Dick Van Dyke, starring as Dick Presion, host of a local television talk show in Phoenix, Ariz., joins a chimpanzee in blowing smoke rings on the show and thereby inadvertently breaks a non-smoking pact with his wife, his manager, his sister and his manager's wife, on the premiere episode of “The New Dick Van Dyke Show"
Saturday, Sept. 18, 1971 (9:00-9:30 pm, EDT) on the CBS Television Network. With the pact seemingly abrogated, everybody has to fight the urge to start smoking
again. Dick, most of all, appears to be hooked, despite trying some radical remedies to combat the desire, like standing on his head.
