40 Years Later and Still Trippin'

After nearly forty years, they're coming back for one more show!

That's right! Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Rose Marie, and Carl Reiner, stars of the original "Dick Van Dyke Show" have reunited for the show's "159th Episode," which will air May 11th on CBS. Series regulars Larry Mathews (Richie) and Ann Morgan Guilbert (Millie Helper) will also return. Sadly, Morey Amsterdam, who played Buddy, died in 1996.

Although the "Dick Van Dyke Show" remains a favorite, the last original episode appeared in 1966! That will all change when the new episode airs on May 11th. In the new episode, Rob, who's still married to Laura, gets a phone call from his old boss, Alan Brady who wants Rob and Sally to write his eulogy.

Ray Ramano (Everybody Loves Raymond) will host the episode which will feature clips from the original "Dick Van Dyke Show" episodes.

Who knows, maybe if this new episode is well received, they'll come back in another 40 years and do another!
