13/13! I love this show. I own every season on DVD and have watched them multiple times!!!! My favorite episodes are the ones where Laura opens Rob's mail--yep the infamous inflatible row boat!!! LOL! She is so funny when that package comes! And I also love the one where they are putting on the show and as she is showing how she would dance and she says "and here is where you turn and sell it with a look"--this is the one with that amazing singer and dancer who really shows her up and Rob ends up putting an act together with the three of them--so good!!!

Now, I'm gonna have to go put on my DVD's again when I get home!

Do I have to admit that I also watched it as a kid -- but seeing the original airings?

This was one of the serendipitous groupings from the "golden age" of television. Reiner wrote about what he knew, Paris directed what he knew, Van Dyke played a variation of Albert, and someone recognized the multi-talented Mary Tyler Moore from a commercial. Throw in two seasoned comics to play the co-workers, and America ate it up. It even let Dick's younger brother springboard to his own starring role -- too bad that "My Mother, the Car" didn't have the writing and directing to make it fly. At least that crew did better with "My Favorite Martian".

"Oh, Rob!"
