The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 1, Episode 8 - To Tell or Not to Tell - Full Episode

[@catbriggs8362]

Dick Van Dyke was a master of physical comedy. He loved mime work and his "big dog" bit was hilarious!

This brings back memories of my childhood. My parents routinely had variety shows, starring themselves and my father's co workers, compete with audiences, in the living room while I was growing up .......... simply magical memories. LOL.

[@AmandathePandaBooks]

I grew up with my army officer father and my mother, middle class station wagon parents....so cocktail parties around the neighborhoods were common and so were block parties!! And arranged camping trips with my parents and their best friends and kids! And i was a girl scout and we pitched tents, built fires, learned how to swim, etc! I was raised in the midwest.

[@markmaki4460]

AHA - THAT'S why my mom only used Cheer for the laundry until the 1990s!

Procter & Gamble was Dick's primary sponsor during the entire run of his series.

[@katarinakrnjevic8183]

The Dick van Dyke show is one of best sitcoms of 1960s like Mchale army , my favorite Martian , Bewitched, Gilligan island ,i dream of Jeannie ,The Monkess , Hogan heroes , The Addams family , the Munsters and get Smart.

[@l.5832]

I used to watch all of these in the 1960s and my mother complained to my teacher that I watched too much TV (I still got straight As and that was when straight As were rare). If I could do it all again I would still watch all those shows. The education was pretty much a waste of time.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Conspicuously missing from your list are, The Beverly Hillbillies, and, Green Acres.

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally telecast on November 14, 1961. "David Adler" was actually Frank Tarloff, who wrote for "THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW" in the 1950's (and other radio and TV shows). He was blacklisted in the mid-1950's {he refused to "name names" before the House Un-American Activities Committee}, and moved to England- although Danny Thomas insisted the most "subversive" thing Frank ever said was "Richard Nixon is a jerk". He wanted to keep Tarloff employed in the industry, so he suggested using an alias in submitting his scripts [Frank also used that name on scripts he wrote for "THE REAL McCOYS" and "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW"]. By 1965, Frank had returned to the U.S., and wrote screenplays under his real name (including "A Guide For the Married Man")......and later wrote for "MAUDE" and "THE JEFFERSONS".

[@janetfreedom5437]

I remember reading that Tarloff originally toyed with the name Erik Shepherd but Thomas thought that didn't really sound like a television writer so Adler it was.

[@fromthesidelines]

Probably in England, Tarloff would have gotten away with an "Erik Shepherd" alias, as they had fancy names listed as television writers.

[@randilevson9547]

Just like Dalton Trumbo and Ring Lardner Jr., and others. Anyone who tefused to "name names" at the HUAC hearings was a hero. Those hearings were nothing more than 'witch hunts', designed to frighten people, and effectively strip them of their human rights. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall showed up to support their HUAC-persecuted friends. They were high profile enough to attract attention to the plight of the persecuted performers. Kirk Douglas hired Dalton Trumbo to write his film "Spartacus", finally using his own name, instead of an alias. This effectively broke the Hollywood blacklist. Trumbo later said that Kirk Douglas gave him back his name. This always makes me tear up. Who are any of us without our names? Not so long before this American nightmare, many millions of people in Europe were reduced to only being identified by the numbers tattooed on their arms by the nazis. Then they were incinerated in gas chambers. Not so strangely, as there were 6 million-plus Jewish Holocaust victims, many of the Hollywood Ten (actually many more than ten) were Jewish. Joseph McCarthy, the evil face of HUAC, was a known anti-Semite. Sadly, the great actor John Garfield was pushed so hard by HUAC, that the stress caused him to die from a massive heart attack. I don't think he was even 40 years old. Whoever said that "names can never hurt you," was wrong. Dead wrong.

Frozen dinners were 3 for a dollar on sale at this time .Mom said it was 1 for dad plus a roll, 1 for her, and my brother and I would split one. We would eat them when the construction would shut down for the winter and she would get a job in retail.

[@stephenstumbke1721]

Va va va voom 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mdit21]

This is the episode Rob reveals he has a brother (to answer Sally's question). He also says his brother (presumably Stacey) is married. However, there's no mention of his marital status when Stacey comes to visit 18 episodes later (but acts as though he is single). In season 4, Stacey returns (to open a nightclub) and it's clear he is single. He states he has a fiancée (with the catch that he never met her). He wants to marry her but he's bashful and doesn't have much confidence in himself (and she is under the impression he is someone else). To boost his self image and overcome his shyness, he goes on practice dates with Sally.

[@katsssmith]

i noticed that too. maybe he got divorced in the meantime and they never mention that?

[@angelapowell9030]

[@jburma]

5:16 "I'm just a housewife."

[@michaelsantangelo571]

16:20 it's safe to say Laura Petrie in leotards with her legs > Max Klinger(Jamie Farr- M*A*S*H) in leotards 😂😂

[@maggiegarber246]

Let’s remember that Laura was in the USO show and married Rob when she was 17. She wouldn’t even have a clue what she wanted at that age. This info was from a later season.

[@ardeladimwit]

that's the problem with your generation, not her generation. Your gen is perpetually juvenile and unable to accept responsibility; her generation n was motivated, rooted and relatively ambitious and responsible.

[@jackkircher1755]

I guess producer and star Carl Reiner didn't want his son Rob (the " 25:10 Meathead" from All in the Family) involved in the show since her was only 13 when the series started and 18 when it ended. Rob's adopted Penny Marshall's (Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley") daughter who went on to play in several movies including "A league of their own" and a very minor role in "Big" with Tom Hanks.

[@dennistucker9081]

user-s -. I liked at least the pilot of “My Mother, the Car.” Alan Burns has said the show later lost focus and became almost maudlin, or words to that effect. The theme song was one of the best theme songs on 1960’s television.

[@Kate-ui5kc]

Klinger was the delivery boy?

[@maggiegarber246]

I never could understand how women could wear high heels, let alone dance in them. I could tolerate them for only about 1 or 2 hours.

[@katsssmith]

same! i can’t wear heels, so uncomfortable

[@jackkircher1755]

I have often wondered why MTM never displayed her incredible dancing talent in her own show. Perhaps due to the character of the show itself. Us there anyone out there who followed her closely enough to have figured out the answer to the question I just posed? After all her show was about a decade later so perhaps she wasn't up to it anymore.

This episode is weird. Everyone in Dick’s life is telling him to keep his wife in a life of domestic boredom

[@elaineteeter9485]

Why would you think that being a wife and mother is a life of boredom? The years I spent being a housewife were the happiest and most fulfilling of my life. My husband was proud of me and of the home and family we created. Wouldn't have missed those fleeting years.

[@BradZook]

@@elaineteeter9485 THE MOST important job in society! Sickening our culture runs down the job of caring for and raising children. Literally NOTHING more important. Bless you.
