The Classic TV Database

The comedic chemistry of The Dick Van Dyke Show is legendary. Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore's collaboration created one of the funniest couples in TV history. They were backed up by Morey Amsterdam (?human joke machine? Maurice) and Rose Marie (the sharp-tongued, husband hunting Sally).

The Dick Van Dyke Show was based on producer Carl Reiner's experiences working for Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows, lending this classic sit-com an uproarious, authentic atmosphere.
