Trivia:
Carl Reiner and the other writers were very careful not to use any 1960s slang in the show's scripts. In fact, references to any time period or current events are very few and far between. Even the Beatles are never mentioned despite the fact that Beatlemania was at its peak while the show was in production. As a result, the show has not become dated over time and the episodes are still as fresh as they were when they were first aired. more

Even with the twin beds, it's still the best sitcom ever!, 5 April 2005
Author: ebrennem from United States

I guess the most dated item on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" are those silly twin beds in Rob and Laura's bedroom. This had to be one of the last sitcoms to feature such absurdities.

Regardless, "The Dick Van Dyke Show" is the best sitcom ever! The writing, characterizations, and timing are flawless. Few sitcoms since the mid '60's have measured up to the quality of this series. None have surpassed it.

Be thankful for the incredible 5-season DVD set. This set has been a long time coming, but the wait has been worth it. The DVDs will help preserve the greatness of this show into the 21st century.
