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.

A dinner party for Rob's television sponsor and his wife is enlivened by the arrival of one of Rob's Army buddies.

Rob goes out to cool off after a quarrel with Laura and winds up in trouble.

Rob recalls the time he was out of work and Laura was expecting Ritchie.

Rob accuses his friend of taking his missing watch.
