THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW – NOW IN LIVING COLOR! A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO CARL REINER!
July 3, 2020  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
The newly colorized episodes shown tonight in what CBS is calling its Tribute to Carl Reiner have been shown by the network in prime time before: “October Eve,” in which Reiner plays an artist who paints Mary Tyler Moore’s Laura Petrie in the nude, was shown in color tones in 2017. (For the record: Laura wasn’t nude. The artist just painted her that way from his imagination.) And the show’s classic “Coast to Coast Big Mouth” episode, in which Laura reveals to a national TV audience that her husband’s boss, Reiner’s Alan Brady, is bald, was shown by CBS, in living color, in 2016. But they’re always worth watching – especially as we remember Carl after his death Monday, at age 98.
