Aaron1375 I enjoyed this one a tad bit more than "Newhart". I think it was a bit funnier and never got as strange as did "Newhart" near the end of its also very successful run. I am kind of stunned to see that it was the longer running series of the two. They both have something in common and that is Bob playing a straight man to a bunch of strange situations. His reactions are always priceless whether he is in a session because he is a psychiatrist, or he is picking up the phone and doing one of his saying things that make you really wonder what is going on, on the other end of the phone. The characters that Bob has surrounding him are great too as they are made up of his wife Emily, his next door neighbor, his secretary and his dentist friend at work. Not to mention the strange assortment of patients that frequent his office such as the always fun Mr. Carlin. Just an all around funny show that works on so many levels, a lot of real winners among the shows as well. Like the time Bob and Emily are arguing about his wanting to watch Monday Night Football or his ordering Chinese for Thanksgiving day dinner. The show is full of laughs and is my favorite of Bob Newhart's shows.
Moax429 I'm afraid I must respectfully disagree with everyone else and agree 100% with cwdfwtx's comment.It was bad enough my folks subjected me to this soporific (and that's putting it mildly) sitcom (I was 10 years old when it premiered in 1972), and I had to endure it for the next 5 1/2 years. I was certainly glad when ABC's Saturday night lineup (which included "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island") eventually sent "Bob Newhart" to Cancellation City.Both TV Land and Superstation WGN were very smart to show the reruns at 3:30 A.M. Eastern time; if I ran out of Sominex, all I had to do was turn on "Bob Newhart" and I fell asleep within 10 minutes (this show has a very high "yawn factor").I was also shocked 20th Century Fox (which now owns all the MTM Entertainment shows) recently decided to put the first season of "Bob Newhart" on DVD, and now - GAG! CHOKE! - they announced the second year will be out soon. You can be damn sure I WON'T waste my hard-earned $30 on that, or the first season set!But, if Sominex ever becomes scarce....well, I just hope THAT doesn't happen!
terrencehm Bob Newhart is ans was one of the all time highlights to ever be on TV. This show is classic TV. His straight faced humor had a funny innocence about him and was always classy ans he has a great wit and every day life. I can still see him taking the roof down with his timing and answer's. He also always had great co-stars in Suzanne,Marcia and Bill and the funny guy who was his most recent patient and later did adds for a non butter product. I look forward to receiving the new DVD set in the mail. I hope they decide to also put into DVD his 1980s show which was my favorite comedy of its day too. The one in the Vermont Inn with Larry ,Larry and Darryl and of course the beautiful late Ms.Fran who played his wife. Also Peter Scolari and Miss Duffy were excellent along with Miguel Herrea as Stepahine's Father.God Bless Bob Newhart, I can remember coming in from playing Basketball to watch him on Saturday Nights. His pal the airplane pilot was always funny too. I still love the piano of the Theme Song. Great times in my life.
Brian Washington This was part of the great CBS Saturday night line-up which included "Mary Tyler Moore", "All in the Family". Bob Newhart's deadpan reactions to all the craziness that was going on around him was what helped to make this show special. Its surprising how it never received an Emmy, or for that matter a nomination. Maybe it was because it was part of such a legendary prime time line-up that it got lost in the shuffle. Also, maybe it was due to the fact that it had such a strong ensemble that no one particular member of the cast stood out. Besides Newhart, Suzanne Pleshette, Peter Bonnerz, Marcia Wallace and Bill Daily all made this show what it was, but the funniest character on the show had to be Elliot Carlin. He definitely was one of the most acerbic characters ever created for television. This still is one of the classic situation comedies of its era and it was very much more of an intellectual show.
