The whole "The Dick Van Dyke Show" is available for free on YouTube, I highly recommend it.

Good starting points would be the Christmas Special (Alan Brady Presents), “It May Look Like a Walnut” and “That’s My Boy” (just off the top of my head). There are two episodes where we got to see Van Dyke’s Stan Laurel impersonation which was absolutely amazing. Given how much he drank and smoked back in the 60s and 70s it’s a miracle he’s still on earth, but he is definitely a treasure.

Is it commercial free? Also available in Prime Video and Peacock Premium if you have those.

the dick van dyke show is an absolute masterpiece

There are few (maybe no) moments of Dick Van Dyke that aren’t a joy to watch. I grew up on reruns of the Dick Van Dyke Show and discovered Andy Kaufman thanks to Van Dyke’s short-lived variety show, Van Dyke and Company. Watching his dance moves (it’s a little amazing to realize how many dance numbers the Dick Van Dyke Show featured) is like watching an animated character dance, he was able to move his body in ways that suggest he has no bones. As a kid, I wanted to be Dick Van Dyke when I grew up and as an adult, I want to be Dick Van Dyke when I’m old.

> a joy to watch

The man is a brilliant comedian. He knew some of the greats; he is one of them.

I just saw a tweet saying his birth was closer to the death of Thomas Jefferson (1826) than it is to today. Wow.
jihadjihad•38m ago
It’s a fun fact that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same day, July 4 1826, 50 years to the day after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

Ironically enough, Adams’ last words were reportedly, “Jefferson lives”
ericvsmith•6m ago
For those who don't know the story: it's ironic because Jefferson died first.

Yeah, he's very old for a person and the US is very young for a country.
sethammons•30m ago
The grandson of the 10th US president died this year. The US is barely three generations old. That guy could say his grandfather shook hands with Thomas Jefferson.

I think it was Bertram Russell who said he was raised by his grandfather, who knew Napoleon.

The modern world is a lot more crammed together than we think it is

He sang probably the greatest song in musical film — Hushabye Mountain in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang:

If you have never seen this film, I don't care how old you are, you should watch it. It is overshadowed by Mary Poppins but it is a work of art — a funny, charming, astonishing visual feast of a film and he is magnificent in it. His performance as the jack-in-a-box alone is worth an Oscar:
