinatti, OH and is a relative of mine.

[@rebcol4926]

Carl Reiner also played the part of Alan Brady, their boss on the show. How did you miss that? Merry

Loved this show....

[@chrislupica4688]

1 very important detail about number 10. “It may look like a walnut” was directed by Jerry Paris who played Jerry Helper in the show. Jerry Paris also directed Happy Days, and he was the one who was inspired by the walnut episode to create Mork.

[@sarahwells3961]

Same episode,manother detail; in Robs walnut world, the framed Dairy Maids poster is replaced, for this episode only, with a framed announcement of the "jimmy" awards reflecting record busting achievement of the show and writing team.

[@MsPct2011]

I have always loved this show!

[@davidgabaldon5796]

You referenced the Alan Brady Show on the door, and then showed it for 1/60th of a second! C'mon!😢

[@peterwoods35]

I can't believe that you didn't mention that Carl Reiner played the character Alan Brady on the show. Geez man do your homework.

[@Bill23799]

Rob and Laura Petrie lived at 148 Bonnie Meadow Road in New Rochelle, NY. Carl Reiner lived at 48 Bonnie Meadow Road in New Rochelle, NY. I wonder if Rob ever borrowed Carl's lawn mower. RIP Carl Reiner who passed away in June of 2020.

[@markcadieux3445]

Why borrow Carl's lawn mower? Jerry Paris lived next door.

[@marklonteen4791]

I was certain that Rob and Laura lived at 148 Bonnie Meadow Lane. Not Road.

[@roberthill799]

Correct. Lane.

[@hellerjerry]

working as an extra for tv productions I have noticed a few times where a 'star' will bring in an item and place it on the set before filming

[@BobSmith-zp2kk]

Carl Reiner was the father of Rob Reiner, who later played the "Meathead" Michael Stivik in the 1970s sitcom, "All in the Family"....

[@marciamarsh9196]

Back in the late 50s and the early 60s metropolitan civic art leagues were thriving social education organizations in almost every major US city. So it was not too unusual to see copies or prints of appropriately deemed world renown paintings on the walls of businesses with some, sometimes even tenuous, such as tobacco companies, connection to the arts. Sometimes the city's art league donated these preframed artworks to businesses they wished to associate with. In NYC, where TV production and broadcasting was a major industry, it made perfect sense to see the art league's recommended paintings in the sophisticated NY metropolitan offices of a TV network's production studios. Also, in the days of the Dick Van Dyke Show encyclopedias were often given to young family members as they started or graduated from college. So you could have young couples, newly married right after college, who had two sets of encyclopedias. So one of the Petrie's family sets could have been brought by Rob Petrie to his office to help, as a reference if needed, with Rob's, Buddy's, and Sally's comedy show team writing work!

Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What types of topics do you love?

[@emelinewright2542]

I read that during the filming of the show, Dick taught Sunday school at his church. He must have wore his own suit in one episode as he had a cross in the lapel hole. It was the episode 25 of season 4.......Anthony Stone
