I'm glad to hear this. I've always liked him and The Dick Van Dyke show is still one of the best.

Best wishes to he and his bride.

Quote:

After losing his longtime partner, Van Dyke is newly engaged -- not surprisingly -- to a woman with a healthy knowledge of classic TV trivia -- and a sense of humor, Lee Cowan reported on "CBS This Morning."

And in retirement, Van Dyke hasn't stopped singing. Fans will be glad to know his hobby is a quartet called the Vantastix that, Cowan remarked, has kept him pretty spry.

But he's not shy about reliving the best years of his life -- they went by too fast, he says.

"I can't believe it," Van Dyke said. "I don't know where the time went. I still feel like a kid."

It's interesting to note that Van Dyke was once at the newsdesk at the "CBS Morning News" back in 1955, a young, handsome and earnest face that was fresh to television.

"Walter Cronkite was my newsman," Van Dyke recalled. "Can you believe that?"

But Van Dyke said he wasn't really suited for the job. "I was the worst. The worst," Van Dyke said. "I just was no good at it all, because live television -- things can go wrong. And they did."

I wonder whether they will have separate beds like they did on the TV show. Can you imagine being married to a young Mary Tyler Moore and being required to have a separate bed? That's not right.

You said Dick and Dyke in the same sentence.

Remember how folks got all hot and bothered about the 40 year age difference between the girl who shot the home invader and her husband? I don't see anyone getting in a tizzy over DVD marrying somebody 45 years his junior. What gives?
