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 crippled jeep and a sprained ankle make Rob two hours late for his own wedding.

Rob talks Laura into leaving their sick son with a babysitter while they go to a party at Alan Brady's penthouse.

Laura turns herself into a blonde femme fatale when she fears the romance in her marriage is fading.

Laura matches her pharmacist cousin with Rob's co-writer, Sally, for a dinner party with disastrous results.
