A [[Sitcom]] that aired on [[CBS]] from 1972-1978 and was the forerunner to two of [[Bob Newhart]]'s other sitcoms, ''[[Newhart]]'' and ''[[Bob!]]''. It was a top-rated success at the time, and has quietly earned classic status since. Produced by David Davis and Lorenzo Music as a deliberate complement to ''[[The Mary Tyler Moore Show]]'' (an established hit produced by the same studio, MTM Enteprises, and immediately preceding it in CBS' Saturday-night lineup), it shared much the same format: drop a bunch of wacky character actors into a professional setting and hire an established star as their [[Straight Man]].
Line 16 ⟶ 15:
This was actually the ''[[Name's the Same|second]]'' show Newhart did that was called ''The Bob Newhart Show''. The first was a [[Variety Show]] that aired for one season from October 1961 to June 1962.
