Dick Van Dyke Show: Complete Third Season (Episodes Only), The

In today's 21st century world, the standardized TELEVISION SITCOM has become a jungle of profane language, extreme antics, and bad behaviors that would have been labeled NOT FOR FAMILY VIEWING as recent as the 1970s or 80s. That's why the early sitcom classics such as THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW are a REFRESHING BREEZE of pure oxygen for those of us who still hold to a higher standard of acceptable language or behavior. Social media and the internet have contributed to the lowering of standards for what is acceptable on television anymore, including "family shows" (kids have already seen too much, too soon, and things that never should have been seen).There are still many in America who, like me, long for the good ol' days, when life was simpler and more conservative, when families still sat around the supper table and ate dinner together. Moreover, the very definition of "family" has forever changed now, hence, the time of innocence is but a memory. If you're longing to go back to a time when life was much more innocent, when the lines of right and wrong were clear and not blurred by political correctness and tolerance, then THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW will bring you the RELIEF you're longing for, in the world of family entertainment.The Dick Van Dyke Show is GOOD MEDICINE for those suffering from headaches, nausea, stress, blues, and tightness in the chest. The result of viewing an episode from THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW will be a barrel full of laughter and stress-release that will lengthen your life span, along with boosting the endorphins in the brain, causing GREAT HAPPINESS AND JOY to the viewer. The Dick Van Dyke Show has awesome medicinal value to your overall health and wellness! Act now! Buy any of the seasons, and start living happier lives!

Of the TV series I've been willing to buy and add to my collection, the Dick Van Dyke Show was easy - and honesty, one of the few. We have a bunch of movies, but when it comes to TV, I'm really picky. This show is one I watch again and again. The cast is top notch and while some (Buddy and Sally) were old time vets by the time they did this show, others were just coming the scene - Mary Tyler Moore's Laura is a TV legend and Mary herself would go on to TV glory. Dick Van Dyke needs no introduction - he's always been stellar. This is a great show and a wonderful way to spend time - if you think you've seen great TV and not seen this show, you're missing out. We love it!

I love this old show

In my opinion, The Dick Van Dyke Show is the all-time best show every!!! Great comedy! Great acting! And great rapport between the actors! Though there are several episodes that especially shine as my favorites, all of the episodes of all 5 seasons are fantastic!I love all the extras and interviews that are included in this package: it is a wonderful treat and a great pleasure to listen to the interviews of the actors and actresses reminiscing and telling stories of their time together. This company also did a fantastic job restoring these great classics: the picture and sound are wonderfully clear.If you enjoy laughing, or need to laugh, these shows are for you. "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine..." (Prov 17:22)

I've loved the Dick Van Dyke Show for as long as I can remember. Back when I was a child it was a staple for us at home. Considering the show began the year I was born it means that I primarily remember the reruns but that doesn't matter. This TV show remains as funny now as it was then. It just goes to show creative genius lives on no matter what.As far as the dvds in this collection, they're brilliantly done, clean and clear. I watched all 30+ episodes of season one over a weekend and will begin season 2 next weekend. I purchased all five seasons and so far it is turning out to be a wonderful experience. Don't miss out, these are terrific!

Well, we loved the first 2 seasons, but we were surprised to find ourselves disappointed by the 3rd season of the Dick Van Dyke Show. They repeat the Laura jealous of Rob/Rob jealous of Laura theme way too often. There were so many other themes and angles they could have pursued and often did in earlier shows. Rob and Laura's son is hardly ever included in an episode. And since we think of this as a family show we were surprised at how many darker themes were addressed (wife-stealing, husband-stealing, divorce, etc). The episode where Laura meets an old flame, now a priest, had a very nice and surprising ending, when she realized that the "love poetry" he had sent her many years before had not been written with her in mind, but rather God. Still, before we could get to that touching ending we had to endure more of the ho-hum Rob jealous of Laura theme. I still think we'll try the 4th season, but we regret the missed opportunities of the 3rd.

I have just finished Season Three and will start soon on Season Four. I have been very pleased with the entire set. It is done in quality packaging (although I wish the main box were more substantial). There are no bad spots or edits as in some boxed DVD TV shows. I have not watched all the "extras" on each individual show but the ones I have watched have been informative as well as entertaining. In season three you can tell the actors are much more at ease and seem to fall naturally into their conversations with one another and nothing is forced as in some of season one's shows. This is real enjoyment and I look forward to watching seasons four and five.

Mostly good, but season 2 had a duplicate disc of episodes in it, making an entire disc of the season's episodes unavailable. I should give less than 3 stars, but other than that major blunder, the discs worked fine.

Always been a fan of Mary Tyler Moore so these episodes are viewed with pleasure. Particularly like Mary's flip hairstyles.

I should’ve listened to other reviewers who said there was a problem with this series. The DVD gets stuck on the same spot and cannot be viewed any further. We only found this out after the refund time lapsed.

Would love to be able to review this. Once again it seems that Region 2 is being left out as we only have Series 1-2 so far. This is a brilliant program and deserves to be made available for us too.

Good.
