The Dick Van Dyke Show Collection (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a funny show, one of the best. Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore (Oh Rob) were a great team. And they had two especially good minor characters played by Morey Amsterdam and Rosemary. These were the days of 'healthy clean' humor, done with real intelligence and taste.
