In 2003, TV Land produced a pilot for an actual series based on The Alan Brady Show, the fictional show within The Dick Van Dyke Show. [1] [2] [3] I wasn't sure where to mention this in the article.-- 76.106.245.93 ( talk) 14:34, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
The writers seemed to be confused about Laura's maiden name: I haven't kept track of what exact episodes use which, but it's given as Meeker in Oh, How We Met the Night We Danced. Paul Magnussen ( talk) 00:35, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
I just noticed that CBS is going to air some colorized versions - we may want to include that somewhere. (Ched) 2601:547:1203:1414:DD8B:DDC2:739A:85B3 ( talk) 02:56, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
Two episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show were broadcast on December 11, 2016 in a colorized version. Aside from the added color, the video quality seemed impressively sharp and perfect. Was this derived from special original sources, or generated by modern computer processing?
IMDB says The Dick Van Dyke Show was filmed in 35 mm (monochrome?). Does any of that film version survive? Are current DVD etc versions derived from film, or what?- 71.174.190.122 ( talk) 19:48, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
An editor is edit-warring to include in the "Laura Petrie" character section a description of the episode in which Laura reveals whe was underage when she and Rob got married, and that they got married in the next episode. This description has been removed by tow other editors, myself included. My reason for removing it is that every episode of the program provided character information, but we cannot include all of this information in the brief character descriptions -- if we did, they would soon become bloated. The plot also has no future implications for the character, another reason it should not be included.
Further the "we not really married and have to get re-married" plot is a staple of situation comedies, so it's hardly unique to this program. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 00:03, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Why is a colorized version of the series logo used in the infobox? The series was made and broadcast in BW and we should have a monochrome series logo, not one presumably from the altered version of the show aired as a gimmick just a few years ago. An original can easily be obtained online from one of the public domain episodes in circulation if not restored from an earlier edit of this article. 2605:8D80:400:DEAE:2930:1704:D489:1A25 ( talk) 19:51, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Season 6 Episode 15 (probably the funniest episode up till then) has Mulder and Scully posing as a very wholesome suburban couple named Rob and Laura Petrie. This might be worth putting into the Popular Culture section???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.175.171.98 ( talk) 03:27, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
The claim was been made that Carl Reiner based the character of Alan Brady on Sid Cesar. Reiner says this isn;t the case, so he refutes that claim. (To refute: to prove (a statement or theory) to be wrong or false; disprove.) Reiner is the only person who knows what his intentions were, so he is the ultimate source for knowing who he based the character on, so he proved the claim to be wrong. He did not "rebuff" it (to rebuff: to reject (someone or something) in an abrupt or ungracious manner), he refuted it. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 23:34, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
