Pioneers of Television: Dick Van Dyke – A Celebration 1x55

This Pioneers of Television profile of Dick Van Dyke’s life and career is packed with fun clips from landmark productions like The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Poppins, and Diagnosis Murder.

This film also offers a fascinating look at Dick’s lesser-known projects: the variety show that beat out Saturday Night Live for an Emmy; his serious turn in the much-acclaimed film The Comic, and his recent singing career as the lead of The Vantastix.  Peppered throughout are fresh interviews with Dick and all of his co-stars. It’s the story of a career that exemplifies the best in family entertainment.
