Akin to I Like Lucy, but featuring more docile and less eccentric characters, the show became a mainstay in the top 10 Nielsen ratings for its first four seasons. When the show’s ratings slipped in the fifth season, the network cancelled the show. But in the four decades since, The Dick Van Dyke Show has nonstop to entertain its fans and their children (and their children’s children) via syndicated re-runs The Dick Van Dyke Show is centered around the life of Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke), a family man living in suburban New York. As the head writer for the fictional Alan Brady Show, he works with co-writers Buddy Sorrell (Morey Amsterdam) and Sally Rogers (Rose Marie). Rob’s work life is always fascinating given Buddy’s constant wisecracks, Sally’s by no means-ending search for a husband, and the trio’s unified harassment of Alan Brady’s brother-in-law, Mel Cooley (Richard Deacon). At home, Rob’s loving yet overly-nervous wife Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) stays at home with the couple’s son Ritchie (Larry Mathews). Surrounded by all these unique characters, Rob is always embroiled in someone’s scheme, fantasy, or shenanigan The Dick Van Dyke Show (Season 4) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes counting the season premiere My Two Show-Offs and Me in which Rob, Buddy, and Sally are interviewed as part of a magazine article on the Alan Brady Show Other notable episodes from Season 4 include Four and a Half in which Rob tells the report of how he and Laura met Lyle Delp (played by Don Rickles), and The Impractical Joke in which Buddy thinks that an IRS visit is part of a practical joke by Rob Not more than is a list of episodes included on The Dick Van Dyke Show (Season 4) DVD: Episode 95 (My Two Show-Offs and Me) Episode 96 (My Mother Can Beat Up My Father) Episode 97 (The Ghost of A.
