There's a long story about this episode, how the cast wasn't too thrilled about it -- but it's still fun to watch. Above all, it's a neat time capsule of the 60s, a take off on the Twist in a goofy sort of way.
Sally is the hero here, discovering new talent Jerry Lanning at a bowling alley? Lanning is a singer who has come up with a new dance called the "Twizzle,' and she wants everyone from the tv show to come over and see this guy do his thing.
You have to admit, watching Dick Van Dyke and the gang dance is pretty funny, not to miss Mel Cooley (Richard Deacon). The episode has its moments, and was supposed to be a showcase for Broadway singer and actor Jerry Lanning. Lanning later played a lead role in the tv series, TEXAS.
Also in the cast is Jack Albertson, and in a bit part as one of the bowlers, Jack Berle, brother of comedian Milton Berle. Written by Carl Reiner, who just let it roll. I think Rose Marie had the most fun of the entire cast.
Dedicated to all us 60s rock n' rollers.
