There are Van Dykes and
there are Van Dykes! The paint
ings do absolutely nothing for
tine, but the comedian can
break me up at the drop of a
hat, or by speaking a line that
isn't even meant to be funny.
Why Canadian television ignor-
ed the U.S.-produced series,
The Dick Van. Dyke Show, for
so long and why the Canadian
public allowed it to, beatsrne!
Since the day he first filmed a
pilot for his network he has
been receiving nothing but
praise and awards for his efforts.
And every year, like clock-
work, his show, his directors,
writers, and co-star Mary Ty-
ler Moore, join him in deliver-
ing their thank-yous for their
TV Emmys, awarded for tele-
vision excellence,
Dick Van Dyke is a fellow
who became a star -- but with-
out being a part of "The Sys-
tem".
ys-tem". Unlike most of Holly-
wood's inhabitants who wear
million -dollar clothes, attend
every cocktail party and pre-
miere in town (taking their own
photographer with them), and
would set their own pants on
fire if they thought it would get
their names in the newspapers
and make them stars, the Van
Dykes live simply. Dick and his
wife Marge seldom attend par-
ties and their four children,
Chris 15, Barry 14, Stacy 10,
and Carrie Beth 4, are seldom
photographed; in fact, their life
is fairly normal considering
that he is one of the biggest
stars in the business and makes
enough money to live like a
king.
At 38, Dick looks much
younger and talks and acts like
a teenager. He is as easy-going
in person as he is on his show
and has countless numbers of
friends in a town where many
don't know the meaning of the
word. He first caught the eyes
of Hollywood producers when
he starred in the hit Broadway
tly BY Ygqql l4R Vomii e
play "Bye, Bye, Birdie" in
1960 and hence went west to
star on TV. Movies beckoned,
he repeated his Broadway role
in the movie version of 'Birdie',
and though some people were
too busy to notice played a
starring role in a Walt Disney
flick called "Maty Poppins".
As far as I was concerned, he
left the star, Julie Andrews, far
behind and walked away with
the picture. Every movie he has
made has been a hit (he has
done four), and he is constant-
ly being bombarded with scripts
for future movie work. No doubt
if he wished, he could be be-
fore the cameras every day 'til
1980 and his popularity would
only increase.
His television series was
created by comedy writerCarl
Reiner and is based on Reiner's
own life, He also stars as Dick's
boss in the series. It is to show
the viewing public the behind -
the -scenes life of a writer of
TV jokes, and I suppose, prove
that not every day is a riot as
one might think. His co-stars
and co-workers are Rose Marie
and Morey Amsterdam, and
when the three of them are to-
gether, making with the quips
like laughing was going out of
style, you really forget you are
not there in the office with
them, listening to them adlib
(which I think they are doing
much of the time), His sweet
wife Laura is played superbly by
Mary Tyler Moore, and if yottre
going to be a comedy writer
she's the kind of wife to have!
She is the heart -as -big -as -all -
outdoors, scatter -brain type,
who by simply 'talking off the
top of her head', can supply
him with enough material for
an entire show! A real doll,
and they complement each
other like bacon and eggs! But
the star of the show is still Van
Dyke, and the half-hour is nev-
er funnier than when he is on
camera alone. What a refresh-
ing talent! It will lighten your
entire week if you spend a half-
hour watching him!

"Petticoat Junction" has re-
turned for another season, but
with a difference. Bea Bene-
daret is still the strong and
steady Kate Bradley who tries to
run the Shady Rest Hotel; Edgar
Buchanan as Uncle Joe is still
the lazy slob who is under the
impression that he has made
the Hotel and Kate what they
are. Floyd and Charley, old
favourites Rufe Davis and Smi-
ley Burnette, are still backrun-
ning the Cannonball, and even
the cute wee pooch is back,
The change is in Kate's
daughters, Billy Jo, Bobbi Joe,
and Betty Jo. Jeannine Riley
and Pat Woodell, who played
the eldest two, begged out of
the series at the end of last sea-
son, so rather than make ex-
cuses that they had both 'gone
east', (like 'Bonanza' did with
Adam Cartright) they were re-
placed.
Bunilia Hutton is the new
Billy Jo, a cute blonde who
could be even better than Riley
in the part, and who could go
places in the business. Then we
have Lori Saunders who tried to
walk into Woodell's shoes and
can't begin to fill them. She is
not nearly as lovely as Miss
Woodell and has as much per-
sonality as a can of tuna. Per-
haps with luck, Bobbi Jo, who
is the brainy one of the Bradley
family, will finish school and
go the Europe to study law so
we'll be rid of her! The petite
little doll whom I always did
think was cutest of all, Linda
Kaye as Betty Jo, is still with
the show and should have an
even larger following now,
Pat Woodell also has a fabu-
lous singing voice which the
show will miss; she is no doubt
branching out into other things
where she can better make use
of her versatility. In private
life, she is the wife of Gaty
Clarke, star of 'The Virginian'.
