In 1965, “Laura Petrie Gets Stuck in the Tub” Like many episodes of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” this sharp farce unfolds in flashback, as Rob (Van Dyke) and Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) recall their second honeymoon. Rob dresses up for champagne and caviar in their hotel suite, while Laura soaks in the tub. But she gets her big toe stuck in the faucet and the bathroom door is locked. Eventually, Rob grabs the gun of the hotel detective, shoots the lock off the door, and collapses in giggles at the sight that greets him off-camera: a wet, naked Laura. After a commercial, the camera goes inside the bathroom, but — big tease — Moore is now wrapped in a raincoat. WITNESS: Series creator Carl Reiner confesses, “I particularly enjoyed this show because it gave leave for every American male to envision a nude Mary, desperately trying to cover herself with a washcloth.”
