Happy Birthday.

🎂 always liked him

Him and this entourage of reporters at a bookstore. I only saw the back of his head as he was talking. I recognized the voice but didnt know it was him until I asked a staff member....

I liked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Was the original also in color? It had to be one of the earlier movies that wasn’t BW.

and the Dick Van Dyke movie made in 1968. What is "the original" here? Colour movies started in the 1930s.

I saw it in 2021 for the first time and it was in color. But it vaguely had the appearance of the type of movie that was colorized:

I can’t remember why (and I forgot to look it up after posting that), but I came away with the impression that it was colorized after. I think I am confusing it with a different movie.

Dick van Dyke lists longevity secrets to positive outlook and never getting angry.

There is someone often in the news that is always angry.

I was never a fan of the Variety Show genre but Van Dyke & Company was the exception to that rule.

Dick Van Dyke assembled an incredible roster of comedic talent -- Bob Einstein, Andy Kaufman, Carl Reiner, Tommy Smothers, Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Steve Martin...

Unfortunately it was cancelled after just 11 episodes.

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet.

Forever.

. . . And one of the links, (which I did not click) led to some tribute that Piers Morgan has created. Ugh! Piers Morgan. Sorry for the negativity, Mr. Van Dyke, but Morgan is the anthesis of you and I had to express my feelings.

Filmrise Classic TV & Catchy Comedy TV Channel are both showing weekend long marathons of The Dick Van Dyke Show.
