In 1963, Of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”'s characters, Rob Petrie was the one who usually kept his head, while Sally, Buddy, Laura, and Mel were losing theirs all around him. Thatʹs a big part of the appeal of this utterly surreal episode, in which Rob seems to be losing not just his head but his imagination — and both his thumbs. He stays up late one night watching a thriller about an alien from the planet Twilo who wants to take over the world. The extraterrestrial has eyes in the back of his head, eats walnuts, speaks with a British accent, and looks just like Danny Thomas — in fact, the creature is played by Thomas himself, who, insiders know, co-owned the company that created “The Dick Van Dyke Show”. People who are exposed to Absorbitron, a chemical the alien possesses, lose their thumbs and their imaginations. When Rob wakes up the next morning, he finds the living-room carpet strewn with walnuts. In the kitchen, a smiling Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) opens an egg carton and offers him a walnut omelette for breakfast. At work, Buddy (Morey Amsterdam) is eating walnuts, not his usual pistachios, and there are walnuts in Robʹs typewriter. Is Rob, pardon the expression, cracking up? He thinks so — until he wakes up from his nutty nightmare. Seventeen-hundred walnuts were used in “It May Look Like a Walnut”; the ones that didnʹt open on cue were sent back, and that is what executive producer Sheldon Leonard wanted to do with the extravagant script when he first read it. But when Leonard saw how well the inventive walnut episode played in front of an audience, he gave it the thumbs-up.
