“Carl Reiner would often ask cast and crew members about funny things that had happened to them, then he would write whole episodes about these occurrences. As a result, a majority of the episodes over the course of the show’s five season run were based on actual events. For the first three seasons of the show, Alan Brady’s face was never seen but his voice was occasionally heard, because Carl Reiner wanted to get a big star to play Alan. Reiner eventually decided to take on the role himself as the newest on-screen star.” Rest in Peace Carl Reiner (March 20, 1922 – June 29, 2020), The Legendary Creator of The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966)
Rear Window (1954) + Edward Hopper
