June 1, 1966 –
Dick Van Dyke tripped over the ottoman for the last time when CBS aired the last episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Last Chapter on this date.
The Dick Van Dyke Show was the last show to have its entire run filmed in black and white. The show was due to be shot in color after the fifth season (as the 1966-67 television season marked the mandatory color filming/taping of all network prime-time shows), but never happened because of the cast and producers’ decision to end the show after five seasons.
