Artist, subject, muse, canvas, brush, palette, jam jar full of murky water, thick green wax crayon with inexplicable brown bits in it - Barry Van Dyke is all of these and none. This year we celebrate Barry’s lasting influence on the world of art and arting.
To mark the 43rd anniversary of the year Barry saved literally some TV series from cancellation, the Official™ Barry Van Dyke 1980 Calendar 2023 is a celebration of his work in the final seasons of some of TV's most iconic shows. So successful they didn't need to make any more!
DECEMBER
This Christmas, Barry Van Dyke stars as Ebenezer Sloan, an independently successful man haunted by a former colleague who just won’t leave him alone to get on with his own career.
NOVEMBER
For the Trump presidency's lower-budget fourth year, Barry stepped into the starring role to save the day like he had so many times before. Once again, Barry’s single year was so successful that there was no need for any more!
She was such a raconteur, entertaining us with her stories of the golden age of Hollywood, working on such classics as ‘A Mitten for the Countess’ and ‘That’s My Arse’. Extraordinary lady. Very hairy wrists, like a couple of furry bracelets.
Such fond memories of working with dear #AngelaLansbury on our crossover episode. Unfortunately she was in the throes of a crippling helium addiction at the time and none of the footage could be used. It took a six-legged mule to drag her down from the ceiling.
