Considered to be one of television's classics, "The Dick Van Dyke Show" centers on the personal and professional lives Rob Petrie, a writer on the fictional Alan Brady Show. He's happily married to former dancer Laura, and they have a young son, Ritchie. The plots generally revolve around problems at work -- where Rob got into various comedic jams with fellow writers Buddy Sorrell, Sally Rogers and producer Mel Cooley -- or at home.

Rob's younger brother involves Sally Rogers in a romantic Waterloo.

Rob fears he is no longer needed when his co-writers turn out a show without his help.

Stacey (Jerry Van Dyke) saves both his coffeehouse and his romance.

Rob invites 44 fellow PTA members to his television show, but he forgets to get the tickets.
