Mary Tyler Moore - The Dick Van Dyke years

[@calm1047]

As a black man that was Richie's age during this show I didn't appreciate it the way I do know. In my 30's I saw the episode with the black couple and it brought tears to my eyes.

[@docadams7099]

Well, all I can say is that Mary Tyler Moore "turned the world on with her smile" and that she "made it after all". She was terrific in this show and in her own comedy; both shows are classics. She inspired millions with her frankness about diabetes. I'm a diabetic myself, and she "pointed the way" for me in my own journey. She made it to 80 with this illness; I found that I have this condition when I was 26 and, in light of her example, I made up my mind to live with this illness for 50 years and reach the age of 76. Right now I'm 56. Mary gave so much of herself to help and encourage others. She lives on in our hearts.

[@janjackson7732]

May your best years be in front of you! Have you read the book she authored about her journey with juvenile diabetes? It was terrific. Blessing to you!

[@davidspungen1302]

Mary Tyler Moore turned us all on with that smile!

Mr. Van Dyke is an American treasure. I grew up in the 60s watching The Dick Van Dyke Show, and 50 years later, I’m still watching. In 2021, the only cast members are Mr. Van Dyke and Larry Matthews. ❤️

Strange, because he was an alcoholic for years.

@@deejo1823 He'd probably correct you and say 'he still is.' Semantics, I know, but I think that's how folks in recovery frame it.

I just started watching this show and I really like. What I'm fascinated by is the fact that she was only about 25 years old when she started playing the character and today most 25 year old actresses would probably be playing high school kids instead of married housewives with kids.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS OF ALL TIME !!!

[@carlagarrett3244]

beautiful times beautiful people that enriched our lives with many laughs.

[@julenepegher6999]

I loved this show, I would walk home from school for lunch, after we ate me and my two sisters would watch this then walk back to school.

[@italishgirl5601]

She was absolutely stunning and incredibly talented!

[@TDog14126]

Whenever I would see reruns of this show, I also thought they were married...amazing chemistry.

[@cindydott452]

I loved how when Mr Peters walked in, he could hardly keep a straight face as he anticipated the reaction.

[@TennesseeMelanie]

Laura and Rob were the perfect television couple.

[@pamelamays4186]

The "That's My Boy?" episode was done with good taste.

[@RsJaneP]

Interesting fact: Mary Tyler Moore’s first [real life] husband was named Dick, and their son, was named Richie

[@michaelboyce9373]

The laugh is the longest laugh in Television History! They edited it down to two minutes.

[@MidwestGirl]

Every little girl in the 60s wanted to grow up to be Laura Petrie.

[@junetrumpower7723]

I know I sure did!

[@anniefannycharles9951]

You're right. And I thought everyone's marriage was supposed to be like theirs.

[@karenrich9092]

I truly believed Dick Van Dyke had 2 wives. One was Mary Tyler Moore and the other was Julie Andrews ("Mary Poppins"). He was great with both of them.

[@Wonderpattypatty]

IMO, Mary Tyler Moore and costar from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

[@kevinjones5429]

The funniest show ever!!😂😂🤣🤣♥️♥️

[@mstewart61]

Mary was the breakout star. Her part on the show was originally to be a small part. Thanks to the episode My Blonde Haired Brunette where she shined her part grew. She was the unofficial leading actress on the show. Originally Rose Marie was the lead actress and it led to tension between her and Mary. Funny thing was Mary still had last billington the show. And Mary Tyler Moore. Mary's scenes with Millie was priceless. I wish they could had more scenes together.

[@sandybiltz9394]

I've always adored the "Dick Van Dyke Show" Grew up with this. Sadly I can only find season one on DVD. Love to have the whole series on disc.!!

[@sarahfullerton6894]

It's on Decades TV, nightly, if you can get it in your area.

[@Camrynn.ol14]

The entire series is on Hulu! That’s how I watch it🤍

[@bobwitkowski6410]

Mary Tyler Moore is part of my definition of hot.

[@hansvangelder]

One of the best comedians from the US, on Danny Kaye level!

[@ferengiprofiteer9145]

Hi praise! Don't think Kaye gets the recognition he deserves here in the US.🤠👍

[@melissae1116]

Thank goodness they did it.

[@necessaryvolitio]

Best looking woman on tv ever.

[@RogerPeet]

I was going to marry Mary, but we never met.

[@44032]

It's rare to see someone so glamorously beautiful who is also possessed with great comic talent. I think normally when you are that good looking you don't need to make people laugh to get them to relate to you.

[@sophiaako7663]

Super disagree. When a woman is beautiful, people think that she has achieved her goal as a female and cannot be very smart or clever or funny. The more beautiful and attractive she is, the less of a person she becomes and the more she becomes something to possess or a threat to be jealous of. The thing is, there's no correlation between looks and smarts/humour, because humans are not single-dimensional Sims characters. This is indisputable and obvious. What you're noticing is that the prettier a woman is, the less anyone around her thinks her mind matters.

[@44032]

@@sophiaako7663 I think attractive people don't really have to use their comic skills to connect with others in the way less attractive people might have to so their talent in that area remains hidden until they get into show business. MTM went from "Happy Hotpoint" and "Sam" to Laura Petrie and comic skill people didn't know she had was revealed.

Second is Tonight Show's Ed Ames' Tomahawk throw!

[@RanaDesuky]

Wait I don’t understand 0:24 “you know that these people had sex” Was it taboo for couples to openly say that they’re in a sexual relationship back then? or did people just not expect them to have sex at all?

[@davidspungen1302]

it was TV Taboo... one reason that TV couples' bedrooms all had twin beds.

[@cindydott452]

That thumbnail looked strange to me, until I realized what was wrong. They were outside! I don't think I ever saw Dick and Laura Petri outside!

[@davidspungen1302]

pretty certain this was a staged PR photo meant to emphasize their on-screen chemistry!

@@davidspungen1302 It looks strange after never seeing an outside shot in the whole show! 😎

Its just heartbreaking that our once-beloved Dick Van Dyke has chosen to damage his Legacy so late in life by openly admitting he's a pro-Bernie Sanders Socialist.💔😔💔

[@davidspungen1302]

what is really hearbreaking is using this forum to politicize a video that simply meant to celebrate someone who had such a positive impact on so many lives!

[@tnate6004]

What damage? It's not like he came out as a conservative brownshirt or Trump trash. Mr. Van Dyke is a tv legend.

[@brandonk8948]

Also, voted for Biden in the end, had a singing promotional video for him. Sick

[@anniefannycharles9951]

Go away party pooper.

[@TheJackflash85]

Oh shut up! Millions of Americans are Sanders Supporters. Mr. Van Dyke has a right to his opinion just like any other American. Ya' know, just like you spouted off! and posted it here. Dick Van Dyke hasn't hurt his legacy. The body of his work is what will be remembered.
