The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season 4, Episode 12 - The Death of the Party - Full Episode

[@Kinziesroom]

103 temperature is no joke. Also, love Laura's outfit at the party. Stunning.

[@KaidaLis]

I genuinely love every character in this show. Not every episode or every iteration of them, but I love who they are as characters. That is incredibly rare. They just felt like real people with real lives. They dont make shows or stories this way anymore. Acting has changed a lot too, but they didnt make many like this then either so...

I cut Laura a lot of slack. Rob and Carl Reiner won't let her get a job. The church leagues won't let her wear capri pants too often, and some viewers hate that she gets upset and her voice rises in pitch. (Isn't that true for us all?) While I love June Cleaver, I'm glad Laura Petrie has a range of emotions, wardrobe and aspirations. NO stepford wives on Bonnie Meadow rd.

[@ToniHunterOne]

@@MrMenefrego1 Silly. That's not the point. They are supposed to be real ice cubes. You must not have the ability to suspend your disbelief. Shame that. You miss a lot of fun. I agree with Diana, when I watch a scene where the character is about to do something like Rob did, I "hold my breath" and then say a quiet "yuck". What would have made the scene funnier is if Rob did a double-take and looked down into the ice bucket as if he might try to pull the cubes🧊🧊 back out. 🤢

[@codym8897]

During the Wade Hayes song "The Day She Left Tulsa (In a Chevy)" (1997), it's early in the morning with damp foggy weather, and Rob (Dick Van Dyke) gets ready to go out golfing during the first verse and chorus. In the second verse, Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) woke up, telling that it's 5:00 AM in the morning. She tells Rob that he dressed, shaved, packed, and got out without waking her up. During the song's bridge and final chorus, Rob and Laura are having a conversation in the bedroom.👍

[@keouine]

When viewers say that 's how things were--regarding somewhat sexist or old fashioned story elements, it's worth noting that Sally or another character will often indicate an opposing view or statement to show even in the early to mid 60s, such ideas were becoming objectionable. I wonder as with the woke crap today, a vocal, pushy and tiny minority of complainers back then were able to sway writers and networks while the vast majority of viewers didn't give a rat's behind whether the beds were 4 ft apart. I think they couldn't let Laura have a job because it would mean expanding the show's budget and cast while stealing time from Sally/Buddy/Rob scenes. Kind of why we rarely see Pickles and why Sally can't land a man. Frankly I would have loved to see 6th, 7th and 8th seasons where Sally and Buddy had full home lives too.

[@willmorris8334]

That's kinda sad it took Laura that long to notice Rob was sick.

[@CamilleGG451]

If she had, there would be no plot.

[@93Jubilee]

She never plays a good wife to Rob.

[@anitacalloway5673]

She had 16 guests, she had to prepare for them beforehand, plus he kept perking up every time she was around. Not hard for her to miss he was sick. Not everyone looks deathly ill when they have the flu in spite of how they feel.

[@wiseguymaybe]

This is kind of a rehash of other episodes it seems. Laura upset because Rob is playing golf and has a feeling something will happen like being to tired and him getting sick and he reasures her that nothing will happen and yet he does get sick, Rob going skying and Laura has a feeling of him getting hurt on the slopes and he reasures her it will be all right, yet he does get hurt. And there are other shows, to tired to think of them now, but it seemed by the fourth seasons the writing was getting a bit stale for ideas.

[@Charles-ix5jc]

About 2 weeks ago i started watching all of then i'm up to this episode. I'm noticing there are some related to other episodes i didn't remember like that but we weren't so critical in those days. Great show

the motorcycle episode.

[@wiseguymaybe]

@@Charles-ix5jc Oddly enough, even though I might have been a bit critical about the 4th season still my favorite episode was the first one of the 4th season, where Rob trys to handle a drunk hitting on Laura and gets punched in the stomach putting him out for the count and Laura judoi flips the drunk. What happens afterwards had me rolling on the floor. I may have been a bit critical on some of the last two seasons of this show, they still had some classic episodes, so you are right about me not enjoying the show as it is. My Mother Can Beat Up Your Father still remains my favorite of all The Dick Van Dyke Show episodes.

[@paulaguenon9298]

I agree with you about Laura in this episode.

[@preetakumar6593]

Not really. She was simply warning him in the beginning. He chose to ignore said warning, and fell sick because he did. If he had listened, he wouldn't be sick in the first place. Besides, if he had told her he was ill, she would have understood, even though there might be a little 'I told you so', and she would have told her family he couldn't be there. He didn't, because he was afraid of being proven wrong - and faced the consequences.

[@kimberlytyrcha5930]

@@preetakumar6593 ...In the final scene, Laura tells Rob that the doctor said he couldn't have caught the virus on the golf course that morning and be as sick as he was that night. So, no, he didn't get sick because he ignored her warning. He was already sick when he left the house that morning to go play golf. Even if he hadn't played golf at all, he was already sick. Watch some of the other episodes like the Ballad of the Betty Lou. If Laura doesn't get her way, she's a witch to him. She pouts and won't talk to him.

[@preetakumar6593]

@@kimberlytyrcha5930 Laura is many things, a witch she certainly is not. Have you even seen the whole series? Even if he already was sick to begin with, going out and playing golf on a damp course during a fog certainly wasn't going to make him better. Besides, if he had just told her, she might have been a little smug about it but she certainly would not have forced him to be at the party. When he collapses, she immediately tends to him upon realizing he is sick. I've watched the entire series many times. In The Ballad of the Betty Lou, she was in the right as well. She told Rob he would wind up enemies with Jerry and boating wasn't his thing. She refused to speak to him because she knew he was getting himself into something that wasn't good for him on nothing but a random impulse. If you've seen that episode, you'll also have seen how concerned she was when he didn't come back, and how relieved she was when she knew that he was safe. While she does have her immature moments (so does Rob, they're humans), overall it's easy for anyone to see that she loves Rob very much and he loves her too.

[@saran3214]
