Proto-Liz Lemon Rob Petrie juggled his duties as head writer of the Sid Caesar-inspired Alan Brady Show and husband of ex-dancer Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) in Carl Reiner's seminal sitcom. Briskly-paced, insightful, and just as sharp today as it was in the '60s, Dick Van Dyke isn't just a classic — it's the urtext for every meta-series that follows in its stead. (Naturally, the series ends with Reiner's Brady planning to turn Rob's memoirs into a TV show.) — Hillary Busis
