Where To Watch
MeTV Celebrates Carl Reiner beginning Sunday, July 5
Watch Reiner's personal favorite episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show at 11PM | 10C.
Beginning this Sunday, July 5, at 11PM | 10C, MeTV will be celebrating the career of the late Carl Reiner with specially programmed episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show. In 2019, Reiner picked his 20 personal favorite episodes of the pioneering sitcom.
As gracious as he was, Reiner shined the spotlight on his colleagues and costars, highlighting brilliant moments of Mary Tyler Moore, Rose Marie, Dick Van Dyke, et al. And, yes, he naturally had to select one with his own character, Alan Brady, the self-deprecating classic "Coast to Coast Big Mouth," which has arguably the funniest moment with a toupee in television history.
To celebrate his life and work, MeTV proudly presents Reiner's favorite eight episodes throughout July. These selections will air in MeTV's regularly scheduled airing of The Dick Van Dyke Show, Sundays at 11PM | 10C.
Here is what you will see.

But can't you guys --- just for one week --- put "The Andy Griffith Show" on hiatus and feature the episodes hand-picked by Carl Reiner himself as a good old-fashioned "summer replacement series"?
People who just can't survive without a "Nip it in the bud" or the 7,295th broadcast of "The Pickle Story" have everything on DVD anyway.
In any event, R.I.P. Carl Reiner. You will be missed for the *good* things you did.
And may I suggest you locate a vinyl copy of the uncensored version of Luther "Luke" Campbell and the 2 Live Crew's album "Banned in the USA" and see the poster for those who don't believe in the First Amendment. (The poster is larger with the vinyl version.)
Goodbye.
Shows today don’t have theme songs or opening credits other than a few seconds of music. The opening and closing credits were the best part of some shows. Some networks cut or condense credits with one shows ending credits and the next shows opening on the same screen.
The big question is why Buddy and Sally are apparently working at Rob's house (with a typewriter) while Rob comes home, presumably from work?
CBS will show two colorized episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show featuring Carl Reiner Friday July 3 8-9pm ET.
You can see "Coast-to-Coast Big Mouth" on CBS (colorized) on Friday July 3rd at 8pm ET, on MeTV Sunday July 5th at 10pm ET and on Decades Friday July 10th at 10pm.
