I finally got to see this great tribute to Dick Van Dyke who was about to celebrate his 98th birthday when his wife surprised him with this special with various celebrities who grew up with him giving him glowing tributes and performing many of his famous musical numbers from Mary Poppins, Bye Bye Birdie, and, of course, "The Dick Van Dyke Show". Some of the most moving tributes came from Rob Reiner, whose father Carl Reiner gave Dick his TV break, Carol Burnett who gave an anecdote about her and Dick playing old folks improvising on his variety show, and Julie Andrews who told of how charming he was in her first movie Mary Poppins. Those last two weren't there on stage, only video taped elsewhere. In other words, "Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic" was a Jolly Holliday!

I have probably been a fan my whole life. He is certainly one cool dude. Heard a couple of songs I hadn't heard before. Mary Poppins & Chitty Chitty Bang are two of my favorites. I have only seen part of the Dick Van Dyke Show and found it very entertaining. I vaguely remember the variety show he had. I loved Diagnosis Murder, which they didn't feature much.

I didn't realize Jason Alexander could sing.

It would have been nice to hear from his children & grandchildren.

As for Julie Andrews, she doesn't sing anymore due to a botched operation she had after doing Victor/Victoria on Broadway. It makes me sad. I'm a big fan of hers too.

What an absolutely wonderful show. Perfectly assembled, great numbers, so full of joy. Sometimes when you watch shows like this the entertainers that appear seem to be going through the motions, just looking for personal publicity. But in this case was absolutely clear how much they appreciated being there it was just so dripping with good cheer. Dick Van Dyke's happiness at being there was just overwhelming. A day later I'm still enjoying it. He has brought so much ,entertainment (even Diagnosis Murder!) to our lives for 60 years. He has outlived all of greats he ever knew, but still manages to have a joyful outlook. Outstanding!
