The Dick Van Dyke Show
Harrison B. Harding of Camp Crowder, Mo.
The Petries are surprised when Harrison B. Harding (Allan Melvin), who says he's an old friend of Rob's, drops in for a visit. No one is more surprised than Rob, who has no recollection of Harding whatsoever. A subsequent series of curious events, capped by the disappearance of Rob's watch, convinces our hero that Mr. Harrison B. Harding is actually a con artist and a thief! This episode was originally telecast as a special on Monday evening, November 6, 1962, right after a Danny Kaye special, as a ploy to boost the ratings of The Dick Van Dyke Show, which was then languishing in a little-watched Tuesday night time slot. (Trivia note: According to TV Guide, the episode originally scheduled to air on November 6 was "To Tell or Not to Tell," which wasn't seen until November 14.) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
