This was a great investment. I am more entertained by these old shows than by 95% of what is on TV today. The editing is a bit choppy, but I'm assuming that is due to the time it was filmed to begin with. Great buy!

Oh Bob.

I always loved the Newhart show, but never got to experience The Bob Newhart Show. It's a start and you can see as it goes on the characters developing. I'm almost halfway through and I can see Suzanne's character change to what we all remember her as, so savvy, not the typical housewife. One thing I do notice, the interaction and admiration between the husband and wife. As far as the other characters I am not too impressed, you see too much of the airline navigator/neighbor stopping by too much and too much of Jerry Robinson, the Dentist. It's usually Bob's patients that will generally make you laugh and I hope to see more of them in the upcoming seasons. I am not so happy with the way it was restored. The color seems very brown and the audio is terrible compared to most shows, but it is the 1st season. And as far as I can see, no great special features on this one. But like I said, it's a start and part of a collection set to improve.

I loved this sit-com when it was on TV. It is still just as funny. I am enjoying viewing all the episodes again.

I never missed this show....

Whenever this show aired, I was in front of the tube. This was must not miss television. Bob Newhart's character was so hilariously understated against a cast of wonderfully oddball characters--Howard the neighbor, Mr. Carlin(the best of the recurring patients), Jerry the orthodontist, and others. And who could forget a ravishing young Suzanne Pleshette(another great reason to watch this show, at least for me!).If you cannot enjoy this series you are humor impaired.

Great Laughs with Bob and Suzanne.

I remember enjoying this show when I was young but had forgotten what a great comedian Bob Newhart was on this show. Suzanne Pleshette is lovable as Emily and together they are very entertaining.
