Movie Reviews of The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season Two (5 Disc Box Set)
Movie Review: The Genius of Simplicity
Summary: 5 Stars
The Dick Van Dyke Show is about a married couple with a young child. The husband is a comedy writer for a variety show and the family lives in New Rochelle, NY. A simple situation for the most entertaining of shows. No gimmicks and pretty ordinary people especially at a time when shows were turning to Beverly Hillbillies etc. The extraordinary talent of the writers, creators and actors of the show makes this one special. All were able to sing, dance and entertain beautifully. The second season contains "It May Look Like a Walnut" - a parody of the sci fi films of the time and "All About Eavesdropping" in which the Petries hear their neighbors talking about them via a baby monitor their kids were playing with. The Secret Life of Buddy and Sally entertains with a great variety show. A great show and wonderful cast.
Summary of The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season Two (5 Disc Box Set)
Studio: Image Entertainment Release Date: 05/01/2007 Run time: 744 minutes Rating: NrIt'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
