Loved the Dick Van Dyke Show, and still do. Just watched most of the series about 4-5 years ago - might be time to watch again.
Seeing a guy that age who just seems to continue enjoying life sure does feel good.
She would have been 25 at the time the show started, and there was 11 years between the two. Not the norm, but not too weird. Although, if she was playing 25, I guess that would mean she would be about 19-21 when they had Richie -- starting to get a little creepier.
But, hey, we know she was a dancer entertaining the troops when he was in the Army, so it's not like he picked her up in a schoolyard or something.

It was ahead of its time. Although I didn't learn until recently just how young Mary Tyler Moore was at that time.... I think that would qualify as "pretty weird" these days.
