Longest Laugh - Dick Van Dyke

[@tommyt1971]

If you watch closely, you can see that Greg Morris who plays Mr Peters is trying not to laugh for real when he hands the the tray to Rob. THAT's the hallmark of a truly funny sitcom scene!

[@zanti4132]

Totally in character, however. The Greg Morris character knew full well that Rob was making a ridiculous mistake. The natural reaction would have been to try not to laugh too hard. Later on in the scene, Rob asks him sheepishly, "Why didn't you tell me over the phone?," to which he responds, "And miss the look on your face?"

This cut before the Peter’s revealed that they knew were aware of the comical mistake the whole time. Mr. peters said he wanted to see the look on Rob’s face when they showed up. That makes the scene even funnier.

From the opening episode of season three, "That's My Boy??" [September 25, 1963]; Greg Morris is the father. Executive producer Sheldon Leonard and producer Carl Reiner had to convince CBS to let them film this climax, because the network was wary of how viewers might react to the "surprise"....

I just saw this for the first time last week on CBS. It was digitally colorized.

[@dpm-jt8rj]

I hate to see production companies 'colorize' classic B&W TV shows.

Light years ahead of its time. The audience response says it all.

I heard that Dick Van Dyke didn't know who was at the door and he just as surprised.

[@WakandaBabe]

I saw the episode when it aired. Unexpecterd and very funny.

[@7775Kevin]

What a great show this was. Never missed it.

[@voiskumbeaver3285]

Is that Greg Morris off of Mission Impossible?

[@Goatboysminion]

I think this might have been the last episode of this show I ever saw. In the 70s, being rerun for the tenth time. I laughed like buggery at this. They were such a great couple. Bye Mary.
