April 29, 2004 -- ROB Petrie must have done OK after leaving the employ of Alan Brady in 1966. In CBS's new, updated edition of "The Dick Van Dyke Show," the Petries - Rob (Dick Van Dyke) and his wife, Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) - live in a Manhattan apartment that's so huge, there's enough room for Laura to run a dancing school for little girls in it.

It's a pretty nice pad for a TV writer, but unfortunately, this one-hour nostalgic special - premiering Tuesday, May 11, at 9 p.m. on CBS/2 - sheds no light on what Rob might have written in the intervening years that would enable him to afford a West Side penthouse of Seinfeldian proportions.
The Petries' Manhattan home - where they've lived for 20 years, according to the special - is a far cry from the modest, but comfortable home they inhabited in New Rochelle on the old "Dick Van Dyke Show," which ran for five seasons on CBS (1961-66).
