This was a favorite growing up and as a kid it was so cool to watch the show and see Dick Van Dyke star in so many of my favorite Disney Movies as well as in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, written by Ian (James Bond) Flemming. So many laughs and fun memories… The Dick Van Dyke show has know reached legendary status and is a fan favorite on many of the flashback and vintage Television station. Below is a link full of info on the show and Sorry for the short post but work is calling n just had enough time to at least get this up on this special day in classic TV history. Enjoy
