In 1963, On the Christmas episode of “THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW”, This cute, funny, lovable seasonal oddity has Alan Brady (Carl Reiner) taking a back seat to his staffers as they perform on his special holiday show. So, in character as Laura (Mary Tyler Moore), Rob (Van Dyke), Buddy (Morey Amsterdam), Sally (Rose Marie), and Mel (Richard Deacon), the “Dick Van Dyke Show” cast gets to sing and dance and run through old routines and vaudeville sketches. Itʹs not exactly p.c. — Sally belts out the definitely non-feminist “Santa, Send a Fella” — and when Ritchie (Larry Mathews) sings “The Little Drummer Boy,” the needle flies off the schmaltz meter. But while “The Alan Brady Show Presents” might be dated, itʹs a gift to the audience that records a time of optimistic innocence. And when the cast signs off by singing a few rowdy bars of the “Dick Van Dyke” theme song, we know this has been a special kind of fun for them — and no less for us.
