The man was and forever will be a legend!
So much that could be said about the amazing life of Bob Newhart. Coming up in the Eighties I loved his sitcom Newhart. Then later I discovered his earlier series The Bob Newhart Show. And after that I came upon his comedy albums, like his 1960 debut The Button-Down Mind Of Bob Newhart.
The guy just shined in everything that he did. He was always a class act. Modern comics could learn a lot from Bob Newhart's style and demeanor.
Well, as noted, a lot could be said about Newhart's life. And there is so MUCH of his body of work to draw from in his memory. So I'll close out this post with a great lil' sketch from several years back. One that has become a classic among those of us who have been involved in the field of mental healthcare.
"STOP IT!!!"
The finale of Newhart was the greatest finale in TV history.
ReplyDeleteI agree!! I watched it when it first aired and the entire episode had me in stitches already but that last scene... genius! That was Bob's beloved wife Ginny who came up with that idea :-)
