2011 will be the 50th Anniversary! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ddenoff · 11-06-2010, 07:07 PM

Can you believe it?? I sure can't. October 3, 1961 was the airdate of the first episode. I'm working on several ideas in celebration of the Anniversary, including a possible TV special, and hopefully a commemorative re-release of the 5-season DVD set with some new special material, hopefully to include Dick Van Dyke and the Other Woman and other treasures!

In the meantime, if you're in LA between December 8, 2010 and January 16, 2011, SEE DICK'S ONE-MAN SHOW, "Step In Time" at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood, CA. It promises to be an amazing event.

50 years wow! That is certainly worthy of celebration! I hope all your plans to commemorate the ocassion come to fruition. TDVDS was one the best TV shows ever and dereveres to be celebrated!!

Awesome news, I was just thinking about how next year will be the 50th anniversary of DVD! Looking forward to some new goodies, but I hope that if anything special with new bonus material is released that an option of just buying that material is made for fans who already have the complete set and can't afford to repurchase again. Unless, of course, the series is remastered for Blu Ray!!!

yep; it sure is one of the best shows ever!!! It's the only series where I plan to buy all 5 seasons on DVD!!! All the episodes are so good; not 1 cluncker in it's entire run!!

(no, I take that back-I didn't like "THE BAD OLD DAYS" from season 1, also a couple parts of season 3s "THE ALAN BRADY SHOW PRESENTS")

The "worst" episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show are still better than the "best" of almost all TV series!

Exactly!!

Nice!

50 years... wow. Amazing!

I'd also prefer if these new features were released as a separate DVD, but if I had to, I'd buy the s5 box set again just for them. Having a good quality copy of 'Dick Van Dyke and the Other Woman' is a MUST.

They should also offer their reunion special on dvd to celebrate the anniversary.

The pilot was filmed 50 years ago this Thursday, on JFK's Inauguration Day.

Thats cool! 50 years and it is still better then any show on tv.

Alphanumeric · 01-27-2011, 07:25 PM

There really ought to be a reunion special! I really liked the "Revisited" special in 2004.

Hard to believe it's been 50 years, but the humor holds up beautifully today, and will forever!
Bravo to all those who had a part in it!!!!
