TDVDS may be off the air for the first time in 45 years, but it'll long be a part of our culture.
A friend sent me this comic panel.

That was cute. Thanks for sharing. :) I'm sorry that TDVDS isn't on tv anymore. I'm glad that it has made such a wonderful impression on everyone young and old.

Here's a short, interesting article in which the author transposes Rob into the 21st century:

Today's technology on yesterday's shows

One day, while sitting around the palatial TV Squad offices, a notion came to mind. What would happen if you took all of today's technology and applied it to classic television shows of yesteryear?
The Dick Van Dyke Show: No more schlepping into the city for Rob Petrie; not when he could write his scripts from his home desktop computer. And, if he got tired sitting at his desk, he could grab his WiFi laptop and continue to write from the local Starbucks. He would still need Buddy and Sally, of course, but he could pass ideas to them via Instant Messenger. When they were all done with that week's script they could have a video conference with Alan where changes could be made via NetMeeting.

Perish the thought!! Rob Petrie a la George Jetson?! Yuck!

:eek:

Looking back, I don't know how I survived the 60s, 70s and 80s without Internet access!

No, not Laura Petrie!!!

you know; it may seem out of place to have Rob, Buddy & Sally writing the scripts on a computer, but if the show was done today they would probably have Rob doing it; at least. Remember in the reunion he liked fooling around on a home computer? And I've heard that in real life Dick also likes to, a lot of times.

Anybody see a familiar hairstyle in this 1969 print ad from Loreal?
I wonder where they got it?
