Coming By for a Little Revisit
Back in 2010, they made a reunion special of sorts, The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited. It’s available on YouTube, but broken into five segments. The show is quite well done, especially considering that almost half a century (!) -- 44 years -- had passed between the final episode and this. For the most part it’s a new “episode,” but they also mix in wonderful archival footage.
If you want to watch the whole thing, you can just click on this link for the first part, and then follow the subsequent links for the other sections. But it’s the final part that I think is especially worth posting here. It mixes the storyline (Alan has tracked down Rob, now living in New York with Laura who has a small dance studio in their apartment, to write his eulogy for whenever it’s needed) with great footage from the original series. And there are some wonderful, “inside” jokes about the show that should be clear enough to most people.
