Line 1: {{work}} [[File:BobNewartcast_3822.jpg\|frame\|Hi, Bob!...& Carol & Jerry & Emily & Howard!]] 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. ~~The show will air on [[Family Net]] starting in October 2011.~~ After a few weeks of hype in April 2012 Hallmark Channel suddenly removed the show along with ''[[The Mary Tyler Moore Show]]'' from its schedule after 2 weeks in favor of ''[[Cheers]]'' and ''[[Frasier]]''. {{tropelist}} Line 27 ⟶ 22: * [[All Just a Dream]]: Most of the episode {{spoiler\|"You're Having My Hartley"}} turned out to be a dream. * [[Amicable Exes]]: Howard and his ex-wife. * [[Berserk Button]]: If Bob BBQs a steak for you, do ~~NOT~~''not'' put ketchup on it. * [[Bucket Booby Trap]]: Subverted. Emily and the Peeper's wife rig up one of these for Bob and the Peeper, but it remains balanced atop the door when each of them comes inside. * [[Catch Phrase]]: "Hi, Bob!" Line 36 ⟶ 31: ** In one episode Mimsie is replaced with a cat featured in that story. * [[Deadpan Snarker]]: A Newhart trademark. The supporting characters (especially Emily and Mr. Carlin) often responded in kind. * [[Distant Finale]]: The final scene of Bob Newhart's ''next'' series, ''[[Newhart]]'', revealed that the events of ''Newhart'' were all a dream that Bob Hartley had one night. * [[The Ditz]]: Howard. * [[Drop-In Character]]: Howard. Line 91 ⟶ 87: {{reflist}} {{TV Guide's 50 Greatest}} [[Category:Comedy Series]] [[Category:Work Com]]
