The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 3, Episode 32 - Teacher's Petrie - Full Episode

[@BigBandGuy]

DVD & MTM are the cutest couple ever on TV.

Love Dick Van Dyke 12/15 was his 97th birthday ❤ MTM Rosemarie and Morey A are legends. Bernard Fox is great, too.

Laura and Millie were so hilarious - sort of the Lucy and Ethel of the 60s.

The writing teacher is the legendary Bernard Fox. I remember him from so many things, like the buffoonish Colonel Rodney Crittenden in Hogan's Heroes, the cranky warlock physician Dr. Bombay in Bewitched, Dr. Watson in The Hound of the Baskervilles, the last endeavor I remember him from was as aviator Winston Havelock going off to his final 'tally-ho' in The Mummy in 1999; which I just watched again last week. Of course, he did many other films and TV sitcoms. Where have all the character actors gone?

[@thomasmagnum3588]

He was also in Titanic

Don't forget he was also a gentlman's gentalman Malcolm Merriweather on the Andy Griffith Show annoying Andy while trying to help out on one episode while Aunt Bea was away. Then made a second appearanceas as the same character in the colored ones.

[@antonewilson4310]

Fox was THE character actor of the 60s and early 70s nearly as big as the great Allan Melvin.

Rob's "It's all right with me!" at 22:57 left me laughing for a while 😂😂

[@danielasuncion9991]

Laura's reaction is what sells that moment! That scene had to be perfect the first time. Or, the audio of the audience's first reaction was used, during a subsequent take.

Buddy mentions his bar mitzvah speech. Then later in the series he has a bar mitzvah as an adult as he never had one as a child.

[@hollybigelow5337]

True, but to be fair he was very embarrassed of the fact that he hadn’t had his bar mitzvah and that he was having to do it as an adult. It could be a writing mistake, but I can absolutely see a scenario where Buddy had a lifetime of joking about a bar mitzvah speech that never happened as a way to cover up the fact that he didn’t actually do one.

[@DoctorProph3t]

It’s a show, the characters are whatever they need to tell the story they wanna tell.

[@cb8957]

I once had a friend read me something she wrote and I was in such a silly mood I saw it as a comedy when she was dead serious about it. She was offended I laughed...but the jokes on me cause she grew up and is publishing her first novel!

[@daleupthegrove6396]

15:05. That is one bloodthirsty granny!

[@kangadillo]

The teacher reminded me so much of Mr. Banks in the movie "Mary Poppins" that I Googled him, but I was wrong. Mr. Banks was played by David Tomlinson. But he and this actor, Bernard Fox, are similar in some ways, don't you think?

[@KristinLove333]

I absolutely agree

[@esmeraldagems9487]

Brenda @ 15:09 also plays other reoccurring characters in other episodes and In the Andy Griffith show. Lol I'm pretty sure I've seen her in films and other TV series. Among other actors. I love how they always used character actors in these old shows.

[@giarc888]

The teacher was never after rob's writing skills he was after laura's ❤

[@martinepstein3332]

Bernard Fox's English accent comes through but he was actually born in Wales

[@bluecamus5162]

Cheerio Meredith stole the scene. "......Jonny Moxie, you stink!"

[@dsscam]

4:20 At first, I thought Rob said, "The vice president of the bank... kept giving you extra pens, and he finally asked me to write him an APP!" I knew The Dick Van Dyke Show was ahead of its time. :) 12:07: Case in point- one of many continuity errors. Buddy wasn't Bar Mitzvahed until 2 years later in Season 5.

[@FigaroHey]

Another plot they recycled on the Mary Tyler Moore show - twice. Once when Mary writes a story about her grandfather and Mr Grant tells her it's bad; the other when Mary and Rhoda take a writing class and the teacher falls in love with Mary.

[@DanielLiebert-i1p]

When the boy babysitter falls in love with Laura that was taken intact from an I Love Lucy episode with a young Richard Crenna.

Millie is funny

[@mf-qi8gn]

It was very common to lie about one's age. Both my grandmother did. Her mantra was "your only as old as you feel"... and my great-grandmother did too.... we thought she was in her 90s when she passed. After finding her birth certificate, she was 103. I honestly wish we still could do this. Because frankly, it's nobody's business how old you are.... and if you keep telling yourself that you’re old, studies have shown how the body reacts to this, and you age faster... Just saying.

[@kurtb8474]

You can only blame the teacher for being a idiot for thinking he could score with a married woman. But, Laura was gorgeous and you can't blame him for being a bit smitten by her.

[@HansDelbruck53]

No teacher has ever scored with a married woman, of course.

[@sharone.langley2923]

And it reminds me of the episode when Rob's art teacher made a play for him.

It's funny that Laura couldn't write anything good, but she did later on in season 5.

[@mf-qi8gn]

If you see the season five episode... yes she wrote something good, but it turned out to be a story from a published book that her grandmother told her over and over as a child.

[@dawnelder9046]

Many years ago my daughter came to me about a show that was on when I was a teen. Told me it was very racist. I had to explain that it was actually a show against racism. All In The Family So now to all the young, cute people out there who are taking a joke as a serious lie. No one thought that Sally was 27. No one expected anyone to believe that. The character Sally did not expect anyone to believe it. It was a joke, as it was not uncommon for single women to shave a few years off their age. Mostly 2 to 5 years. She just took it to an extreme. That was the joke. A freind who finally found her husband threw a newspaper ad also mentioned the number of men she met at coffee houses who were well into their 50s claiming to be in their 20s. That was in the 80s. So the shaving of a few years was not confind to women. And in the case of those men, several decades. 😂😂😂 Now, with the internet, filters, etc., the lying is just more extreme. But like those men in the coffee shop, you will half to meet sometime.

[@sharksport01]

Sally's hair is so french provincial.

[@TRINFSS]

“Gorgeous girl of 27 with a figure like this…” Someone has been lying to Sally.

[@joanneboag5993]

Pretty amusing that Sally describes herself as a "27-year-old" woman. But, back then, women had to retain their youth as much as possible in order to be appealing to men, apparently, so they had to lie about their age. In that regard, I'm glad times have changed. :)

[@stephenstumbke1721]

I think she is appealing, a little scary yes but

[@HansDelbruck53]

Women don't lie about their age now? You haven't seen Facebook.

[@chereecargill355]

Rose Marie was born in 1923. That made her about 38 to 42 while the show was on.

By today's standards, that was sexual violence. A good man should give him a strong punch to the face, and teach him a fat lesson. That is the proper thing to do.

[@elisasmith1609]

I agree wth the comments that sally certainly is no 27 year old. 30s, 40s yes. I wonder why women ever began the trend of lying about their age? It was especially common decades ago. Nobody loves aging but to feel you need to pretend in order to please others is a nauseating thing. It's too bad television sold the fighting of couples such as rob and Laura as comedy. It's so unhealthy for children to be subject to bickering, barking parents.

[@DanielLiebert-i1p]

Rose Marie was 39 at this time. These days you can be 39 and get carded at a bar.

[@dawnelder9046]

It was an ongoing joke. No one at the time thought she was 27, nor did the producers expect people to.
