Thanks for uploading. It was a delight to watch

[PattiP55]

JR, that's my favorite part also! when Rob makes fun of Laura! 

[SEVFEST]

This is when Entertainment was real Enterteinment

[JR1960actor]

Sylvia Lewis, huh? For years, I've wondered if it could be Dick's Bye-bye Birdie co-star and broadway legend Chita Rivera. Oh well.

Actually, my favorite part is when Rob teases Laura by telling her that Lewis's talent is just a trick. 'When you sing great and dance great people are going to think you have talent. But take all that great singing and dancing, what's left? Nothing but that haunting beauty.' Very funny.

[JR1960actor]

@JR1960actor I'm sorry, it should be 'take away all that great singing and dancing'. Hey, it's late and I just did two shows in a local theatre production.

Mary Tyler Moore was amazing! 

[JayFoxFire]

lol love van dyke!

[clintonearlwalker]

The don't make television like this anymore. Back in those days many of the people on TV actually had talent.

[jgman81]

@clintonearlwalker That statement can be made about music, but NOT TV

[clintonearlwalker]

@jgman81 Are you kidding? Modern television is absolute crap. 10 minutes of commercials every half hour with commercials popping up during the programs also. No talent hacks re hash old plots from the 1950's simply to try to make money. The people in this vid produced an outstanding program every single week for years. I just seen a commercial 10 minutes ago for "the hot new program" it was Hawaii 5-0. I watched that show in 1960's and 70's.

[jgman81]

@clintonearlwalker I'm sure there were bad programs in geezer time too, but you must not watch The Office or 30 Rock because those are both EXCELLENT modern shows.

[clintonearlwalker]

@jgman81 The were bad programs back then, but there were also good programs. I've never even heard of the office or 30 rock.

[chumshot1]

@jgman81 LOL yeah, I'm a teenager and I can appreciate both those shows and shows like Dick Van Dyke and Jack Benny

[CanTake8]

@chumshot1 I just turned 50 on Monday and you are a teen hero: It's nice to know there is more coming up than teens only playing video games and watching MTV.

[chumshot1]

@CanTake8 Oh thank you!!! Yeah, it's actually cool online because I've met a bunch of kids who watch retro shows as well as myself :D!!!! This is probably due to the awesome programming of RTV and TVland

[BriannaAlexia]

@chumshot1 I love TVland!!!:)

[chumshot1]

@BriannaAlexia lol TVland is great, but I pretty much ONLY watch RTV due to the fact that my cable is gone, and because RTV has a lot of new retro shows I've grown to love, that TVland never showed before!!

[BriannaAlexia]

@chumshot1 Oh, well I have never heard of RTV, i'll have to check it out!

[chumshot1]

@BriannaAlexia You hav to!!! It is awesome. It's got so many new old shows I've become attached to :D

[redfordforpresident]

@clintonearlwalker The post-Roswell era -- those friendly visitors brought us genius DNA. Those alien probes are to show humans the horror of meat thermometers in turkeys, et cetera. Alien breeders? Bring it on. Homo sapiens need all the help they can get. Why wouldn't humans want some breeding with the super-intelligent forces that can traverse the universe?

[MyVagary]

Boy, what an American treasure. So many actors "back in the day" were quadruple threats: sing, dance, act, more.

[SesheniAda]

that was awesome

[DnlSquires]

MeredithOD, you'll have to watch the full episode to get context.

[MeredithOD]

Does anyone else feel like this is supposed to simulate a 3some?

[crotchbat]

GO HAWKS

[2chocoholics]

Best actor of all time!!

[nicknorthable]

Dick VanDyke's dancing can only be compaired to the great Fred Astaire....& I love it when the beautiful Mary TylerMoore looks at the camera 1:19 & 1:58..Always had such a crush on her...& this show is an old friend...Forever....*

[deepsix7]

Laura aka Mary Tyler Moore was sweet....played the dutiful wifey to a tee.....remember the censors back then..separate beds....whenver Rob had 1 foot on the floor, that was a signal that he hit that ass the night B4....cool!

[csebrigh]

@deepsix7 you're funny..

[philraso]

Wow. Their living room ceiling must be 20 feet high!

[csebrigh]

the great Mary Tyler Moore.....

[yonkel]

2:01 - 2:08 cracks me up every time!

[Juliaflo]

The Doodling Song was popular during the early 1960's and was recordied by Norma Delores Egstrom---Peggy Lee to you.

[SueBeaWho]

OMg omg WOW WOW sorry i do not know what to say that was soooooo coool!!!!

[nahkea]

whats da name of this episode

[meghan428]

whos that other person?

[trinasp]

I believe her name is Sylvia Lewis.

[flamingvans]

Right. In the episode, for a community talent show Rob has to choose between his very talented wife and the very talented non-English speaking lady played by Lewis. Of course, he chooses them both. And Lewis's character sure learned English in a hurry;-)
