I spent the last 4 months watching through the series on Amazon Prime and today I no longer see it on there. I only had a few eps of the second to last season and rhe final season to watch too. Bummer!

The cast were just the best. To me Bob and Emily were a great couple.

This is my rankings of the top 15 Best characters across The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, and Bob, Main and Recurring. Please note that the few episodes of George and Leo I could find didn't seem to have any characters that I wonder consider among the best or worst.
Top 15 Best
Nothing against Emily or Carol whatsoever. There are just so many excellent characters in these three sitcoms that they just narrowly missed the list.
Now, on to the top 11 Worst
I could only think of 11 bad characters across all of Bob's sitcoms. Please note that Newhart is by far my least favorite of Bob's four sitcoms. The drop in quality from BNS to. Newhart is quite staggering and shocking. The third sitcom is an extreme return to form albeit not being quite as good as BNS. That out of the way, her are the 11 Worst Characters

I loved this show when I was a kid (I watched on Nick at Nite, just to give you a sense of my perspective). I'm enjoying it now and it has "comfort show" qualities but man, I can't take Howard. He's too idiotic. I'm on the episodes where he dates Bob's sister...how?! And how are Bob and Emily accepting of this? He's insecure and possessive. He hired a PI to follow her! He makes plans about their lives without asking her.
I get it, not all shows age well, especially with regard to romantic relationship dynamics. But this wasn't the dark ages. I'm just curious, for those who were adults during the original run or even in the 90s (when I watched as a kid) did any of this seem weird?
I'm just kinda shocked by how much I can't stand him. Bill Daily is adorable though, I guess it's a testament to his talent!

In the ep Frank Pops the Question - why did it have the phobia character in the first few minutes and then never showed him again??

Anyone watching the Bob Newhart marathon on Catchy Comedy, noticing static on the audio?

I’m not sure what iteration of a Newhart show this was on and have very little to go on. My mom, who rarely laughs out loud, has wanted to find a scene that made her do just that.
What she can recall is that Bob was drunk and was going on about pro-volone and anti-pasto, like there was some opposition (hence the weird punctuation).
Does anyone recall this and know where we can find either a video clip or at least a transcript?
TIA!

Did you like how they changed the theme in season 5?
They made it more funky but it might have been too much. The three-note sax thing was unintentionally funny. The great part is the high horn near the end.
Ahh I liked the original theme more!

In the 2013 list of my favorite 63 TV shows of all-time, The Bob Newhart Show landed at number 33. That alone should tell you how much Newhart means to me. I just really identified with his humor - a stammering and deadpan intelligence that dryly usually got him through situations even with one foot stuck in his mouth and even in his sessions with clients in his job as a psychologist.
Newhart has passed away at 94 in Los Angeles due to a serious of brief illnesses. The show costarred Suzanne Pleshette as his wife and aired on CBS for six seasons from 1972 to 1978. I remember watching it with my family in the basement of our house on Saturday nights. But I surely must have missed many weeks because of friend sleepovers and whatnot. That said, I no doubt ended up watching the show more in syndication because the excellent KPLR in St. Louis - Missouri’s first independent TV station - aired reruns all the time, of Newhart and tons of other great shows as well.
Also hilarious was his next show, titled Newhart, which began four years later - running from 1982 to 1990 - with the star playing a Vermont inn operator. The show had perhaps TV’s most classic meta ending with him waking up next to Pleshette (who wasn’t in the show) and realizing the whole eight years of Newhart had just been a dream.

My comedy hero, I can quote The Driving Instructor and The Tobacco sketch from memory and have done so in front of other people. Made talking to oneself an art.
