For Better or Werts : TV Worth Watching

DVD DEAL: 'Dick Van Dyke' complete!

The entire run of The Dick Van Dyke Show on DVD for less than $75? Now that's a deal.

Sorry to be so late posting on it, but it's Tuesday's gold box goodie from Amazon.com, so grab it today only.

That's all five seasons of one of the tube's most enduring comedies, uncut in crystal clear '60s black-and-white, with gobs of great extras tenaciously assembled by ace DVD producer Paul Brownstein (The Twilight Zone) -- cast interviews, commentaries, the original unsold pilot (starring creator Carl Reiner instead of Van Dyke!), original cast commercials and Emmy footage, promos and more.

The list price for The Dick Van Dyke Show complete series is $250, and Amazon reports its regular price at more than $180 -- so grab it Tuesday while you can.

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
