Believe me - I really did try to cut "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961-1966) some serious slack due to its time-frame in television history. But, with that said - I found this particular TV Sit-Com to be far too corny, contrived and predictable (for the most part). And, so, I could only give it an average, 5-star rating at best.
In fact - The only time that I thought that this TV series actually came to life was when (character) Robert Petrie was away from his wife, Laura (a real downer of a woman) and in the office with his cynical, wisecracking co-workers, Buddy and Sally.
Anyway - That just about sums up "The Dick Van Dyke Show" in a nutshell for me.
