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 dreams of inheriting a fortune seem dashed when he gets an old desk.

Rob almost earns $500 because the freckles on his back are in the shape of the Liberty Bell.

Buddy is either seeking therapy or having an affair.

While out of town for a cousin's wedding, Rob has to watch a special show.
