448 Bonnie Meadow Road, New Rochelle, New York, the residense
of the Petrie family; Rob, the head writer of "The Alan Brady
Show"; his wife, Laura; and their son Ritchie. Working with
Rob were two other cowriters, the husband-hunting Sally Rogers
and the perpetual wisecracker Buddy Sorrell. Their nemesis at
the office, and the butt of much humor, was balding Mel
Cooley, the pompous producer of "The Alan Brady Show" and
the brother-in-law of its star. Frequently seen were their
next-door neighbors, Dentist Jerry Helper, his wife Millie,
and their young son Freddie.
Early episodes often included flashbacks to Rob and Laura's
courtship, while Rob was still in the army, the early days
of their marriage, and the development of Rob's career.
Classic episodes abounded. Remember when Laura got her toe
stuck in a hotel bathtub? When Rob dreamed about ever-present
walnuts and an alien with no thumbs that looked like Danny
Thomas? The show won four straight outstanding comedy Emmys.
The show was not a success in the beginning.
In December 1958, a pilot was filmed called "Head of the Family"
created, written by, and starring Carl Reiner. The pilot script
focused on TV writer Rob Petrie. The pilot didn't sell.
You can watch that pilot epsiode below.
Over three years later a revamped version with
Dick Van Dyke in the Reiner role was filmed. It struggled
to attract an audience in its first season but was at the top
of the ratings for the remainder of its five-season run.
