This one might surprise you.
One of First Lady Michelle Obama's all-time favorite TV shows is the classic Dick Van Dyke Show which aired from 1961 - 1966. It starred Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore as the sweet but nutty suburban couple Rob and Laura Petrie.
Informed of this, the 84 year-old Van Dyke -- who is currently promoting the 45th anniversary DVD release of his film Mary Poppins -- told CNN, "I've heard that, and I sent them a note and said, 'Thank you for making me famous all over again.' I call them the black Rob and Laura."
