Premise:
The Dick Van Dyke Show premiered on CBS on October 3, 1961. The classic hip series is about a family named the Petries.
Rob Petrie writes for a television comedy show called 'The Alan Brady Show', along with his friends Sally and Buddy.
Laura Petrie stays at home and raises their son Ritchie. The series often showed Rob, Sally, and Buddy at work and all
the silly things that went on during the writing of the show. Laura and Rob went about their daily life with their friends,
work, and family. Laura usually did something that she thought would get her in trouble with Rob, and then would say
"Oh Rooooob". This is one of the classic shows that invented hip television.

Director of Photography, Robert deGrasse A.S.C. / Music by Earle Hagen
