At home, he is the loving husband of Laura and their son Ritchie. Together, they master the adventures and challenges of everyday life with warm hearts and a healthy sense of humor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong>: In 1960, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/siteSearch.asp?search=Carl%20Reiner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Carl Reiner<\/a> created a TV show based on his experiences as a writer in Hollywood. Called Head of the Family, the show featured Reiner himself in the leading role as Rob Petrie and Mr. and Mrs. North alumn Barbara Britton as his television wife. Despite the lovely casting choice for Mrs. Petrie, the show failed to meet the necessary enthusiasm to be picked up for a complete season and found its way back to Carl Reiner\u2019s writing desk. Re-imagined and re-cast with Dick van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore, the show made a comeback one year later. Named after its new leading man, <a title=\"The Dick Van Dyke Show\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/tag\/dick-van-dyke\/\">The Dick Van Dyke Show<\/a> found a home on CBS for its first season and was renewed for four more due to Procter &amp; Gamble\u2019s commercial influence on the network.<\/p>\n<p>Rewarded with 15 Emmy Awards (out of 25 nominations), the show offered a look behind the scenes of a fictional variety program, The Alan Brady Show, as well as a glimpse into the Petrie household. Although using the quirks of Hollywood as a setting was nothing new by 1961, The Dick Van Dyke Show managed to find a balance between the ballyhoo of entertainment and the everyday chaos of family life. Blessed with the comedic talents of the two leading actors as well as their natural chemistry, the show was lighthearted, smart and funny. Shaped in quality and style by writer\/creator Reiner (who also appeared as fictional TV star Alan Brady), the show remained top-notch from beginning to end and is still popular in reruns today. Available on DVD and Blu-ray, the entire series can also be revisited by old fans and new ones alike \u2013 a worthwhile endeavor for anyone who appreciates classy comedy and a wholesome but quirky style.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Birdie Watching: Reflections on Bye Bye Birdie`\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/birdie-watching-reflections-on-bye-bye-birdie\/\">Birdie Watching: Reflections on Bye Bye Birdie<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<em>Melanie Simone is a writer with a degree in American Studies and English.
