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.

The writers demand a raise and get entangled in the world of corporate finance.

Rob tries to attend Laura's family reunion without anyone finding out that he is sick.

Laura believes her marriage is threatened by a singing weather girl.

Rob wins at poker, but almost loses a few friends after inadvertently using marked cards.
