According to my research: The series was originally called “Head of the Family” and starred Carl Reiner. However, CBS executives thought Reiner was “too Jewish, too intellectual, and too New York.” They cast Dick Van Dyke instead, creating a new version of the show. Van Dyke took a risk by signing on, as he was already starring in a hit Broadway show at the time. Fortunately, “The Dick Van Dyke Show” became a classic, centered around Rob Petrie (played by Van Dyke), his wife Laura (Mary Tyler Moore), and their comedy co-writers12. Interestingly, Johnny Carson was also considered for the role of Rob Petrie1. Carl Reiner’s creative vision and the talented cast contributed to the show’s enduring success

Thank you, Rick. I love this show. ❤

[@rager1969]

I think the lead of a show called The Dick Van Dyke Show really had to go to Dick Van Dyke. In all seriousness, the fact they named the show after him is remarkable. Regardless of how well his career was going prior to that, it seems to me that he wasn't at the level to have warranted that.

[@Jared_Wignall]

It’s interesting to see how much some of these people made on these old shows. Thank you for the video Rick, I hope you’re doing well. Keep up the great work and have a great day. Take care!

[@davidjames6879]

For me, one of the best written shows ever (and it's about tv writers too!) Today's sitcoms are nothing but bad jokes and depricating humour. A smart contract decision and he keeps on keeping on at 96.

[@Avery_4272]

Agree. Dick Van Dyke once mentioned that Carl Reiner was great at paying attention to how the show's actors talked in real life and writing for their voices' unique 'notes' and rhythms. I think that's one of the reasons they sound so natural in the show. That, and being so talented!

[@thespookyone66]

This, I love Lucy and Mary Tyler Moore were my top 3 favorite shoes! Thank you Rick. I think it be interesting to see what the other actors made. 🤔

[@kathymitchell4195]

It wonder about the actors today and what deals they make? It's a lot more complicated now! And more money!

[@David-q3n3o]

Great TV ❤

[@dawoool]

As long as each actor was paid what was agreed to beforehand, it's nobody's business what co-workers make.

[@wiseguymaybe]

I think they used the word Calvada, hoping I'm spelling that right, in one of the plots. It might have been the one where Rob is trying to get Buddy and Sally a raise. I might be wrong on that, but I have heard that word somewhere on The Dick Van Dyke show. Or maybe I just saw it on the closing credits.

[@ianmalcolm2552]

@wiseguy… One episode is called “Big Max Calvada”. Sheldon Leonard played a gangster type character who wanted the writers to come up with an act for his untalented nephew. Excellent episode.

[@wiseguymaybe]

@@ianmalcolm2552 Thank you. I knew I heard Cavada, but I forgot that was the episode. I must be losing my mind, I just saw that episode, two weeks ago. Sheldon made a great gangster.

[@ScarlettFire341]

Was is Dick's comedy of Mary's beauty that drew the audience ? I watch it now to look at Mary !

[@stevengreco1939]

Dick Van Dyke is the greatest!

[@CAllen1950]

I am 73 and still enjoy a number of the early shows and this one recently. Dick and Mary (sounds like an early schoolbook) had wonderful chemistry!

[@tiffanyb.7596]

One of my favorite shows!! My family dearly loves everything Dick Van Dyke does. 🥰 I’m happy he was decently paid. What a treasure he is. Very nice to know he is still with us. ✨Thank you again for your video! 😊🦋

[@jehobden]

I read in Vince Waldron's book about the show that Rose Marie made $1K per episode at the beginning, about 2/3 of what Van Dyke made, and the other regulars were probably similarly compensated. His book mentioned that Danny Thomas himself offered MTM a small part of his ownership in the show, but she turned it down to make more $ upfront. Of course she made much more from her own self-named sitcom, which led to many other shows, both comedies & dramas, being produced by her company (MTM) as well.

[@sallyn2393]

I bet at the time he couldn’t imagine that he would live as long as he has, so good for him! Very interesting, Rick!

[@secretchannel4747]

He has overcome many of the personal demons he battled with during the production of the show. Liver intact.

[@JBIRDRN8]

I loved this show and still watch it. Would love to see you do more on it.

[@timothyweers8054]

Now that Pluto TV, Roku and Tubi have 24 hour channels for the Dick Van Dyke show, he must be rolling in it. LOL

[@edryba4867]

Back then, nobody dreamed that all the channels we have now would ever exist. TV performer contracts were such that even the star of a series, like Mr. Van Dyke, only got paid for a VERY limited number of re-runs of any series work they had done. Most TV actors in the 1960s were only paid for the first 4 or 5 times any episode was re-run on TV. After that, the actor got NOTHING unless it was specifically spelled out in that individual actor’s contract that he or she WOULD be paid a given amount of money for a given number of re-runs of episodes of a series. Most people have NO CLUE about how much or how little actors make.

[@ddavenpAZ]

Interesting video! I really enjoyed that on stage, facing the audience shot of Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke. Plus the magic 8 ball! Never knew when it was originally made, but cool to see it in this video. Also loved the way you said Mary Poppings, instead of Mary Poppins. Made me smile. 😁 As for the salary, DVD was very clever. As was Bill Frawley back in his day. But we shouldn’t focus so much on who got paid what, but more on the performance each actor gave to earn not only that money, but to earn the hearts of the viewing audience. That in itself is not an easy task as you should know, being a YT professional yourself. Great video all around. Good work! 👍🏻

[@ExtremeBeatlesArchive]

He was also in a mid-life crisis movie called Bye Bye Thirty.

[@joannelynnepettigrew2277]

Wow! I'm hooked! I really enjoyed this. Now I have plans for tonight: hot cocoa, my cat Kaholo and binge the rest of your treasures!! Btw- I'm a Trekkie, any plans?! Thank you so much for the entertainment!!👍

[@joeyg2860]

What is the source of this information ? Public corporation data, probate matters, or perhaps someone’s coast to coast big mouth ?

[@theastewart6721]

Very interesting Rick. As he’s still very much alive this was a very smart move on his part! Love the show. Still watch it. Thanks for another great video!😊

[@questfortruth665]

He made out well, but considering the cast of FRIENDS, at the end of their run, were each making $1million per episode, I'd say he was way ahead of the times!

[@Steven-e2g]

My favorite comedy of all time.

[@gailwatson4927]

Thank you for the information, Rick

[@bryanhenderson8807]

Hey, Rick, enjoyed your video. Dick Van Dyke was one of my favorites when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I think his brother Jerry was overshadowed by him. I think in many ways he was more talented. It's great that Mary Tyler More became highly successful after the show was over, with her own production company. A bit of trivia, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was authored by James Bond author Ian Fleming.

[@cee8mee]

He's worth every penny. National treasure.

This is a very interesting video. I enjoy facts and learning things, Thank you for a great video keep it up

[@davidwebb3407]

Calvada ended up being a bit of an Easter egg for the show. It was the name of a guest character in one episode, and in another it was on a billboard as the name of a drink.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

During the final season of "Dennis the Menace," Jay North was earning $3,500 per episode. Not bad for an 11 year old.

[@ricknineg]

He was making bank!

[@kens32052]

He is 98 and still getting royalties? lol.

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

Thumbs UP.

[@felipeescamilla3092]

Very smart 👌. Great Actor, always have enjoyed him in all his movies, also love his brother Very funny.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

I'm really impressed with Dick's busines sense. I'm sure he had similar contracts with his subsequent shows: The New DVD Show, VD and Co., the failed sitcom he did with his son, Barry and of course, Diagnosis Murder..

[@MicahThomason]

I have a joke that is inappropriate for this channel. But, the punchline is, "Have you ever heard of Dick Van Dyke?". 🤣😅🤪

[@KevinMiller-xn5vu]

Not as much money as he'd make today.

[@georgealexander7976]

Today he needs it to take care of that young wife!

[@jesusisunstoppable4438]

So you gave yourself a thumbs up for a absolutely ignorant comment??

[@josephosheavideos3992]

In addition to the money he deservedly receives from The Dick Van Dyke Show, he receives residuals from Diagnosis Murder as well as from the movies he made (i.e. Mary Poppins). This legend indeed is getting his due.

[@buzzyiswhat1508]

Good content, Rick. I’m surprised this financial deal didn’t strain relationships with his co-stars in subsequent years (who received little to no compensation).

[@randytim512]

Very smart contract indeed. I loved this show and occasionally catch a rerun. The show was well written and the cast was suberb. Thanks for this video Rick.

[@dawoool]

Now we know where Big Max Calvada's name came from!

[@cadeevans4623]

Didn't know how much money he made Rick love this classic show one of my favs thanks for sharing

[@al007italia]

I learned several years ago what Calvada stood for. But I am sure a lot of your listeners didn't. Van Dyke got a good deal, for sure.

I have watched this entire series over 15 times over. I watch minimum 4 a week. Love love love this show.

In one episode Harold Brauer appears he was a supporting players in a bunch of 3 stooges shorts 😀

The video does not say how much he receives - only reports his first year per show payment and that he received an unstated ownership percentage.

I heard that at a certain point, he was paid in walnuts.

[@jayhamilton2915]

So this was a video that was basically asking the question, not telling us how much he made.

[@secretchannel4747]

1500 bucks an episode, plus residuals he collects to this day.

[@jayhamilton2915]

@@secretchannel4747 How👏were👏the👏residuals👏? Without that number, the title should be, we know he made this much plus residuals.

[@bejoyful]

I found Mary Tyler Moore the delight of the show; never fond of Van Dyke's comedic style.
