The funniest part was watching Rob trying to figure out the intercom! 😂 I also loved Sally and Buddy’s reaction to the Paula poo routine…her acting like she owned the place, particularly Robby baby, and Sally kicking her melodrama. 🤣
Season 3 is probably my favorite season because of 3 episodes with long back and forth between the two. This one, and then, the arguing over the mystery woman with Jerry at the White Peacock and then their extended debate over Sally or Donna. I"ve great respect for writers for making such engaging scenes.
Interesting ~ the "perfume" that was "Paula's concoction" is actually Lanvin Arpege! My mother had the exact same bottle and decor label. They still sell it today!
How many younger folks know what some of the out-of-date items are in this program, like the one on Rob's desk at ~12:35, the very stylish 'mod' porcelain cigarette lighter of the period. My parents and grandparents had similar lighters. When my parents had dinner parties, it was my job to restock the cigarette boxes with Lucky Strikes and refill the cigarette lighters with fuel; I doubt if children are asked to do the same today. A few years ago, I showed my teenage niece my 1960s rotary-dial phone and asked her to show me how she thought it was used; it was hilarious watching her attempt to figure it out! Poor kid got so frustrated! 🤨
I know, my three year old niece couldn’t figure out a phone with a cord…let alone a rotary phone! Not too long ago my sister and brother in law were talking about the day someday when we might have to explain what floppy disks and CDs, or God help us, cassette tapes are to my niece. 😂 isn’t feeling ancient amazing! 😜🤣🤣🤣
I'm old enough (born in 1949) to remember a lot of everyday things from my youth and my parents' era that most people today would think are antiques or museum pieces, if they recognized them at all. Every younger generation has new stuff that supersedes the older generation's stuff. It's always been that way.
Interesting views out of the writers’ office window vs Alan’s office window. Writers’ office window (2:59): the city skyline and the tops of skyscrapers, as if they’re on a very high floor. Alan’s window (12:09): window is on same level as nearby trees as if his office is on maybe the 2nd floor. Yet in several episodes, those in the writers’ office can hear loud talk coming from Alan’s office, quite a feat if they’re 20 floors away.
I love this series, grew up with it and everyone in my opinion should be forced to watch it! Grammer would be vastly improved, and critical thought would be reborn!!
No need to; she wasn't any part of the actual comedy itself, so no need to show a person---and far less expensive to pay a voice actor than one that can be seen.
Update - Marge was actually Marjorie Taylor Greene. They thought that her looks would upstage Mary Tyler Moore, so they don’t show her. What do you think? 😂
Me, too. I watched Peter Gunn back when it was first run in prime time. I absolutely loved Lola Albright. I learned how to "smooch" watching her and Craig Stevens in their obligatory romantic interlude scenes.
@cindi.....since l e been in the theatre my whole like....actors inc children...have been taught to PROJECT ..esp in a live show....and he's smart...cuz whenever he walks upstage..he projects his voice so he's heard......if u DONT as ur walking upstage the voice gets swallowed up....he's doing exactly what the director TOLD HIM TO DO.... and it ISNT about "seeking attention".....it's called ACTING

I always disliked how much of a spineless wimp the writers made "Rob" out to be. No real man would act like that, constantly cowering down to others when he needed to stand up for himself (and his coworkers).
So true! Before I retired, I had 18 people under me doing various tasks; if I attempted to be kind and polite, they would invariably call in sick more often, take extended lunches, and simply walk all over me. On the other hand, if I was stern and adamant concerning their work and my expectations thereof, they were much more hardworking and compliant. Even with neighbors, one can't be a pushover.
It's just meant to be an endearing quality of his; he's a peacemaker and doesn't like confrontation (not all "men" do). It gives his face so much to do and it lets Laura read him the riot act in just about every episode. He gets to be all rubbery and ingratiating. I love it. And the stuttering. He's a master of it. In this one, it showed that he (initially) was putty in the hands of a woman he idolized.
@rebecca6572 It's not that she doesn't trust him. She rightfully thinks he's behaving spinelessly, allowing Mel to be kicked off simply because he won't toe the line with the egotistic lady. Even he himself agrees with her.

QUIT PLAYING WITH THOSE BUTTONS!
It shows how genius Carl Reiner was on this show. He gets huge laughs & you never even saw him.

My grand parents, and my parents, had the vety ultra modern stainless steal spin ashtray! I played with it as a kid some times! 😅😅😅
What a collage of great memories. Thanks for sharing.

I love the way the announcer says Moore. "Moo-er" rather than "more."
She DRAGGED me to 21......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OMG that intercomm is giganto!!!
The whole cast played this so well, it should have won a César. Or a César.
I bought the frosted covers from live love posh as well. How will you be decorating them?
this is a funny episode ha ha Rob 13:13
Sally (Rose Marie) is hilarious.
Good grief folks! If you don’t like the show there are many others.

@@AmandathePandaBooks I think you meant "grammar."
Originally telecast on March 11, 1964.
I’ve never seen this one.
We never got to see Marge 🥴
I like to think she is stunning and awesome
No need to; she wasn't any part of the actual comedy itself, so no need to show a person---and far less expensive to pay a voice actor than one that can be seen.
@@soswezzAll we know of her is when "Racy Tracey Rattigan" (Season 2, Episode 27, aired on Feb 26, 1963) mentions that she is blonde.
Update - Marge was actually Marjorie Taylor Greene. They thought that her looks would upstage Mary Tyler Moore, so they don’t show her. What do you think? 😂
The never seen secretary was named Marge because DVD was married to a woman named Marge Willet at the time.
Lola Albright! - Yumbersome!
I remember her for playing the sultry singer Edie Hart, the girlfriend of private eye Peter Gunn, on all three seasons of the TV series Peter Gunn
Great singer!
21:26. Incorrect usage of “ whom”.
Nah, "whom" is correct - it's just an awkward construction. She should have said, "To whom do you think you're speaking", then it would sound fine.
The reason why Mary got bottom billing is because they ran rhem in alphabetical order after DVD
Maybe not
Lola Albright was under-appreciated .... but not by me. I loved her in the TV Series Peter Gunn.
Me, too. I watched Peter Gunn back when it was first run in prime time. I absolutely loved Lola Albright. I learned how to "smooch" watching her and Craig Stevens in their obligatory romantic interlude scenes.
Always believe the wife.
So do I. But it would help if Rob grew a spine.
Why does Richie yell and holler every one of his lines? It's extremely annoying
Maybe it was his way of being noticed along with the huge stars on the show.
My frd's have 2 sons that are always LOUD. They love getting attention, toys YEAH!, Candy YEAH!, Etc.... Always LOUD!!!!

It was the 60’s. People had manners.
I hate how jealous Laura always is. When ever there is a girl in a sketch she goes overboard.
Here she's kind of justified. Rob has a tendency to overlook faults due to beauty and behave way too warm with other women.
Script. Nothing but following the script.
@@jb6712 I know, people seem to believe The Dick Van Dyke Show is reality.
@rebecca6572 It's not that she doesn't trust him. She rightfully thinks he's behaving spinelessly, allowing Mel to be kicked off simply because he won't toe the line with the egotistic lady. Even he himself agrees with her.
Rob is jealous alot too
Bit of a first season retread with the writing for Laura here-sitcom cliches. Good otherwise.
