My siblings and I got our dad the first season of the Dick Van Dyke Show for Christmas, and my family has been watching it a lot. Since the show aired in the 1960s, I wasn't too surprised to see a lot of familiar faces from Bonanza on it!

Richard Deacon, who appeared on Bonanza as Captain Shark in "San Francisco," played a regular character on the Dick Van Dyke Show: Mel Cooley, the producer of the show for which Rob is a writer. Mel has a quick temper, and usually when he appears onscreen he's ready to hit the roof about something!
