"I don't think he's gonna come home, Rob.." slays me.

[@ingridsanchez9787]

That line always kills me 😂

[@mencha0rewegachi]

"You keep that up you'll end up on a hospital show. "🤣 umm Diagnosis Murder anyone?

[@brittany3247]

I like that show 😂

[@Petraglyph777]

love how a three piece combo suddenly sounds like a full orchestra, brass section included :)

The magic of Hollywood......

[@AmandathePandaBooks]

Jerrys parody about rock n roll is still hilarious!!

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

These 2 episodes are my favorites ,they are perfect

[@kristabrewer6736]

um, ok

[@starrthomas2661]

Continuation.

[@amierichan7231]

​​@@kristabrewer6736 you have made it quite clear in this and other posts that you think Jerry Van Dyke had no talent. What is also clear is that you think it's important to keep saying so. Yes, it's your opinion, but a mystifying one. He had a long and illustrious career and was nominated for Emmys several times. There are many of us in the performing arts who think he was amazing, has loads of talent, and used it well.

​@@amierichan7231 Like me for example. I freakin' love Jerry Van Dyke. Esp on Coach.

[@brigitteking969]

@@amierichan7231 The "lovable loser" role he plays in his brother's show is offputting. (vomiting emoji here) Not so lovable.

[@MrGlobaldave1]

So much talent in the Van Dyke family - got a flash back kick from the reel to reel "recorder" -

[@robertdesantis729]

The guy sitting on the floor with his back to the audience was Dick Van Dyke’s personal assistant who always appeared when they needed non-talking extras

[@jb6712]

Frank Adamo also had some speaking parts throughout the series, including the part of a fey author who spoke in a silly, high-pitched voice. He was an actor before being DVD's personal assistant, and DVD wanted to give him an opportunity to act as much as he wanted to.

[@tonyarceneaux286]

@@jb6712 Frank Adamo was in the duck 🦆 episode.

[@1Bornconfused]

The episode in either S3 or S4 when the butcher falls in love with Sally, gives her a ticket to a play, Sally gives it to Laura instead. She attends and Frank Adamo is the actor with the watermelon in his arms - he had some lines in that episode.

[@deeindu6616]

Such a talented ensemble! I wish Rose Marie sang more. She was great.

[@scook5599]

Yes, she was absolutely wonderful!

It is a fantastic song from I think the 1920's. Was from a musical revue, and usually sung a bit slower. This version is my favourite.

[@jdm1505]

@@amierichan7231 This was likely based on Jackie and Roy's version, which featured similar scat singing. I like that one, but "Rob and Laura's" rendition is my favourite.

[@foadnwol6684]

I'd never heard this song before...I loved i!

[@foadnwol6684]

Love the shows when they're all performing. Such wholesomeness and real entertainment, whcih is lacking today.

[@gailcaldwell1512]

It takes (took) true UNADULTERATED TALENT to do what Jerry VD did as Stacy. And the episodes of singing and dancing were my FAVORITE!

[@barbaralonero4306]

I love Sally Rogers voice (Rose Marie)

[@pjproudify]

Boy oh boy...what I wouldn't give for friends like this cast. Only in Hollywood.

[@gregl2455]

This is set in New York City.

[@crystalferguson7308]

What an antique treat.... ❤ I don't think I've ever seen this one. I never seen Rob's brother before besides these two videos that I've just watched. His accent matches Rob's and I never knew Sal could sing that amazing 😍 🎶 Everyone sang great and as usual very funny 🤣 Thank You so much!

[@ALANLACORTEBRITO]

THE BROTHERS VAN DYKE WITH THE SAME TALENT

[@scook5599]

Jerry Van Dyke gave an inspired performance here! Rose Marie, so talented. I heard or read somewhere that she initially thought she would have a much bigger role. That was until Mary Tyler Moore auditioned and got the role of Laura.

[@victorwadsworth821]

This & when Danny Thomas had eyes in the back of his head are my favorite episodes.

[@a.b.creator]

The walnut episode! i forget what the title is 🤔

[@amierichan7231]

[@bobbyrutherford9359]

I have Loved this for years

[@normgardner4560]

I'm sure Rob and Laura like Alan Brady banging his shoes on the coffee table!

[@fredkruse9444]

If you're older, you might remember Kruschev pounding his shoe on a table during a speech, a year so before this episode.

[@MrMenefrego1]

~20:22, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have with us tonight one of the newest Rock 'n' Roll sensations; here he is, the new teenage rage, *Skid Row!"* - I've often wondered if the Rock band Skid Row acquired their name from this episode? I have also wondered if the writers of this episode spoke retrospectively regarding the fact that they thought up that great Rock band's name way before anyone else.

[@amierichan7231]

I think this may be the only episode where they literally break the 4th wall, that is, the counter next to the kitchen sink.

[@mdit21]

This was during the time the show was keeping the appearance of Alan Brady partially obscure when he was in a scene.

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

Laura looks great in that white dress

[@Hal09i]

A different time, Attractive, fun, no tats. Class...

[@jb6712]

I saw that episode in a one-time limited run in color (it was filmed in color,, as they all were, but economics and the television dictators all said "black and white!"), and the dress was actually a very light pink-peach color. Beautiful in color, but unfortunately came out as white when seen only on b/w film.

[@amierichan7231]

@@jb6712 Hmmm-- not sure about that. If it's on B&W film, then how was it filmed in colour? When you see episodes in colour, it's because they were "colourised" by computer, which is just filling in what works, it can't determine what the original colours were. Occasionally you will see actual colour photos from the show, ànd those are real and accurate. The reason it was done in B&W had nothing to do with the PTB. Carl Reiner made the decision, because colour would have cost him an additional $7000 per episode, and he was trying to save money. Same reason that everyone except DVD and MTM had to use their own clothes.

[@gailcaldwell1512]

I always love how the three-four piece band always sounds like a 12 piece Orchestra. Ha! Humm

[@victorwadsworth821]

Carl sure liked to sit in these episodes.

[@victorwadsworth821]

Jerry had a ice cream place near me in Fort Worth.

[@hepcow1379]

The great Tommy Tedesco playing guitar in the band. Look him up if you don’t know.

[@tonyarceneaux286]

Great 😃 idea 💡 for Rob to use a tape 📼 recorder to help his brother.

[@YW2324]

Awesome episode 😊

[@amierichan7231]

This episode shows off the talents of the cast like nothing else, even more than the Christmas episode. Is the piano player the same guy who played Eisenbauer's father?

[@HaysTanya]

I don't think so. Jack Albertson played the father in that episode. "The Twizzle". Another of my favorite episodes. The actor who played Randy was gorgeous! And what a voice!

[@evalehde3869]

They sure started things late back then! A party that starts at 8:30!

[@randilevson9547]

That is when grown-up parties usually start.

[@carldamacion3740]

Alan Brady is listed in the closing credits. So he was a real star a comedy variety show in the early sixties?

[@jdm1505]

I too noticed that in the credits. It was a bit of subterfuge. Alan Brady was played by producer Carl Reiner, but they never showed his face in the early episodes.

[@82accs]

24:51 And unusual view of the end of the kitchen counter, it appears to be another walkthru to the dining room/living room area....

[@lonnyjaw]

Back in the GOOD DAYS when there was REAL comedy on television - unlike today with it's senseless DRIVEL.

[@amierichan7231]

DVDS was the exception. So many of the popular sitcoms back then were very unfunny, especially the family ones. Leave it to Beaver, Father knows best. . . awful. There have always been the occasional gems amongst the trash, Cheers, the Office. . .

[@littleredhairedgirlsteph3922]

Jerry is such a cutie.

Can't play a stringed instrument without moving the fingers along the frets. "Buddy" was constantly given lines insulting "Mel's" weight---when HE was visibly and clearly quite 'robust' himself!

[@amierichan7231]

Jerry Van Dyke is actually playing -- not sure what you are trying to say?

[@tiffanyspencer1082]

Morey Amsterdam and Richard Deacon were actually best friends in real life. Almost all the insults they threw at each other, they wrote themselves at the bar after work lol

[@tonyarceneaux286]

How many times that Jerry Paris directed episodes of the show in season one?

[@preetakumar6593]

Jerry Van Dyke pretty much tries to imitate his brother's routine during the whole 'Skid Row' act.

[@xxwhispersxx2856]

"Somewhere deep inside that boy -" And Stacy's what, 30?

[@bmyra]

Where was Millie?!

[@judyjamison9860]

Good catch…I didn’t notice. Weird that she wasn’t at the party!

[@amierichan7231]

She may have been pregnant. She was pregnant a couple of times during the 5 year run of the show. Sometimes she was obviously, and they never mention it.

[@Migdana]

Well.....😂

[@dianacastillo498]

Funny

[@Stevenwalker007]

😂

[@dyates6380]

As much as I LOVED this show, I immediately turned it off when Dick's brother or a "singing and dancing" talent show or benefit being practiced in their living room episode was on. DUMB as hell, BOTH show topics. It must have been the era to think that singing and dancing shows were something people wanted to see. NOT ME. If I wanted to see someone do that, I'd not watch a situation comedy.

[@borisbloch7254]

These two episodes with the somnabulistic brother are the least interesting ones. La Sonnambula is good as an opera not a comedy

[@teriburgan8436]

I disagree. It’s so sweet and charming and very funny. Plus it was based on Jerry Van Dykes’s actual history of sleep walking.
