Dick Van Dyke would have to do the hard slog hosting game shows when he was a struggling actor. When actress Victoria Rowland became pregnant during hiatus, the writers explained Amanda's pregnancy by having her get married to a serviceman who was never seen on the show. The character Doctor Mark Sloan made his first TV appearance in an episode of "Jake and the Fatman." Art imitating life: In the episode "Gangland," it is revealed that Amanda was a foster child, as was the actress who played her, Victoria Rowland. Family affair: Dick Van Dyke's son, daughter, and grandson all appeared in the series.
