Blooper Reel from Season 1

[jehobden]

Someone has posted a blooper reel from season 1 to youtube.com:

The reel is a lot of fun, and it's something that was not included in any of the DVD releases. Director John Rich can be heard in the background a few times too. Warning, the reel is uncensored, but it is a lot of fun to see.

Thanks for sharing that! At about 2:30 into the clip, there's a scene with Marty Ingels and I think Yvonne Craig that I don't recognize at all. Does anyone know what this scene is from?

My system sucks. I can get it for about 2 seconds each time before it buffers. Is there anyway that someone can transfer it to Quicktime for me?

This is the only scene that confused me as well. Marty Ingels appeared twice in season 1 as Sol, once in "Oh How We Met..." and also in "Sol and the Sponsor". I can't find any listing for Yvonne Craig on the show at all. The woman could have possibly been Patty Regan, who played Sol's date in "Sol and the Sponsor", but I don't think so. The woman also mentioned something about a jury, so that made me think of "One Angry Man", but Marty Ingels didn't appear in that ep. Can anyone else help us out on this one?

That was fun! I wish we had more footage like that!

Thanks for posting! That was SOOOO much fun to watch. :D

...Sue Ann Langdon in "One Angry Man", not Patty Regan.

There was a "blooper reel" produced every season for the cast and crew to enjoy, after the final episode of the season wrapped production....I've seen the 1963-'64 reel, opening with the show's title and 'production' title, "Little Ritchie Gets Laid". Oh, you'll be seeing that soon, I'll bet! I've noticed that Carl Reiner preferred to work behind the scenes with his "rug" off, as most scenes of him as "Alan Brady" (with his back to the camera, before 1964) and the other "eccentric" characters he appeared as from time to time usually show him "unadorned". However, in all of his PUBLIC appearances outside of the show, the "rug" stayed on. After filming "Coast-To-Coast Big Mouth", he wore it as he saw fit....like a hat.

:lol:

Thanks for the blooper link. Funny stuff.

All of those clips (except the Mel Cooley expletive clip) can also be found on an unauthorized half-hour VHS videotape distributed many years ago called "From The Cutting Room Floor". Highly recommended (if you can find a copy). :)

And the Marty Ingels scene has me stumped too. It's from a scene that most certainly never aired during the run of the series. Strange indeed.

Ive wondered that too... That has to be from another show. Didnt Marty do another Carl Reiner show?

Here's the explanation about the oddball Marty Ingels clip.....

Thanks alot, David VP, for clearing that up!

...."I'M DICKENS, HE'S FENSTER" was also filmed at Desilu during the same period tells me that Carl might have "convinced" Leonard Stern (the producer of Ingels' series) to let him "borrow" that clip for his blooper reel.

Marty Ingels never appeared on "THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW" again, after his two guest apperances as "Sol", because he insisted on giving the production crew a hot dog cart as a gift- in his autobiography, he said that the extravagance and his "eccentric" attitude in giving it to the show convinced Reiner and Leonard to steer clear of Marty from then on.

WTF???

:confused:

This makes no sense whatsoever. Just because Marty was extremely nice and generous toward TDvDS crew, this meant that Marty was to be shunned from then on????

Yeah, that's logical. :rolleyes:

Perhaps the Van Dyke execs were scared to death that Marty might surprise the cast with Cadillacs if they were to allow him to guest-star another time. And who the heck would want a catastrophe like that to occur?!

~ sarcastic smirk goes in this general area ---> :) ~

[octobereve]

LOL Yeah, I don't get it either. Maybe they thought he was really psycho?

[MillieHelper]

Ive read or heard somewhere that he didnt get along with his stepson David Cassidy. I guess Marty was very open and outspoken and David didnt appreciate his opinions.

wow it's so weird seeing a dvds cast member cuss!

Big Bad Brady,
It's my belief that this is one of the reasons most of the bloopers ended up in the garbage or locked away. I'll bet Carl thought it might change the public perception of the show if we saw the cast using profanity, and I think this cast, like it or not, spoke with a "curly tongue," and often. For those who do so, it's a natural reflex, especially when they make a mistake. Even the word, "blooper" comes from the word "bleep", which was the old way of covering up profanity on tape or film by recording an electronic sound (bleep) over it.
For the record, I'm not sure if it would bother me, because I don't know what was said. To be honest, although I consider myself quite articulate, and clear, precise communication is a part of my job, I can't claim sensative ears or I'd be a hypocrite ("Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry"), but on the other hand, do I really wanna hear "Buddy," "Sally," "Rob," and "Laura" speaking that way? Or worse, making obscene gestures? After say, a two-hour blooper dvd, would I see the character as I always have? Maybe not.
Would you?

I agree with Steve (to a degree) re. the blooper reels. However, the 24 minutes of Van Dyke Show bloopers & outtakes that were made available (via an unauthorized release called "From The Cutting Room Floor") on VHS video in the early 1990s contain absolutely no profanity or salty language of even the mildest nature.

All of the outtakes in that 24-minute video are totally clean...and very fun to see. Not even a "bleeped" word. In one outtake, in fact, it seems as though MTM wants to let out a curse word, but, instead, she says "Oh golly gee". :)

The cast seemed to be fully aware that the camera was a-rolling (even when they knew it would be an outtake). Well, except for the one instance of Richard Deacon letting go with a "BS" at one point during the following batch of clips.....

The full batch of TDvDS bloopers & outtakes would be the only thing that could have made the full-season DVD-Video boxed sets any better, IMHO. :)

By-the-by, I've got a revised review for "The Complete Series" Van Dyke collection at Amazon's new webpage for that product below. (For some reason, Amazon likes to play Musical Webpages with the 5-Season DVD Set. They've twice deleted it from the website. Heaven only knows the reason why.) .....

BTW -- Here's an interesting additional Van Dyke-themed "You Tube" video, with Rob & Company rockin' to an updated musical beat. :) .....

That was great! Thanks for the link. :)

Another person who doesn't get along w/ Marty appears to be Dave Madden from The Partridge Family. I got Dave's autobio from Amazon last year, and Dave said that he couldn't get permission to share any pics of Shirley Jones in the book (which require waivers by everyone in the pics) because "Shirley's husband" (He wouldn't refer to him by name.) would sue him if he did or if he mentioned him by name in his book.
