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 helps his boss, Alan Brady, by rewriting a play starring the comic.

Rob invites 44 fellow PTA members to his television show, but he forgets to get the tickets.

Rob stays awake for 100 hours just before his job interview with Alan Brady.

Rob proudly presents Laura with a huge, horrible necklace, but she can't bring herself to tell him it is ugly.
