    As kids we would try to guess which show opening they would use, where Dick trips over the ottoman or side steps it.

    Thereโ€™s a third one too, itโ€™s only in one episode. I donโ€™t recall how it differs but I learned about it when I was watching reruns on Nick at night as a kid. I remember catching it one night and got so excited to have witnessed it.

    I love that we are celebrating him like this while heโ€™s still around to see how much his work mattered to so many.

    Mary Tyler Moore was the mom everyone wished was theirs.

    She was perfect. Tall, which made him not look so tall, and a great foil for his physical comedy, offering a fair bit herself. Gorgeous.

    As much as I love his physicality, my favorite thing about him is his impeccable timing. He knows EXACTLY when to pull the trigger on a gag.

    One year, when I lost my job, I took a "Summer of George", and watched this show. I loved every minute of it. So hilarious and MTM, wow! So gorgeous in this series.

    Iโ€™m pretty sure that all or nearly all of this was just one show The Dick Van Dyke Show! But maybe you saw him in Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or perhaps Bye Bye Birdie.

    Greatest entertainer period. I ran into him in an airport garage and he was just plane old kind and unassuming. Drove his own rental.

    What?! I was born and raised in West Plains MO and never knew he was also born there!

    I knew about preacher Roe, but only because one of the main roads was named after him ๐Ÿ˜… but there was was no Dick Van Dyke Blvd in town.

    You really do learn something new everyday!

    Back when comedy was talented performers not just actors with one liners that often include insults and profanity.
