Every Time Dick Van Dyke Came Home

Mary!

If Chevy Chase had only seen those episodes, he would not have back problems from his untrained pratfalls as Gerald Ford in his Saturday Night Live days, says Dick Van Dyke.

Buck would have never fallen over the ottoman.

He was kinda hot in those days. Well fitted suits. Well groomed. His nose should be on that other thread about masculine noses

I might be mistaken, but I remember reading that DvD did end up with back problems from doing this.

Is there a Sons Much Hotter than Their Dads thread, r4?

Imagine coming home and sitting in your living room are the two people you just spent 8 hours with? I'd be upset.

He is not hotter. They are a completely different kinds of pulchritude. This guy should be on a horse smoking a Marlboro in jeans and a plaid shirt. DvD was a total metrosexual--beautiful suits, beautiful figure, beautiful hair, plus a great personality.

I'm a lesbo, but I have to admit that DvD was one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen.

As a child I was terribly traumatized by Laura's eyes in the back of her head.

Pain and humiliation were frequent and welcome visitors to the Petrie household.

Does anybody know what The Broadway Gold Rush Twins' book was about?

R10 I remember that clever photo. They both looked pretty amazing for their ages at that time, even with that lighting and retouching. They were hot shits to pose like this at their ages, too. It’s pretty cool.

r1

I think you mean laura

R13, no, I meant Mary.

OP used the actor’s name, not the character’s.

....

60s dancing was so weird.

Drive the kids to school

Dig a swimming pool

Not compared to the 50s, R16...

And Laura was traumatized by what that week's guest star had left on the glass coffee table.

That's why I didn't

r16

He did it perfect EVERY time!!!

R18, touche. Geez, MTM was given a lot of garbage.

R20, but you know the flappers were having more fun than anyone in capri pants.

[quote] 60s dancing was so weird.

Hot dogs made some people lose control.

And they also lost their mind when cousins were two of a kind.

me too, OP. me too.

Mary was a fabulous dancer.....

Remember when he navigated past the ottoman only to trip on the car

You do realize he didn't recreate it for each episode, right?

Was it a stunt double then? How did they find someone who looked just like Dick?

I worry about Dick. I think about Dick a lot. I hold onto Dick as much as I can.

Family Guy's take on it:

I love you, R29!

r31 If the animators took that much trouble to animate the scene they might have taken two seconds to get the kitchen layout right.

OP deserves an award Fucking love you, man!
