Ivan bemoaned however that I didn't provide a simple way for future visitors to the blogathon central posts to be able to locate all of my typically Toobworld theories and conjectures about the show. It was only my second time participating in a blogathon (the first beng the Lucy 100th birthday salute a month or so before), and I wasn't sure on the details about how to make it all work. So I'm hoping this post provides that easy research tool.
The following is a list of links to all of my posts about 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' from that day. (There'll be plenty more in the future; it's the type of show, like 'Doctor Who', which can provide plenty of material to work with.) The only two that can be considered in order are the intro post and the one that closed it all down. In between, I've arranged the posts by their topics - beginning with the ones that interested me the most and ending up with the ones that basically were just filler when I was trying to beat the clock.
So if this is your first time in exploring these topics I hope you enjoy and welcome back if you have already read them and just wanted to revisit a few faves (hopefully). And don't forget to click on that banner at the bottom, which will take you back to the collection of TDOY links to all the other participants in this blogathon.
Kicking It All Off
A Tribute To Lennie Weinrib & His Three Roles
This was my favorite of all the posts - a salute to a talented man who made an indelible impression in a role he was cast in only five hours before he filmed it!
Allan Melvin's Many Roles On The Show
Allan Melvin is one of the all-time legends of TV character actors and although his many roles on 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' seem to contradict each other and cause Zonks, he could in fact be the link to 'The Brady Bunch' and to 'Sgt. Bilko'....
Dabbs Greer as the minister
Another of my Top Ten favorite character actors and he can link the series to 'The Brady Bunch' as well, but also to 'Picket Fences'!
Linkin' Goodheart One
Here's what might have been had the series come back for a six season. There's no need to fear.....
Linkin' Goodheart Two
What if Wall Cox's "mom" also appeared in the show?

They always talked about Mel's wife on the show, but did you know she actually showed up in an episode?
Who Played Kolac?
Danny Thomas? What is a Danny Thomas? Certainly not the actor who played the Twiloite leader.....
Buena Sera, Mr. & Mrs. Campbell
A post that combines a lot of characters played by Johnny Silver into one, with the added bonus of Kathleen Freeman's two roles on the show.
