CBS To Air Colorized Classic Episodes of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" during Holiday Frame
by Denise Petski
November 17, 2016

"The Dick Van Dyke Show" is coming back to TV in living color. CBS, which colorized episodes of "I Love Lucy" during the holidays and last May’s sweep, is using the same strategy with the classic 1960s series.

The episodes “That’s My Boy??” and “Coast to Coast Big Mouth” will air back-to-back beginning at 8 PM on Sunday, December 11 on CBS.

Those are two of the funniest episodes in the TDVDS cannon. Although I love this show in its original black and white it will be fun to see these two classic episodes in color!

Good news.

That should be fun and I'll be looking forward to it. Even though I prefer the original format for regular viewing, I've really enjoyed when CBS colorizes their older shows as holiday specials. Hopefully they keep it up for years to come.

So it's Christmas & CBS is not airing colorized "The Alan Brady Show Presents"

They should have colorized The Honeymooners "'Twas The Night Before Christmas" and saved DVD for the spring.

Yeah, it looked like that Christmas ep. of the DVD show would be one of the colorized eps. in Dec., but it's not.

I'm not a real big fan of TDVDS but I will be watching this simply because there's nothing else on TV that's worth watching.

PhoenixAcres · 12-03-2016, 08:54 PM

It is strange they're not showing the Christmas episode. It can't be a music rights issue or anything because I remember MeTV showing it a while back.

I would love for CBS to colorize and release the entire D.Van Dyke Show onto a beautiful big colorized set! Now that's a Christmas wish.

But as for the measly colorized sample we've got coming, really the Christmas episode has always been one of the weakest examples of the D.V.Dyke Show. I still want to see it as part of the Complete Colorized D.V.Dyke Show DVD set, but I'm happy with the itty bit of color Dick coming.

I'm also looking forward to it. I was against colorizing black-and -white shows but now I'm not since I read the reason they do it. (it's because parents want to expose their kids to these shows but most kids won't watch them because they're in black-and-white.

Also with DCD Carl Reiner was in on the colorization so it should be good.

Just a reminder that "The Dick Van Dyke Show" airs in color TOMORROW NIGHT (SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11).

I heard about this and saw the advertisement when I was watching Let's Make A Deal yesterday and I think it's a very smart and ingenious idea for CBS to do and just as they did with the I Love Lucy colorized Christmas specials I think CBS will release the colorized The Dick Van Dyke Show episodes as exclusive episodes on tablet apps as well. I truly think that CBS has really outdone itself by releasing episodes of classic sitcoms in colorized versions and based on the successes of the I Love Lucy specials and now with The Dick Van Dyke Show I think more classic sitcoms will soon follow down the road for CBS
