Iconic things about The Dick Van Dyke Show
-For the time The Dick Van Dyke Show was incredibly diverse. You got to remember this was the early 1960s, back in the day you were lucky to see African Americans in any capacity and when they were in shows or movies they were strictly in the service industry. That started to change in the late 50s to early 60s and TDVDS was kinda the start of that in Television. People of color were depicted in different capacities than usual. In the episode “That’s My Boy??” the actors Greg Morris and Mimi Dillard played a normal upper middle class family. In this episode Rob thinks that Laura and himself were sent home with the wrong baby from the hospital and he believes that their baby was taken by a family with the last name Peters. The Peters ended up being African American and they were depicted as well dressed and well spoken people who seemed to live in a similar area and walk of life as the Petries and in that episode the black couple is funny and completely sane whereas the white man (Rob) is depicted as the butt of the joke. Also at the end of the episode Rob subtly mentions how their son Richie is getting horrible grades and the Peters’ son is at the top of the class. It’s small things like that, that had never been seen on Television. In a episode named “The Man from My Uncle“ an actor by the name of Godfrey Campbell played an FBI agent. And that’s not counting the numerous POC in smaller roles or as extras in scenes. This was a time where you were lucky to see POC even as extras. -The feminism in TDVDS took amazing strides as well. There were times where Rob is shown to be very insecure, and I think that’s some of the most of it’s time aspects of the show. It’s not great, but it’s realistic. One of my favorite character choices for Laura Petrie is that we find out that she is proficient in self defense.... she learned self defense techniques when she was an entertainer for the troops. In the episode “My Mother Can Beat Up My Father,” a drunk at a bar harasses Laura and Rob tries to defend her and he gets laid out by the drunk. Laura then does a judo throw on the guy and lays him out. It becomes a big thing for Rob in that episode and he’s very insecure about the fact that Laura can take a guy that Rob can’t. But Laura does not apologize for that fact, and in one scene Rob is trying to prove that he’s all tough and so he challenges Laura to do the same throw with him. Laura doesn’t pretend she can’t do it to spare his fragile masculinity, she lays him out and if I remember correctly he broke a few bones. Also the character of Sally Rogers has been touted as one of the first women’s lib characters. She’s a Television writer alongside Rob and Buddy and she is treated with respect and is presumably paid the same as Buddy who is a writer on her same level. She is a proud career woman who is damn good at her job, and is an equal to the men in her workplace. Another big way that TDVDS broke ground was the fact that Laura wears capri pants. Believe it or not that caused a firestorm of controversy.... up to that point housewives had been shown as wearing dresses and skirts on TV and once the dust settled the fact that Mary Tyler Moore wore capri pants on TDVDS caused those pants to become a huge fashion craze in the 60s. -TDVDS became a huge hit starting with the second season against all odds. First off Carl Reiner had created the show a couple years prior and had actually shot a pilot with an entirely different cast and with himself in the lead, at that time it was called “Head Of The Family.” It aired and did not get picked up. Carl just gave up on it and it lay on a shelf collecting dust. A couple years later someone with the William Morris Agency tried to get Carl to retry it and he refused. That agent then went to the most successful producer at that time, Sheldon Leonard. Sheldon was known for having a perfect record for his pilots, absolutely all of them had been picked up to series, some of which were huge hit shows. Sheldon saw the show and immediately saw the potential. He approached Carl about the idea of retrying with an entirely different cast and name.... once a famous producer says they have faith in your show, how can you say no. So they set to the task of finding a cast. Dick Van Dyke was one of the first people to be cast in the show, and at that point Dick was in the middle of a successful run on Broadway in the show “Bye Bye Birdie” which he’d won a Tony Award for, but being successful on Broadway doesn’t usually translate to fame with the general public (up until Lin Manuel Miranda that was true). So not only did they cast an unknown in the lead role but they then turned around and named the show on the said unknown actor. That was an extremely ballsy and risky move. At the time there were a lot of shows named after actors but they were all famous stars like Doris Day etc. To name a show after an unknown actor was unheard of!! They then cast Mary Tyler Moore (who was an unknown), they cast Rose Marie (who was never hugely famous, but had a really good career on radio and in night clubs. But even if you consider her to have been famous, she was kind of a has been), Morey Amsterdam was cast (an unknown), Jerry Paris and Ann Morgan Guilbert were cast (also unknowns). It was really a cast full of unknowns in the leads. There were no big names. Which was really a disadvantage going in. The first season bombed, it was near the end of the Nielsen ratings and morale was severely low at the end of the season. Sheldon Leonard actually got word from a friend who was on the committee that decided which shows were cancelled and which her renewed, that the show had indeed been cancelled and it just hadn’t been announced yet. So Sheldon went into problem solving mode. He knew that going to the network wouldn’t get him anywhere. At that time sponsors were king and TDVDS had one of the biggest sponsors in the game, Proctor And Gamble. So Sheldon flew to Proctor And Gamble’s headquarters and in his own words he “sang mammy” in other words he begged and he charmed their pants off (figuratively) :) At the end of his pitch, they agreed to go to bat for the show... on one condition.... that he found a sponsor to sponsor the second half of the season. So he raced from sponsor to sponsor pitching his show and begging them to co sponsor them. He was in the middle of a pitch when he was alerted that Kent Cigarettes had decided to sponsor their second half. Proctor And Gamble and Kent Cigarettes went up against CBS and demanded that they renew TDVDS or else they would withdraw support from all their other popular shows. And CBS caved and renewed the show. With S2, TDVDS became a massive success and by the end of S5 the network was begging Carl Reiner to make another season but Carl wanted to end the show while they were still on top. TDVDS also became the darling of the awards shows. They continually swept the Emmys every year starting with S2. They won for writing, directing, and acting, it also won Best Comedy in 1966 with it’s final season.
-The scripts were largely based off of real life. Nowadays it’s more common for shows to take ideas from real life, but at the time Carl Reiner’s wish for authenticity was largely unheard of. Writers on the show described the writing sessions as therapy sessions because it would start with Carl probing into their life and them talking about embarrassing things that happened to them. Carl and the writers would take those ideas and make them bigger and crazier but there was always that nugget of truth in there.
-The marriage between Rob and Laura was also iconic. You gotta figure that I Love Lucy was a huge show of the past decade and it really shaped most future shows. In some ways TDVDS was the antithesis of that. Carl wanted to create a show where the main married couple was united... it was them against the world. He shied away from battle of the sexes storylines whenever possible. He wanted Rob and Laura to be clearly in love. And it’s a unique relationship where you can tell that those two have an active sex life... and that was really unique for the time.
-Carl Reiner made a decision at the beginning of the show that he would never use popular slang terms of the 60s. In fact if you watch beginning to end, only one slang term slipped in, in S5. Otherwise, he remarkably kept to that. Because of that crucial decision, TDVDS is not as dated as it could be and it has a very timeless feel to it.
-The cast was known to get along famously, there were only a few moments of tension, otherwise the set was known to be very light and there was little tension. They were all pranksters and the set was alive with hilarity, laughter, and pranks. They used to haze guest stars... most of the guest stars were fine with being hazed but there was one who did not take it so well. During the filming of one episode Robert Vaughn was the guest star and he was on the outskirts of the set waiting for his cue to come in. The actors led the entire cast and crew off the set and turned off the lights and left Robert waiting for his cue for about an hour, until he walked in to see what the holdup was only to find the entire cast and crew gone. It’s hilarious, but he wasn’t too happy. The cast was like a huge family, but most guest stars described them as being very welcoming as well.
Edit. Another iconic thing I almost forgot is the fact that certain episodes are used in film classes as examples of how to write comedy. It’s so funny and iconic that it is the textbook case of how to write comedy shows!!!! When will your favorite show ever... ;)

Mimi Dillard and Victor in a behind the scenes photo from “The Strangler” (1964)! I found this photo in a May 1964 issue of “Jet”, a magazine marketed to African-American readers. The article it accompanied was about how Mimi Dillard’s career as an actress and singer was taking off.

Just received horrible news of the passing of a sweet and beautiful soul. My buddy, my first college date as a freshman at Fair Dillard, lolol...he was the reason I became friends/family with Che Howard whom connected me with the crew Scott Campbell Kimani Atiba, Mimi Armstrong and both Seans... The guy who introduced me to Common Rashid(Common) via 3way, dopest phone call I everrrr had. My dear friend Wayne. Years later the crew reconnected again when Wayne moved to Vegas..Mannnn Wayne had us reliving our college days in our 30s... Laaawwwdddd Vegas wasn't ready lol The backstage VIP passes to all the hip hop concerts bc he just so happened to have grown up with them all! Wayne was such a cool, handsome, and chill guy. So happy to call him a friend and so blessed God allowed our paths to cross. We (Che, Scott, and myself) was by his side when he had a horrible medical scare out here in Vegas. When he awoke from the stroke he saw his college crew right there by his side.We had enlightened him of how worried he had us and the beautiful message Wayne gave us was unbelievable. He said he felt us there, he heard our prayers and our jokes as we reminisced of our college years while standing at his bedside pleading to God to let him live. God pulled Wayne threw that faithful night This news of his passing hit me in a way I just wasn't prepared for but Im thanking God he is no longer fighting and suffering. I will miss you my friend and thank you for all of the memories and the bomb home cooked food. I still have your moms plate and will return it when I see her again. Lolol Wayne, this hurts.... man sooo much. Keeping your family and friends lifted in my prayers. Rest in paradise until we meet again my always so fly, dope and handsome friend. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-oOdEhCKI/?igshid=13kt1j2znxgel

(Paramount+/Netflix/ABC/Disney+ via AP)AP
“Luca”
In Enrico Casarosa’s enchanting Pixar feature “Luca,” two young sea monsters frolic along the Italian Riviera, temporary transforming into 13-year-old boys to pose as human and soak up all the coastline’s summertime pleasures — all while hiding their identities. “Luca,” which arrives Friday on Disney+, follows Pixar’s “Soul” in heading straight for streaming, and unlike some other Disney animated releases, it will be no extra charge for subscribers. Setting his movie in the 1950s, Casarosa (director of the Pixar short “La Luna”) drew inspiration from classic Italian cinema. DETAILS
“Fatherhood”
Timed to Father’s Day is the release of “Fatherhood,” debuting Friday on Netflix. Kevin Hart takes on a more dramatic role, playing a man whose wife dies in childbirth, leaving him to raise their daughter alone. The film, based on the 2011 book “Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss and Love,” is also produced by Hart, who has said he was drawn to showing Black fatherhood in a more positive light on screen. DETAILS
“iCarly”
Mulling what Carly Shay and her friends are up to, nearly a decade after Nickelodeon’s popular teen sitcom “iCarly” ended its five-year run? A Paramount+ sequel is here to satisfy your curiosity. The new “iCarly” brings Miranda Cosgrove back as the title character, now a 20-something coping with love and life, original cast members Jerry Trainor as Carly’s brother Spencer and Nathan Kress as her pal Freddie are along for the ride, with newcomers Laci Mosley as Carly’s best friend and roommate and Jaidyn Triplett as Freddie’s stepdaughter and a social-media pro. The 13-episode season debuts Thursday on the streaming service. DETAILS
“Physical”
After channeling Gloria Steinem for the miniseries “Mrs. America,” Rose Byrne takes on a fictional version of another icon — the fitness entrepreneur. In the 1980s-set dark comedy “Physical,” Byrne plays Sheila, who’s a dutiful partner to her aspiring politician husband but privately grappling with body-image issues. Aerobics and videotape to the rescue! Sheila morphs into an economic powerhouse and the very model of a modern self-help guru. The first three half-hours arrive Friday on Apple TV+, followed each week by a new episode. The cast includes Rory Scovel, Dierdre Friel and Della Saba. DETAILS
“River City Drumbeat”
“River City Drumbeat,” airing Friday on PBS and also available on the network’s streaming platforms, follows a drumline in West Louisville that spans youth through high-school graduation. Using a verité approach, directors Marlon Johnson and Anne Flatté tell a rich and vibrant story of African American heritage, of community and of a pulsating tradition passed from one generation to the next. DETAILS

DETAILS
Angélique Kidjo Angélique Kidjo’s new album is a collaborative adventure: The 13-track “Mother Nature,” which arrives Friday, features Sting on the title track and hip-hop duo EARTHGANG on “Take It or Love It.” Some African artists who appeared on Beyoncé’s “The Lion King: The Gift” album – including Burna Boy, Yemi Alade and Mr Eazi – also appear on Kidjo’s album, along with Salif Keita, Shungudzo, Zeynab, Lionel Loueke, Sampa the Great, Blue Lab Beats and Ghetto Boy. DETAILS
Jimmy Buffett Few things say summer more than a Jimmy Buffett concert. So have some boat drinks at home — or on your boat — and celebrate Father’s Day and the impending solstice at 8 p.m. Sunday, June 20, when the Margaritaville man plays from the Belly Up club in Solana Beach, Calif. Buffett filmed an intimate performance — his first show since early 2020 — in front of just 40 guests. Tickets via nocapshows.com, with a portion of the proceeds going to Singing For Change. DETAILS
Rory Feek Rory Feek is releasing his first album since losing his wife and longtime collaborator, Joey, to cancer in 2016. “Gentle Man” has 14 songs, including guest appearances by heavyweights such as Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, Lee Ann Womack, Ricky Skaggs and Trisha Yearwood. Joey + Rory’s final album “Hymns,” release a month before Joey died, won the duo their first Grammy for best roots gospel album. DETAILS Want more concert & music picks?

Hacking 4 Recovery – Time to Take A Shot
Rise Up
“Let’s do something to help with the pandemic.” In April, with the economy crashing, and the East Coast in lockdown, I heard this from Stanford instructors Tom Bedecarre and Todd Basche, both on the same day. And my response to them was the same, “I can’t sew masks and I don’t know how to make ventilators.” But after thinking about it, it dawned on to me that we could contribute – by creating a class to help existing businesses recover and new ones to start.
And so, Hacking for Recovery began, starting first at Stanford and next offered by University of Hawaii for the State of Hawaii.
After teaching 70 teams – 50 at Stanford and 20 in Hawaii – 275+ entrepreneurs – we’ve proven three things: 1) people can take control of what happens to their lives/careers during and after the pandemic, 2) in five days teams can make extraordinary progress in validating a business model and, 3) this process can be replicated in other areas of the country that need to recover and rebuild businesses.
Here’s how it happened.
I realized we had the ability to rapidly launch a large number of companies on the path of validating their business models. We could offer a 5-day version of the Lean LaunchPad / Hacking For Defense / National Science Foundation I-Corps class that’s trained tens of thousands of entrepreneurs. The class already existed. I had been teaching it at Columbia University for the last seven years. Brainstorming with my Stanford co-instructor Steve Weinstein, we streamlined the material for a virtual class, and told Tom and Todd we could do it.
In two months, they recruited 200 students (50 teams) on 6 continents and in more than a dozen countries. What united the students was their belief that while the pandemic had disrupted their lives, here was an opportunity to shape their own future.
To support them we found 31 mentors, and 4 great Teaching Assistants. The entire course – from team recruitment to the actual class sessions – was hosted online through Zoom.
We ran the Stanford class three times, each in 5-day sessions. (The syllabus is here.)
The teams were able to do customer discovery via video conferencing (getting out of the building without physically getting out of the building) averaging 44 interviews in 5 days. In aggregate they interviewed 2,259 customers. But it just wasn’t the aggregate numbers that were impressive it was how much they learned in five days.
The results?
200 students will never be the same. Rather than bemoaning their circumstances, they decided to rise up and take their best shot. Immersed in a rapid-fire hands-on experience, and surrounded by mentors and subject matter experts, every team not only changed the trajectory of their company but left having learned a methodology for high-speed business model validation to help jump-start a business idea in these chaotic times and beyond.
The topics the teams worked on mirrored the opportunities created caused by the pandemic and sequestering. Over 40% were working on telemedicine, 28% in remote education or remote work. Other teams tackled problems in travel, small business, sustainability, etc. The 50 team concepts at Stanford fell into these categories:
21 Health/Telemedicine
9 Education
5 Remote Work
3 Travel
3 Sustainability
3 Small Business
6 others
More than 15 of the teams have already committed to continue to pursue their startup ideas and are applying to accelerators and seeking funding.
When the sessions at Stanford were completed, we helped the University of Hawaii and Maui Economic Development Board STEMworks launch the Hawaii version of Hacking 4 Recovery – to rebuild the State’s economy, which has been uniquely devastated by the coronavirus lockdown. 20 teams just finished their program. With more to come. Other regions can do the same.
Take a look at a selection of the presentations below from Stanford’s cohorts. Considering some of the teams consisted of incoming freshmen, their progress is kind of mind blowing.
While we enabled 70 teams to start companies, what we really generated was hope – and a path to new opportunities.
AntiCovidAI – a novel mobile app to detect COVID-19 symptoms. Team included Stanford undergrad, Stanford alum, DCI Fellow, Stanford staff member and a graduate student taking courses at Stanford. We had 21/50 teams focused on health/telemedicine concepts
Nightingale – a telemedicine platform connecting nurses to caregivers to close the home healthcare gap.
Diffusion – led by a Stanford Ph.D, this team is developing a sensor to prevent head and neck injuries from falls, especially for seniors in nursing homes.
Edusquared– this team of 4 women who just graduated high school and are entering Stanford in September created an educational subscription box for young Special Ed students. 9 of the teams worked on Education concepts.
Work From Anywhere – the team designed a service to help people move to new locations as remote working allows employees to work from anywhere. 5 teams developed concepts related to Remote Work.
Eye-Dentify – was led by a Knight Hennessy Scholar who wants to help bring eyecare to remote underserved areas. Many of the teams focused on social impact.
Escape Homework – team developed an “Escape Room” platform to make remote learning for k-12 students  fun and engaging. (Post class, the team wrote a blog post describing their experience in the class. Worth a read here.  And they shared their page on virtual educational resources here.)
Voyage – was a global travel advisory platform for pandemic information.
Parrot – fun language app – crossing Duolingo with TikTok. Four rising Stanford sophomore women.
All 50 Stanford presentations are here: Session 1, Session 2 and Session 3.
Total Stanford participants: 200 (Men 51%, Women 49%) Representing a broad cross-section of the Stanford Community:
undergrads  25%
graduate  14%
Summer Session Students  10%
Alumni  30%
Faculty/Staff  2%
DCI Fellows  3%
Other/misc.  16%
Thanks to the instructors who taught the class: Tom Bedecarre, Steve Weinstein and Pete Newell and to the guest lecturers: Mar Hershenson, Tina Seelig, and Heidi Roizen.
In addition to the instructors, each team had mentors who volunteered their time: Jim Anderson, Adi Bittan, Teresa Briggs, Rachel Costello, Phil Dillard, Freddy Dopfel, Mimi Dunne, Dave Epstein, Eleanor Haglund, Joy Fairbanks, Susan Golden, Rafi Holtzman, Pradeep Jotwani, Phillipe Jorge, Vera Kenehan, Robert Locke, Kris McCleary, Radhika Malpani, Stephanie Marrus, Allan May, Rekha Pai,Don Peppers, Alejandro Petschankar, Kevin Ray, Heather Richman, Eric Schrader, Craig Seidel, Kevin Thompson, Wendy Tsu, Lisa Wallace. Plus another 27 subject matter experts as support.
And when a class with a million moving parts appears seamless to the students it’s directly proportional to the amount of work behind the scenes. Without our teaching assistants who volunteered their time none of it would have happened: Head TA’s: Valeria Rincon / Jin Woo Yu and TA’s Nicole Orsak and Diva Sharma.
Lessons learned
While we enabled 70 teams to start companies, what we really generated was hope and a path to new opportunities
With the open source curriculum available here, it’s possible for any school or region to get a version of this class ready in 8-10 weeks
The 5-day format of the class works well
It can stand alone or complement the 10-week or 14-week courses
Having teaching assistants are critical to managing the admin side of marketing, recruiting, team formation, communications and overall support for the teaching team
Team formation requires heavy lifting of emails/team mixers/team – as well as match-making by TA’s and instructors
Having a large pool of mentors and subject matter experts is important in 5-day crash course, to support teams looking for interview subjects and contacts for customer discovery

Today I am taking Mimi to the mall. I don’t really know why we’re going, I am broke as hell and she can’t really walk, so a mall doesn't really seem to be the best place to hang out.  As we got inside there was a coffee shop and I am addicted to caffeine like any other person in my generation. I was too tired to keep pushing her so we sat in the coffee shop as I waited for that caffeine to kick in. I don’t wanna push her in her freakin’ wheelchair all around the mall so I told her to pick a store that we could quickly get to for a while so I didn’t have to push her around everywhere and we both picked Dillard’s. Mostly because she wanted to go here but also because I got a gift card for my birthday from my mom and wanted some new sneakers. My mom says I have too many shoes but that’s not fair because she has just as many if not more and also...  its fashion. We are heading to the back of the store and it’s packed as all hell because it’s the end of summer so everyone is out shopping for back to school. As we approach the shoe section, I feel some form of vibration coming from the floor. I think nothing of it and just attribute it to that weird feeling we all sorta can feel of the bright department store lights buzzing as the electric current flows through them. I kept shopping for shoes for what feels like 10 minutes but honestly, I don’t really remember because it’s just all a blur at this point. Suddenly, Mimi’s chair starts to bother her and her stomach feels weird so she lets me know that she might have to go to the bathroom and I ask her to give me a second and then I told her I would take her. Then my stomach starts to feel weird and it starts to concern me. Suddenly, the floor starts to cave in and my caffeine finally kicks in (although it was probably adrenaline too) and I start to speed Mimi towards the closest exit I can find. The hole is growing and following us no matter how fast we run. Finally, I get outside the mall and then I start running in the parking lot. The sinkhole slows down but I don’t. I am way too shook to stop moving. Eventually, we stop and I look back to see everything that was torn apart… there are fires and smoke and so many people in distress. Then it all goes blank… I don’t remember anything after that.
