Chaplin Inspires Dick Van Dyke Show Opening

Everyone who has seen the Dick Van Dyke show knows the opening sequence where he comes into his house and trips over the ottoman, but did you know where he got the idea?

Charlie Chaplin had performed the exact gag in the movie Modern Times in 1931.

  1. Did Van Dyke ever say that is where he got his inspiration?
