Van Dyke Show Episodes Based On Real Life

The Attempted Marriage: The part where Rob proposes to Laura was based quite a bit on Carl Reiner’s real life proposal to his wife.

A Bird In The Head Hurts: Carl Reiner’s neighbor when he and his wife lived in New Rochelle (The woman that Millie Helper was based off of) actually had an experience where her son was being targeted by a woodpecker. The scene with the game warden when he suggests that Ritchie wear a pith helmet and sunglasses was something that was based off of a real conversation had with a game warden.

Laura’s Little Lie: The idea for this episode came from the fact that Mary Tyler Moore lied about her age in order to help her chances of getting the role of Laura Petrie.

Who And Where Was Antonio Stradiverius: Dick Van Dyke’s father, Cookie Van Dyke, did a backflip off a diving board and hitting his head. While under the influence of temporary amnesia, he ended up driving to Palm Springs and entertaining a party of complete strangers. 

Honeymoons Are For The Lucky: Rob and Laura’s honeymoon was based off of Carl Reiner and his wife’s honeymoon. Carl Reiner went AWOL just like Rob in order to have a honeymoon. The hotel that Rob and Laura stayed in was similar to the hotel that Carl and his wife stayed at.

Brother, Can You Spare $2500: I can’t remember all the details of this but I know that one of the writers of TDVDS lost a script for a different show they were writing for. I don’t remember how it differed from there, though. 

Baby Fat: Based on an experience by Garry Marshall, who was asked by Joey Bishop to punch up a script for a show he was in on Broadway.

Obnoxious, Offensive, Egomaniac, etc: I believe it was Jerry Belson and Garry Marshall who wrote for The Joey Bishop Show. Joey Bishop was known for being a tyrant something akin to Alan Brady and on bad weeks they would write insults and expletives in the script and then white them out before they got to Joey Bishop. Only one week they forgot to get rid of the insults. Only difference is that in real life someone along the line caught it and it never got seen by Joey Bishop.
