The Dick Van Dyke Show

4 1/2 - S4-E8

Factual error: When Rob climbs up the elevator shaft, he comments on how greasy it is, and when he jumps back into the elevator, he wipes his hands on his shirt but not a bit of grease shows on his clean white shirt.

4 1/2 - S4-E8

Character mistake: Rob tells the people that are about to get on the elevator "my wife is expecting a baby!" In all the other episodes where "she's expecting a baby" as well... No change in stomach size at all! Not a single sign of pregnancy... (After 12-16 weeks it starts to show that the baby is there.) Even before Richie was born, still flat as a pancake.

Rob Petrie: At least I'll prove one thing tonight: Television writers marry the prettiest girls.

Season 4 generally

Trivia: During the fourth season, actress Rose Marie suffered the tragic loss of her husband to whom she had been married for 20 years. Amidst her mourning, Marie felt that the grief and pain of loss was too much to bear and wanted to leave the show entirely, just before the fifth and final season. John Rich, one of the show's directors, was there to console her and convince her to come back and finish out the remainder of the show.
