That's the enduring appeal of The Dick Van Dyke Show. It has a joy and energy that makes you feel good about your world, the future, each other. There's nothing Cold War about the series, it's all New Frontier. Go to Full Review Jeremiah Massengale PopMatters 09/05/2018
8/10
It didn't spend every scene painfully setting up a punch line; it captured the emotional rollercoaster of everyday life but through the conversations and actions of naturally amusing, likeable people. Go to Full Review Stuart Galbraith DVDTalk.com 09/05/2018
5/5
Though [Reiner and Van Dyke] may have been preoccupied with these and other matters, the cast and crew of The Dick Van Dyke Show still came up with many terrific episodes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
