The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 4, Episode 2 - The Ghost of A. Chantz - Full Episode

[@ironduke2000]

This episode scared the hell out of me when I saw it in syndication as a little kid. My mother kept telling me it was funny, but I didn't think there was anything funny about that "ghost" appearing in mirrors and the like.

[@impishrebel5969]

As a kid I thought the walnut episode was freaky because it was so much like the horror and sci-fi of the same era and I'd seen way too many of those. This one I could kinda tell they were being set up.

[@karenalbeck4043]

I've watched every episode many times, but this is my most favorite

[@garyfrancis6193]

Favourite is n extreme adjective that doesn’t need a modifier.

[@karenalbeck4043]

@@garyfrancis6193 You really know how to suck the fun out of something, don't you. Yes, I'm aware that "favourite" is a superlative and does not need a modifier, but in a casual remark, one is permitted such little lapses. Used this way, it constitutes more hyperbole than factual statement. How sad, Gary, to spend your time correcting the grammar of strangers on the internet, particularly in areas where it is wholly irrelevant. Now, would you like to get into it over whether my first sentence is an actual question, therefore requiring a question mark, or if it is rhetorical and may use a period?

[@garyfrancis6193]

Agree and I also like “ The Great Petrie Fortune”.

[@garyfrancis6193]

Favourite is an extreme adjective that can’t be modified as there can be only one favourite.it’s like saying “most best”.

[@karenalbeck4043]

@garyfrancis6193 Give it a rest. It's a colloquialism.

[@YW2324]

This episode makes me happy if I'm sad or if I'm worrying about something 😊.

[@noobsshadow1369]

"It May Look Like a Walnut" was my mom's favorite episode. And that's probably one of the most well remembered. But "The Ghost of A. Chantz" has always been my favorite by a mile. I've always loved the "spooky haunted house" comedy episodes of TV shows. And this is one of the best ever done. They don't make Television like this anymore. 🤧

[@falcychead8198]

I was just the wrong age for that kind of thing. These and "Uhne Utz" gave me nightmares when I was a kid. And don't get me started on The Twilight Zone. The problem was that I wasn't old enough yet to understand that these things weren't real, just old enough to know that they _weren't right._ So when Sally was looking straight at me with that expression, I practically dove under the rug.

[@AmandathePandaBooks]

It takes a classical education and creative thinking to write like this!! And without f bombs!!

[@utube9000]

I also love the “spooky” episodes of old TV shows- and there were many of them! Seemed like every popular show back in the 60s and 70’s had at least one spooky episode! 😮

[@BillyAlabama]

I completely agree!

[@earnold1896]

​​@@falcychead8198.....the invaders used to scare me as a kid. Ironic as we ended up having a real landed ufo experience (still do have related happenings).

[@globetrotter5800]

This is the best episode of Mel finally getting the BEST of Buddy! Yippee....

The comment by Sally, " so what time do we feed the walls?" Just makes me laugh every time!

[@lizlee6290]

"This couch was open!" always cracks me up! Perfect comedic timing.

They had a decent script writer for this episode, apparently. Nobody delivered any ad libbed lines, obviously.

I remember this episode from when I was a kid in the 60s, 😊. What a treat. The fireplace wood guy has NO wristwatch though at about 7:33 when he checks his watch for the time LOL. It's funny too how Laura mentions Rob stealing bed pillows in the middle of the night. They slept in twin beds. That I remember well. TY for uploading. Nice memories

[@esmeraldagems9487]

How can they steal each other's pillows? Or take the covers off when they have twin beds? 😂

🧙 Hahahahahahahahaha!🎃 👻 Happy Halloween!🎃

[@michellepost2123]

This is one of my fave eps. It's a good mystery for first timers. I watched this show new, as a kid. What was never explained was what was the ghostly face Laura saw in the mirror, and what horror did Rose Marie see while outside the bedroom she shared with Laura. I always wondered why Dick van Dyke tripped over the ottoman at the start of the eps.Didnt he see that big thing and also know it was there? How can Rob and Laura hog pillows and blankets when they each have a twin bed?

[@teijaflink2226]

The ghostly face was the camera man, so creepy looking through.

[@funkycandycool]

My fave episode.

[@MrMenefrego1]

A clever play on Candid Camera; 'Sneaky Camera.' Back in the 1950s and 1960s, we were taught that there are no such things as ghosts! The only people who actually believed that were the ones who hadn't yet seen one. 😱 *BOO*

[@garyfrancis6193]

One of my faves. Unfortunately we will never know Rosemarie’s comments on it. During the film archives interview about the show she mentioned it twice as if she was eager to tell some story about it. The stupid interviewer never caught that and just keep ignorantly asking questions over her and she never got a chance to say what she wanted to about this episode. She passed on in 2017 so we will never know.

[@saran3214]

May be that this was the first episode after her husband died, May 27, 1964 and this was filmed August 11.

It’s funny now that it’s in High Definition you can see one of the cameras were out of focus.

[@oldschoolsinger]

Definitely in my top five all time episodes. But there's one little glitch. When Laura tells Buddy "to be careful because Rob kicks the covers off" and Rob tells Sally "if she steals a pillow just take it back", I've never understood how they supposedly knew this since the two of them slept in separate twin beds for the entire series. So no one would have been kicking covers off of anyone and no one would've been stealing pillows.

9:11 is yet another timeline inconsistency. If they only worked together for 5 years- how were they ALL together when Laura announced her pregnancy with Ritchie- who, by this timeline is likely 10 years old.

[@moriahw3947]

Just realized Buddy said “we’ve been working together 5 years…” to Sally, but it’s really been 10!

[@jb6712]

Couldn't have been 10....by the time the series ended, it had only been nine years.

[@marinazagrai1623]

This was a funny one, except for Sally’s face (viewed from our perspective, it looks a bit fake) and Mel’s knee high socks in black, no less! There were many scary movies during the 80s, unlike this! Still, after 60+ yrs, it’s still a favorite series of mine. I wasn’t even born yet.

Fun but kind of corny. When Sally is seeing the bad whatever she's got her mouth wide open in terror. You telling me she wouldn't have been screaming and fighting those who were trying to take her? Love the show though. Would have been great to have been in the live audience. I suppose they were told to believe they could see the face of the man in the mirror.....While filming it would not have been there.
