All of us involved say 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was the best five years of our lives. We were like otters at play.

I've had a lot of writers, in particular, who said they got into writing because of the 'Van Dyke Show.' They said it looked like fun.

'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was the most fun I ever had and the most creative period of my life.

I think, the 'Van Dyke Show' and 'Mary Poppins' are two of the best periods of my life. I had so much fun, I didn't want it to end.

A purpose of our lives is to broaden what we can understand and say and therefore be.

But it was hard to leave because the show's been so important in our lives.
