Movie Reviews of The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season Two (5 Disc Box Set)
Movie Review: This Is A Well Crafted Show
Summary: 5 Stars
This show really knew what they were doing when it came on the air. It stood by itself by not using one liners but when they realized what Mary Tyler Moore was wearing (those slacks) everyone stood up and took notice and it was before the Liberation movement came in effect. So this show had a little bit of everything from sketches, to living at home with your wife, and the shows they would perform. This is a top-notch show.
Summary of The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season Two (5 Disc Box Set)
Trip into the living room of comedy writer Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke) along with his lovely wife Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) wisecracking co-workers and nutty neighbors. Consistently ranked among the top TV comedies of all time and renowed for its top-notch cast and stellar writing this groundbreaking series is presented fully restored and uncut! Winner of 15 Emmy Awards! All Episodes Digitally Remastered for Unsurpassed Video and Audio Quality! Each Box Set Contains Five DVDs! Eye-Catching Lenticular Packaging!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/CLASSICS UPC: 014381155822 Manufacturer No: ID1558PBDVDIt's time to acknowledge those unsung heroes, The Beverly Hillbillies, for helping to rescue The Dick Van Dyke Show, which, incredibly, was nearly canceled after its first season. Executive producer Sheldon Leonard championed the series, and CBS moved the Petries to follow the top-rated Clampetts. The rest is television history. Unlike the high-concept Hillbillies, the more sophisticated Dick Van Dyke Show's appeal was in its more grounded situations and three-dimensional characters, each of whom are given ample opportunities to shine in this second season. Son Ritchie (played by Larry Matthews) gets too attached to baby ducklings (the touching season opener "Never Name a Duck"). Sally Rogers (Rose Marie) gets engaged to an opportunistic comedian ("Jilting the Jilter"). Buddy Sorrell (Morey Amsterdam) is reunited with his black sheep brother ("Hustling the Hustler"). Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) is revealed to be the alien Lolac from Twilo (the classic "It May Look Like a Walnut," which contains the sublimely surreal line, "Danny Thomas put walnuts in my hat"). And Rob (Van Dyke) becomes a psychosomatic drunk ("My Husband Is Not a Drunk"). On the flashback front, we see how Rob proposed to Laura ("The Attempted Marriage"), dumped an old flame ("Will You Two Be My Wife?"), and was installed as head writer of The Alan Brady Show ("I Was a Teenage Head Writer"). Rob's deft and daft juggling of his glamorous career and harried home life inspires some of the best episodes, including "Somebody Has to Play Cleopatra," featuring the late Bob Crane as the neighborhood lothario, "Father of the Week," and "Ray Murdock's X-Ray," in which Rob unwittingly portrays Laura as his nutty muse. But at the heart of this series' timeless appeal is the palpable chemistry between Rob and Laura, as witness their sudden embrace at the moving conclusion of "The Square Triangle." --Donald Liebenson
