1965-66 Television Season 50th Anniversary Tribute: The Dick Van Dyke Show

[@karenburkland9877]

The world is a darker place with that smile no longer in it. RIP MTM.

[@KenJohnsonMusic]

You could tell Elizabeth really wanted to win.

[@scottmiller6495]

Everyone mentioned for both awards deserved to win because they were incredible entertainers, I must say that Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore,s acceptance speeches were Sensational!!!!!

[@Donald-ml5xv]

Little did Mary know what was to come! How great too that speeches were heartfelt and just thanked people that mattered most. Not like now where it's a cattle call of thanks for agents, partners, production companies and every other thing no one cares about.

[@lucygirl4926]

@Donald And don't forget God. Everyone always thanks God....

[@jerrycoleman5448]

Donald--so right. And look, no one mentioned anything remotely political! These award shows were truly for talented people back then. Just look at that audience--many icons from the 60's.

[@misterhot9163]

MTM was wrong. She made a glorious comeback with her own show and we're all the better for it. RIP Mar!! PS what great hair she had 👍

[@bombasticbushkin4985]

She was the best. Simply beautiful in every way.

[@conchitach1466]

[@barbarawebb7185]

How did they get their hair that way anyway?

[@cjb8010]

@@barbarawebb7185 in the day, many women wore wigs to get that look. There were “falls,” “winglets,” and whatever this was called.

Incredible that she did INDEED have that kind of experience again on her very own show. :)

I miss MTM every day. Hard to believe it's been 5 years since she passed (1/25/17) ❤ But I get to see her every day in a poster above my TV and every night in DVD reruns. Both legends to me.

[@mamacindyrogofsky495]

And all the tv stars who was so thrilled at being nominated... 😂😂😂😂😂

[@danseabreeze1404]

I loved her speech, short and sweet and thanked everyone without mentioning a million names then mentioning more names scared she'll forget someone, lol, that's usually the way it happens.

[@dsscam]

Back in a time that you needed to be the best of the best to make it as an actor or actress- with only 3 networks and no oversaturation of crap via the internet-or lower-level networks. Nowadays- with 1000 networks and 100 streaming services- there are so many untalented losers in Hollywood. Dick Van Dyke Show was the best of the best sitcoms of ALL TIME.

[@saadiakhalid6938]

Nice to see David Janssen

[@rodlabbe2976]

Poor Elizabeth Montgomery. She NEVER won an Emmy and was so deserving, too.

[@electraglide9357]

That blows my mind! She was such an amazing actress and so great on that show! Some people really get jipped now and then! (sigh)

[@EYE_GOTCHA]

I guess she didn’t kiss up to the right people, or maybe her husband pissed off the wrong people. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@akrenwinkle]

I forgot which lady said it- Elizabeth Montgomery or Marlo Thomas- but she said, "If we two were the only nominees that year, they'd just cancel the award."

[@DA90027]

She was definitely robbed in 1975 for Lizzie Borden

[@aidaabdur-rashid6616]

I wonder if Elizabeth Montgomery thought -a little bit-what she would do if she had the powers of Samantha about the loss ? She looked so hopeful of winning !

[@Lisa-di1wi]

My all-time favorite show, Green Acres, was never nominated for an Emmys. But yet, Eva Gabor was an Emmy presenter in 1967, 1968, and 1970.

[@howardadamsky2417]

Amazing bit of history.

[@aviduser1961]

How nice that Murray Slaughter was in attendance.

[@TelevisionVanguard]

Good catch... we noticed that as well, but that man is not Gavin MacLeod (Murray Slaughter...Capt. Stubing, Happy); that man is none other than Norman Lear ! Our guess, and it is a wild guess, is that during that spring 1966 time frame, Dick Van Dyke was filming the feature film (w/Debbie Reynolds) 'Divorce American Style' (one of our favorite movies of all-time!), which was created and produced by the tandem of Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin. Mr. Van Dyke may have invited Mr. Lear to come on over after filming that day to sit at the Dick Van Dyke Show table. Just a guess. Thank you for watching, and for watching so closely... well done! We do the exact same thing here... we try to not miss a thing on these videos. Best rgds, Television Vanguard staff

[@Lisa-di1wi]

This is the way that awards shows should be. To honor achievement. To keep the acceptance speeches short, sweet, and to the point. Not to air political and social grievances.

[@gabrielnavarro3833]

Mary was so beautiful!

[@nancydavis4618]

I love him❤️🎉💞

[@irwinmiller8684]

Everyone looks so great, Anne Francis, David Janssen, Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore; a little strange that they didn't express their thanks to Carl Reiner, who created, wrote and directed many of the best episodes of the series, and played Alan Brady brilliantly.

[@caterinascarcella]

I think Elizabeth Montgomery deserved the award.

[@jedijones]

Pretty crazy that they ended it at such a peak time for the show. Seinfeld also ended before fans or the industry wanted the show to end, although most people would probably agree Seinfeld was past its creative peak by then. Dick Van Dyke ended with 22 episodes less than Seinfeld. One more season and they would've surpassed Seinfeld. DVD had one or two hit movies after this and then no real hit until Diagnosis Murder 25 years later. Carl Reiner seemed to flounder too for 15 years until a successful run of directing comedy movies in the 80s. Rose Marie said they should've done 2 more years of the DVD show and I agree with that.

[@MerleOberon]

Yes, I agree, Seinfeld was running out of steam at the end, but some of the best DVDs were from the last season, it would have been nice for it to go on another year or two just to have some in color.

[@sarahg2653]

I had read that the creator only wanted five seasons no matter what happened.

this video is great classic tv. you can see a pre all in the family norman lear sitting next to the dick van dyke table. great stuff! Mary came back even stronger with her own show in the 70's.

[@georgekeating9501]

Funny (ironic) how Dick Van Dyke was 5 years older than David Janssen and Dick has outlived David by almost 45 years

[@lizaelliott6862]

Man, Mary Tyler Moore's hair..... D:

[@lucygirl4926]

@Lily Evans It was called a 'fall' or perhaps a 'wiglet' -- very popular in the late 60's. That is not actually her hair. I had older cousins who wore these.

Hello - unfortunately, this is the only clip from the 1966 Emmy Awards Show that we have at this time. Thank you for watching and hope you enjoyed this clip.

[@mthivier]

It’s a shame that neither Rose Marie nor Morey Amsterdam ever won for best supporting role (both were nominated multiple times).

[@savannahgrace111]

I know! They were amazing!

[@LoganLavery]

There was another occasion, Mary or "Mare", on your own show a few years later.

[@MostlyBrenda]

Rose Marie was nominated several times for Best Supporting actress, but never won. It always went to a dramatic performer.

[@richardmurray4042]

Yes, the Academy made a mess of the supporting awards for many years. Otherwise, RM would have won. Mary would have won another Emmy for DVD, too, in 1965, but the Academy scrapped the Best Actress Category!! They did that weird, group nomination thing in 1965. Go look it up. Super weird.

[@garyb3397]

a dozen homeless people could've found temporary housing in Mary's HAIR...but I digress. While it would've been so lovely for Montgomery to win, at least the over-awarded Lucille Ball didn't win for her mechanical, screeching "acting" on that dated relic, "The Lucy Show." Ball's best days were, sadly, behind her.

[@lucygirl4926]

@Garyb3397 You are absolutely right. As for Elizabeth Montgomery: I think viewers wanted a little more authenticity in TV characters, so witches, jeannies, et al were also losing popularity. (Lucy's best work was I Love Lucy....)

[@garyb3397]

"losing popularity???" Bewitched was only finishing its second of eight years, and was a far sharper comedy than I Dream of Jeannie.

[@lucygirl4926]

@Garyb3397 Okay, I was speaking IN GENERAL and I stick by my original statement: towards the end of the 60's, audiences IN GENERAL were losing interest in jeannies and witches and shit. Viewers were becoming a bit more mature with regard to their viewing habits.

[@fredricardo3272]

Garyb3397 I agree with the academy’s choice. While I always appreciated Bewitched, I never found Elizabeth Montgomery’s performance remarkable. Lucille Ball by this time had resorted to reading cue cards and the scripts were awful by this time on The Lucy Show. Mary Tyler Moore was the superior performer of the three. But what about Shirley Booth on Hazel?

[@rah62]

LOL - "Ball's best days were, sadly behind her"??? How wrong can you be! She won back-to-back Emmys the next two years for The Lucy Show.
