What is your all-time favorite episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show and why?

Morbius53 · 06-21-2000, 05:42 PM

"It May Look Like a Walnut" (I think that's the proper title), a wonderful sendup of one of my other favorite programs, The Twilight Zone, and the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The scene with Laura sliding down the cascading walnuts is a classic.

The one where Richie discovers his middle name is Rosebud-and Rob explains why.The revelation that it was an acronym is a classic,and there was a slight reference to Citizen Kane after all!

My favorite episodes are It May Look like a Walnut and the one when Rob thinks he is going bald and Never Bath on Saturday.

Tough to make a choice, but I'd say my favourites are "Ghost of a Chantz", "Offensive, Egotistical, Etc." and "Uhny Uhtz". Hope I got the names right! There were so many that were absolutely great.

It's the one where Laura gets her big toe stuck in the bathtub faucet -- funny! It's the only time you ever see her toes, I think. She sometimes walks around barefoot in the bedroom, though.

That would definitely have to be "Racy Tracy Rattigan." Richard Dawson just cracks me up! The scene at Rob's house when Tracy is flirting with Laura, then Rob pours champagne over his head is priceless. It was just on an hour ago and I was so happy!!

I love 'Never Bath on Saturday' and 'Where did I Come From?' the scene when buddy takes off his pants is hilarious!

THE HAUNTED CABIN EPISODE. SO FUNNY!

My favorite episode is the two-parter where we get to see what happened on their honeymoon. Allan Melvin was in this one.

My favorite epsiode is "It May Look Like A Walnut" but I also love the episodes where Mary and Dick sing and dance!!!!

Christine0079 · 05-02-2001, 10:08 PM

Callmetootie, I didn't remember that one being a two-parter.

"Obnoxious, Offensive, Egomaniac,"
"The Return Of Happy Spangler"

I love Ghost of A Chantz and Offensive, Egomaniac etc. but my real favorite, for whatever reason, has always been The Great Petrie Fortune where Rob and Laura find a photograph of Abraham Lincoln in the old roll top desk Rob's great uncle left him. There are some very funny lines and great dialogue in the episode.

Oh God...so many to choose from!! Here are my faves: "Coast to Coast Big Mouth" "Laura's Little Lie" "Curse of the Petrie People" "Bank Book" "My Blonde-Haired Brunette" "Curious Thing About Women" The list really goes on and on! LOL Basically, I tend to prefer the domestic episodes of the series to the more office centered ones (No offense to Rose Marie, Morey Amsterdam or Richard Deacon!) It just happens I'm a Mary fanatic!! LOL
