Early this morn, I embedded a video of my favorite episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show. What I didn't know is that hulu, the company that hosts these videos, is not accessible outside the U.S. About a dozen folks from other lands wrote to ask which episode I'd embedded. Answer: "It May Look Like a Walnut."
In truth, there are at least a dozen episodes of that series I could have identified as my favorite and not have been fibbing by too much: The one where Laura went on the game show and told the world that Alan Brady was bald…the one where Mel Cooley was fired…the one about Buddy's practical joking…the one where the writers almost went to work for a snail…and others I could mention. But this week, the one about the walnuts is my favorite.
