Oh My Gosh I loved this episode, the only thing missing was Ross Martin as Artemus Gordon. I almost wish they had saved this script for when he came back. Them going back to the academy was so great and the tests they put Jim West (Robert Conrad) through was a little funny, almost like they do someitmes in movies and today's tv shows when someone goes back to the FBI or CIA academy. It was interesting though that Jeremy Pike (Charles Aidman) was able to do a disguise and fool people at the academy, you would think someone would see through that, it made them seem very stupid. It is also interesting that they use hand stamps under a light that have been used by various bars and such for many years, this made me chuckle remembering getting stamps like that too.

Wow I had never seen this before, and loved every minute. Tonight on the Catchy Comedy channel they were showing this little seen pilot episode of the "Dick Van Dyke Show", with the only actor I recognized being the late Carl Reiner. I loved seeing this pilot with them saying Petrie different, and even different actors playing the beloved Sally and Buddy. But I do feel having Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam were so much the better choice their interactions really made the show a lot better. I think all the changes that were made make the show so much better, even the character of Ritchie. Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore are also such improvements as Rob and Laura in the show with Carl taking up the reins as Alan, and the great addition that was not in the pilot was Richard Deacon as Mel.

I do not really understand, In S2E11 Lucy's College Reunion they went to Lucy's College Reunion to show Chris the campus, so how did Lucy graduate college without having a high school degree???

I mean I know this was made back in the 1960's but wow continuation really was not great, also you would think working for a bank they would have checked all of that before she started working there. How did she get the job working for Mr. Mooney in the other bank if she did not have a High School Diploma???

I guess they were running out of things to do by this season or why else do this. I think I will rate this one a 6.
