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 learns Laura has a secret bank account.

At the insistence of a domineering guest star, Rob takes over as producer of "The Alan Brady Show."

Rob's and Laura's parents compete for the couple's favor in the choice of which family plot to be buried in.

Laura's plans for a quiet weekend in the country are spoiled when Buddy convinces Rob to take care of his German shepherd.
