One of the funniest episodes of the series. Alan Brady at his maniacal best. Carl Reiner was so multi-talented; acting, writing, directing. He could do it all!!!

[@Americansiciliangirl]

I watched this show since I was a kid in the 70s. Watching it now I realize what great actors Van Dyke and Tyler More were. Their timing and facial expressions and body movements. Amazing

[@poetcomic1]

Great Rob and Allan scenes. The scene with 'Vito the Tailor' marking Alan's suit is worthy of Show of Shows.

Glad YOU like Alan (you're about the only who does)!

"Buck Brown, the cowboy star?" "Hardly!" Too funny, especially for 1965.

[@joksal9108]

Before April 12, 1971, nobody made jokes like that.

The great Strother Martin, "What we've got here is failure to communicate ..."

[@saran3214]

He was the US junior diving champion in high school. He coached stars in swimming, it's how he got in show business.

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@saran3214 Thanks for that info., I had no idea! 😉

[@flwrfan1752]

The playwright Strother Martin played here reminds me of the playwright Tennessee Williams

[@epaddon]

@@flwrfan1752 That was intentional.

[@epaddon]

And coincidentally, this episode is about their failure to communicate to Strother that his play needs fixing!

Being a kid in the 90’s, that designer guy was some of the only “representation” for us fancy types I ever remember seeing that wasn’t a gross stereotype. Love that guy.

Thanks for the upload.💜

Alan is a nightmare, Carl does a good job, was a funny guy

Carrie Fisher, of Star Wars fame, was also a renowned script fixer.

So looking this up now that’s cool thanks for info .

[@jmax3245]

Good thing ..cause she was a BAD actress.

[@Americansiciliangirl]

Really?!

[@randilevson9547]

She was uncredited in that role, so as not to damage the reputations of credited screenwriters. This was a common practice in Hollywood for many years.

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

Morey Amsterdam had His own show for a while!

[@randilevson9547]

Alan Brady called his tailor, Vito Schneider. Schneider is the German word for tailor.

Did you know Dick Van Dyke campaigned for Bernie Sanders in 2019-18? He's at a rallie waiting for sanders to show up.

[@joksal9108]

Dick is a nice guy, but he’s an idiot about politics.

[@wolfgangscorpio4125]

@5:22 min. I am 100% sure the writers wrote: " You know what you are? You are a Mensch." And then the studio said: "You can't say that -- it's Yiddish."

[@dsscam]

1:39 - another continuity error. Alan's office is down 1 floor - not "up"

[@ericgcastile]

I think Carl Reiner was a comic genius.

...at about 16 minutes in,,, I came to the conclusion that,,, that the laptop computer was already in existence...

[@nutmeg208]

I realize watching this show, and its original pilot, 'Head of the Family' why Carl Reiner rarely acted, and worked mostly behind the scenes as a writer and producer. He had an angry energy that was just too much.

[@randilevson9547]

Carl was playing a character. Alan Brady was angry, not Carl.

[@nutmeg208]

@@randilevson9547 That's what I meant. But all of his characters and his writing was angry, so I guess he was.

[@tomreedyjr3631]

I wonder how Sid Caesar felt about this show, since Alan is based on Sid...

[@rebelwalzt]

Thats what is read on Wikki. But I remember seeing on Documentry Allen Brady was based on Steve Allen. Which makes sence to me. From the name to the late night spot to the NYC studio.

I don’t think the “ U” in Pulitzer was palatalized.

It isn't -- Rob doesn't say it palatalised, though. What do you mean?
