Gone too soon. RIP.

I loved (and still do) the Dick Van Dyke Show.

Carl would have appreciated that dry humor.

Sad to see him go, but he had a wonderful run; we should all be so lucky!

Aw, man... My heart is breaking. I was a big fan of his.

He was just tweeting, yesterday. No indication of not being well. I hope his end was swift and painless.

RIP

That's a good long life. Amazingly I just showed All Of Me, which he directed, to my family this weekend (it streams on HBO Max) and they all loved it. That movie still holds up well.

The Dick Van Dyke Show is arguably the greatest sitcom of all time. It was a total game changer with an equal focus on Rob Petrie's home and work lives (and how they sometimes intersected). The writing was far more sophisticated than the sitcoms that had come before, and the talent on both sides of the camera was phenomenal.

And Carl Reiner worked on both sides of the camera on the show. His writing was fantastic, and his acting was genius.

I will always think of Carl Reiner as the creator and main writer for the Dick Van Dyke Show - and as the egotistical, but talented, Alan Brady on the show.

His work after the show was really good, too. He was amazingly talented.

98's pretty darned good, though. He had a great run.

Still, he will be missed.

Also a member of the greatest team of comedy writers in history :

I know 98 is way up there, but I thought he was older than that.

I always hate to see another legend from the golden age of TV pass on.
The Dick Van Dyke show along with The Andy Griffith Show are two of the best sitcoms to come from the 60's. Guess it didn't hurt that both shows had the same production team.

RIP Carl.

Was he serious? Why does he like The Net?

Okay I looked it up. They guy had a crush on Sandra Bullock. Hell, who doesn’t?

I thought he was 2,000 years old.

Sad news. I grew up watching The Dick Van Dyke Show. It was always hilarious. As a kid, I always thought his real name was Alan Brady and was always confused when I saw him referred to as Carl Reiner.

I’ll also add that although the 3rd Act is a little rough, The Jerk is a classic and has some of the most quotable lines ever.

And they may not be considered “classics” but I watched both Summer Rental and Summer School more than I care to admit when I was younger. In fact, I just re-watched Summer Rental last week for the first time in probably 25 years.

Antenna TV will be showing an episode of The Tonight Show, featuring Reiner, tonight (6/30).

That show has held up remarkably well. One of the top 10 best comedies of all-time IMO.

such a genius. launched many careers. brilliant everything, but always a funny man. he will be sadly missed. Rob and fam must be crushed.

Whenever I think of Carl Reiner, this is what I think of (and he's hardly in the bit). They had a great, clever idea for a Christmas episode - the writers and producers of the show would be the stars of a special Christmas episode of The Alan Brady Show, and Alan would be the host. It remains one of the greatest Christmas episodes ever, and this bit gets stuck in my head every time I hear, read, or think of the name Carl Reiner (or Alan Brady)...

Reiner was in one my favorite 60's comedy movies, GUIDE FOR A MARRIED MAN.

Opened this thread to post this Twitter thread. Well worth the read. Carl, thank you for some of the finest comedy in American history, and the still greatest sitcom.

RIP - the comedy was golden. Thank you.

Good move by CBS.

Very cool. I know both episodes well. (Hell, I know almost all of them VERY well.) Great stuff!

I'll definitely watch!

Dalton Ross went on a big rant today about how terrible the colorized versions are since they don't represent the original product. He said that if you can't appreciate them in the original B&W version, then you have no right in watching them.
