The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 4, Episode 31 - Br-rooom, Br-rooom - Full Episode

[@Ar7wen]

It's funny to see her hair plastered in place with hairspray! And teased and fluffed up in the usual style of the times. She's always so worried something will happen to Rob.

[@daviddriver2692]

One of my favorite episodes!!!

[@rossscarcelli5852]

Truly one of the better ones.

[@Ar7wen]

That's not much of a motorcycle! Lol The actor who played Richie looked like he was struggling not to laugh when he first came into the garage and saw Rob on the bike! Dick Van Dyke was so funny in these.

[@johnrobertson2749]

What a fun episode - so many motorcycle jokes! I've been riding for 50 odd years, and still love riding almost every day. K1300GT...or my 1980 Dnepr sidecar. Sorry that Rob decided not to keep it, but Sally now - she should love riding!

[@Ar7wen]

I love tuna cassarole!

[@randilevson9547]

$2.00 for 8 hamburgers, with everything! Wow!! Those were the days!! "Calvada," written on the wall of the hamburger stand, was the name of Carl Reiner's production company. An aggregate of some important people in his life. Another episode featured a character named Big Max Calvada, played by the brilliantly menacing Sheldon Leonard. He was also attached to the production of the DVD Show. As a vaguely connected sidebar, the characters of Sheldon and Leonard on The Big Bang Theory, were named to honour Sheldon Leonard, the brilliant tough-guy character actor, mentioned above. You're welcome.

this was the best comedy show of the 60s. i don't think there was one bad episode. personally, i didn't like the one's about sally, though. they kinda make me sad. but i think season 4 is their best season. even the episode about sally was good that season. just one excellent show after another all year long.

[@ytcarol]

Sally, or Rose Marie, actually had a wonderful marriage so don't feel too sorry!

[@impishrebel5969]

@@ytcarol Rose Marie is not the character, dear. Sally didn't get married until Herman's mother passed. It was in the reunion show.

[@randilevson9547]

That motorcycle looks like little more than a bicycle on steroids. They have progressed to monster-sized chrome covered death machines.

[@nancyhowell4505]

The 24¢ owed Rob in 1965 is equivalent to $2.14 today. 🙂

[@PaulManzi-gy6kc]

5 candy bars back then too!!.

[@T.C.Clarien]

Off Doris !!! ....Off Doris ...She did the 1 Thing i Can't forgive ....She Smiled at a Cop !!! .....LOL .......CLASSIC

[@a.b.creator]

The EXTREMELY attractive male biker being quiet in the back corner is a young Gary Busey 🥰 (figures, i developed a huge crush on him after seeing Point Break, now i watch this..did some sluething ..and it's Gary Busey again! I guess i would get a crush on him at any age 😂)

[@masudashizue777]

I was surprised by Laura's reference to Bulletman. How many nowadays remember Bulletman?

[@issakelly8071]

Not many but I do. But I love comic history though

[@MrMenefrego1]

Bullet Man, the Human Bullet, is an oddity either ignored or fanatically loved by GI Joe collectors. With his chromed helmet and arms, and always stylish singlet he is ready to assist the Adventure Team in their battle against the Intruders.

[@MrMenefrego1]

That motorcycle dubbed "Big Red" that 'Robby Baby' bought is not really a Geronimo, it's actually a 1965 Harley Davidson M50.

[@jrubybowman]

it looks like an electric bike - not very substantial

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@jrubybowman It's only 50CCs.

[@jb6712]

They couldn't do product placement back then, so had to make up names for anything they brought onto the set to use as props.

[@Fred-mp1vf]

Those smaller Harley's were made in Italy.

[@garyfrancis6193]

The Harley was a clone of the vastly superior Geronimo made by the same company that made his Tarantula sedan later.

[@michellepost3098]

Laura is always bossing Rob, treats him as a child. I'm surprised he doesn't have to get her permission to breathe. I can't see Rob as the motorcycle type, though. This episode is funny.

[@l.5832]

I read a comment on another episode that Rob bossed around Laura too much, demanding what she should do so I think it's even......

[@munkustrap2]

​@@l.5832 I read the same comment. I either thought of replying (or actually did) that it was the other way around the majority of the time.

[@debbiewilkins1623]

You sure can tell who wore the pants in their family! Lol

[@JesusismyRock773]

I always wonder where Ritchie is. Kids usually are in the living room, but Ritchie seems to spend an a lot of time somewhere else. At least in my house during that time period. We were in the living room watching black and white tv.

[@3dartistguy]

Maybe you were other kids were different 😊

[@curtgottler9961]

Laura never seems to be too warm to him.

[@teijaflink2226]

He's in his room playing video games.

[@zachfernandez92]

​@@teijaflink2226Video games didn't exist then. They didn't start showing up until the late 70's.

[@connienania486]

In all sitcoms kids stay in their rooms.We stayed outside playing or were in game room or doing chores.But we must realize this is fantasy.But I love it!!

[@markmaki4460]

Gasoline prices averaged 30-31cents/gal over the run of this series (1961-1966), which was $1.83-1.91 in 2015 dollars.

[@JW...-oj5iw]

I began my first gas station job in 1970. Standard price for a gallon of regular, installed by me or one of my coworkers was 27.9¢. Add two cents more for mid grade and another two for premium grade. Often, we'd have competition price drops, sometimes called gas wars. Regular would drop to 19.9¢/gal. That only lasted a few years until Aramco was nationalized by Saudi Arabia, leading to the oil embargo and the price gouging of the American and European peoples. It's still happening because our government failed to keep the supply of oil on the free market, allowing middle eastern sand fleas to enrich themselves on the oil our companies mined out of their territory.

[@1Bornconfused]

So was this Rob's midlife crisis episode? 😂

[@sateeshmaharaj9730]

Ramrod😂 Now, the rainbow. How times have changed.

[@Ar7wen]

Lol She's right, he is a klutz!

[@MeMeDaVinci]

It looks like an electric bike. If Harley made that, it wasn't long they stopped. I had a moped more substantial.

[@Rippypoo]

Uh-oh. Spotted a goof. Laura just said that Richie was 8 years-old. But in a previous episode, she said he was 9. Oops.

[@jb6712]

He was actually 10 y.o. IRL in this episode. When the show was made in the mid-60's, though, Carl Reiner didn't think it'd ever go into syndication and reruns, so goofs were just overlooked, him thinking it wouldn't matter in the future.

[@willmorris8334]

14:22 that's actually a really bad thing to say. Hurting someone's feelings can do a lot more damage than hurting them physically.

[@flwrfan1752]

Calvada was the production company started by Carl Reiner,Dick Van Dyke and Danny Thomas.

[@curtgottler9961]

That's bad form to pick up and slam down somebody else's motorcycle without permission, wouldn't you say?

[@Fred-mp1vf]

3:57 Even if it were true that bikers have fewer accidents, a dented fender on a car is equivalent to the broken neck of a motorcyclist.

[@Sandy12595]

17:24 heh old timer. Meanwhile 59 years later...

[@normgardner4560]

Rob is so whipped!!

[@capacola262743]

not only by laura. everyone he meets dominates him.

[@michaelparks6120]

That is one sissy looking motorcycle. Lol

[@DR-mq1vn]

Looks like a moped.

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

Out of the mouths of babes, comes the bad news and the truth

[@normgardner4560]

Maybe Laura would've felt different if he had got training wheels for his "HOG"

[@preetakumar6593]

Lol at Rob thinking Laura is jealous of him. He hasn't said anything that stupid since Season 1 of the show.

[@jb6712]

Larry Mathews was 10 y.o., not 8, when this episode was made. He was far too tall and big to be playing the part of an 8 y.o., but they could have made him 10 without issue.

[@randilevson9547]

Why is there always somebody coughing on these laugh tracks? These shows were not recorded with a live studio audience, so the coughs could have been easily edited out before being laid down here.

[@tiffanyspencer1082]

They were recorded in front of a live audience though

[@leestamm3187]

Unlike most sitcoms at the time, The DVD Show WAS filmed in font of a live audience.

[@munkustrap2]

Maybe you should come back & delete your comment since you couldn't've been more wrong.

[@impishrebel5969]

Those leather jackets haven't changed much.

[@munkustrap2]

Imagine...Motorcycle jackets haven't changed much. Who would've thought a jacket made to be worn while riding a motorcycle wouldn't change much.

[@robponton3181]

Oh he can't have a motorcycle but she can wear her hair like that? Now that's messed up!

[@Fred-mp1vf]

There's a huge difference between buying a motorcycle and simply changing hair styles! How would you feel if your wife bought one without consulting you?

[@TheOv3rlordK1ng]

Chim chimeny

[@capacola262743]

that's a scooter at best.
