Tonight's Top Pick is Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic, airing on CBS-CBS-CBS. It feels like there should be a colon there, but c'est la vie. I'm just so happy they're doing this. As I've mentioned before, I wanted Rob Petrie's life when I was a little boy watching Nick at Nite. And Mary Poppins is one of my all-time favorites.
