Dick Van Dyke Show: Leading Television Into The 60s
October 29 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
The Dick Van Dyke Show is well remembered as one of the wittiest situation comedies in the history of television.
What is less well remembered is that Carl Reiner’s creation was a tremendously influential but deceptive innovator. The DIck Van Dyke Show contrasts sharply with the situation comedies of the 1950s; in fact, it ushers in a new era. It was the first sitcom to be set in suburbia, to feature both the 
world of work AND a fully developed home life as a central focus,the first show to offer rich and consistent backstories for all the characters, the first to present a modern housewife as well as the first show to feature a professional woman in the workplace.
This unique presentation will highlight one of the most iconic programs and early TV history. Click here to see a brief preview video about this program!
