Are these real episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show or did we make them up?
Many episode titles parodied famous movies, plays and even other TV shows.
The writers of The Dick Van Dyke Show, led by creator Carl Reiner, not only crafted a great show with a familiar sitcom setting, they also infused the series with weirder elements like wacky dream sequences. It’s one of the many reasons The Dick Van Dyke Show has stood the test of time.
Even the titles of the episodes are fun and creative. They reference everything from famous poems and plays to classic novels and even another popular 1960s television show. Can you tell which of these titles are really from The Dick Van Dyke Show and which ones we made up?
