10 Details You Missed on The Dick Van Dyke Show

The Dick Van Dyke Show was an American sitcom that first aired on October 1st, 1961. Five seasons and 158 episodes later, it finished its series finale on June 1st, 1966. Long after its debut, however, it still had plenty of influence. In 1997, two of the show's episodes were ranked as numbers 8 and 15 on TV Guide's list of the 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. Furthermore, TV Guide also ranked the series as number 13 out of the 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time.

The show was created by Carl Reiner, who wanted to use his experience as a comedy writer to create a sitcom. Originally, Carl Reiner played the main character in the pilot, which aired in 1960 and was originally entitled Head of the Family, but it was unsuccessful. As a result, Carl Reiner sought out accomplished comedic actor Dick Van Dyke to play the role. Dick Van Dyke's experience on both radio shows and Broadway gave him the talent needed to play the main character of the show, and it eventually helped him gain even more fame as a movie star.

Dick Van Dyke played the character Rob Petrie, a television comedy writer. Half of the show focused on Rob's home life, but the other half was spent working in an office. This made the show one of the earliest examples of a sitcom that took place in an office. Later, the setting would go on to inspire many other famous sitcoms that also took place in a work setting, including The Office and Parks and Rec.

While only half of the show was spent in Rob Petrie's office, it's clear that the production team and design crew spent a lot of time on every detail of the setting. A combination of Dick Van Dyke's comedic antics and the extremely detailed set makes it impossible for any viewer to get bored during the show!
