As a kid I watched television 24 hours a day and loved every minute of it. The two shows that always make me laugh and are therefore my favorites are The Dick Van Dyke Show and Fawlty Towers.

My dad would have me watch the shows that he liked. I watched 'I Love Lucy.' I watched 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.' I watched 'M*A*S*H' and 'Mary Tyler Moore' and 'Bob Newhart' and 'Taxi' and 'Cheers.'

Dan Schneider

I probably remember more about 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' than Dick Van Dyke does.

Neil Flynn

'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was a huge influence on me as a kid. It looked like a really fun job.

Mike Scully

I was trying to be Mary Tyler Moore. I loved her in 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.'

Vicki Lawrence

I always enjoyed things that made me laugh. My dad introduced me to 'Fawlty Towers' and I loved 'Crackerjack' - that was my childhood encapsulated.

Paul Sinha

I got my first television at Stanford when I was 20, and I used to watch 'The Dick Van Dyke Show'. He played my father on 'Becker,' and he's still one of my heroes. Along with John Cleese, he's my favourite physical comedian.

Ted Danson

And then Dick called and said, I'm going to do a special called Dick Van Dyke and the other woman, that would be you, because every time I try to check into a hotel with my wife, they look at me as though I'm cheating on Laura.

Mary Tyler Moore

Even failures can turn into something positive if you just keep going. I wrote a television pilot called 'Head of the Family.' CBS didn't want it. It was considered a failure. But we reworked it. A year later, it became 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.'

Carl Reiner

Reruns are wonderful because it usually indicates that they had something going for them to begin with and that's why you're still looking at them. And in both my shows, The Dick Van Dyke Show and the last one, they were so well written and so good they hold up.

Mary Tyler Moore

There's Dick Van Dyke and John Ritter, the two greatest physical comics of our generation.
