    And I just found out we can add William Fruet, Canadian director of 27 episodes of the TV show "Goosebumps" (1995-1998) - he turned 90 today!

    He also directed episodes of the TV shows "Friday the 13th," "War of the Worlds," and "The Zack Files."

    Has anyone seen the new promo on MeTV of Dick singing the lyrics to The
    Dick Van Dyke Show? Way cool I thought (and I wasn't aware there were
    ever any lyrics, didn't know if he or someone else at MeTV just made
    them up on the spot).

    Morey Amsterdam wrote the lyrics to the theme back at the time. Dick
    Van Dyke's sung them more than once during interviews and
    retrospectives. (Back when, it was generally believed that music
    couldn't be copyrighted if it didn't have lyrics. This was wrong, but everybody thought so anyway.)

    Morey had a few hits back in the day, although not without controversy.
    Cf. the song "Rum and Coca-Cola." The story is told in lawyer Louis
    Nizer's My Life in Court.

    I never would have guessed Amsterdam wrote those lyrics. Obviously they
    didn't impress Carl Reiner or others in charge of the show that much.
    Earl Hagen composed the theme and it seems as awkward as trying to write
    lyrics to his "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." theme.

    Poor Morey though, he could've probably gotten a big chunk of change in royalties if they'd used them on the show.
