The Dick Van Dyke Show

1961–1966CBSComedy

A man walking into his own living room and either tripping over the ottoman or stepping neatly around it — two versions shot, and the network alternated them.

Season 1

35s

The 1961 opening on its own, in which Van Dyke trips over the ottoman.

Season 2

20s

The 1962 opening, half the length, in which he sidesteps it. The show alternated the two gags for the rest of its run.
