He even went to the records to talk about coloring his show, when asked, 'how the idea came together for creating “The Dick Van Dyke Show – Now In Living Color!?' Carl answered,
"Whoever got the idea wasn’t me, but I thought it was a great idea. During the course of the show, at one point they said we can go to color. All of us got together and said, “How much will it cost?” We all decided against it because we wouldn’t have gotten profits for years. We were wrong. Now we finally see it in color and it looks sensational."
Furthermore, he even published his recent book called "Way Too Busy to Die" in 2017. Considering his works at old age, Reiner is full of energy and expecting to lengthen his old days, enough to see the new President in America after Trump.

I was ready to accept that 72 was the age that I was going to go out! [Laughs] But now here I am approaching 96 . . . and with a new book titled Approaching 96!
