They played very well off one another. Ivan's comment made me laugh because I used to imagine "The Kid from Uncle" TV show, even before they put out "The Girl from Uncle."

I've gotten my belly laugh for the day.

Was thinking earlier today how Mary Tyler Moore had the great distinction of co-starring or starring in two of TVs most revered sitcoms. Kelsey Grammer managed a similar achievement with "Cheers" and "Frasier" - but the list is tiny.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-30693113041836652352011-10-03T19:23:37.251-04:002011-10-03T19:23:37.251-04:00When you said " (2) an inside look at show bu...When you said " (2) an inside look at show business that thinly veiled a stand-up act involving three sharp comedians.<br /><br />The Dick Van Dyke Show, came rushing back to my memory.

What a great team they were.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-2580407449787232442011-10-03T18:06:19.005-04:002011-10-03T18:06:19.005-04:00I liked this one so much, Rick, and a lot of reaso...I liked this one so much, Rick, and a lot of reason was that MTM was highlighted, and her special talents for comedic crying and stammering and being upset were just wonderful! Nobody could do that like Laura ("Ohhh Robbb!") Any woman who has ever decided to dye her hair has probably experienced something similar -- I know I did! When I was 13, after my Mother put her foot down and said NO to my desire to dye my hair a luscious auburn, I went to a girlfriend's house and ended up with pumpkin orange hair! I did not get punished - Mom said having to go to school with that hair was punishment enough!<br /><br />Great pick, Rick!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-63098479819307569572011-10-03T15:59:48.649-04:002011-10-03T15:59:48.649-04:00Rob and Laura are like Nick and Nora - you just kn...Rob and Laura are like Nick and Nora - you just know they'd be the best friends ever!Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-49144103257041641502011-10-03T13:10:26.732-04:002011-10-03T13:10:26.732-04:00The workplace atmosphere on The Dick Van Dyke Show...The workplace atmosphere on <b><i>The Dick Van Dyke Show</i></b> was always a treat (it's one of the many places on TV where it looked like punching a time clock everyday might be fun) but I'm a little like you, Rick...I always enjoyed the Petrie's domestic life a little more. It might be because Rob and Laura were such cool parents--they certainly threw some kickin' parties--and I often imagined scenarios where Richie would step off a curb (not pushed, he stepped off) only to be hit by a speeding bus...which result in the couple adopting a new son named Ivan. (You people stop looking at me like that...I can't be the only one whoever imagined this.)<br /><br />Thanks muchly for the contribution, Rick--it's always gratifying to mingle with people who are as wild about the show as I am. (That reminds me--I'm probably the only person who thought Laura was hotter as a blonde, too.)Ivan G Shreve Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067177808320053382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-28046754499156629242011-10-03T05:45:33.081-04:002011-10-03T05:45:33.081-04:00Great post, Rick!

And while it's true that Laura was not always the focus, she was one half of suburbia's most glamorous and sophisticated couple and showed us how to wear capris and flip our hair and move between the American dream of the burbs and the big city with ease and style!FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.com
