Bob Newhart was never funny. Ever.

Fuck off.

Shut your dirty whore mouth, OP!!!

Philistine

That's not what your Grandma said.

I hate you! And I hate your ass face!

I think you meant Lou Dobbs, OP.

This thread isn't going the way you thought it would, is it, OP?

Nothing more tiresome than a smug contrarian like OP. Just because your opinion is an outlier doesn't make it clever.

Don’t care, R7.

If you want to know about 1970s decor and clothing of white upper middle class people, watch the original Bob Newhart show. Bob and Emily are actually dressed to match the decor

Here’s Teri Garr matching the decor with her outfit

Here’s Emily coordinating her garments with her surroundings

I liked both the Chicago and Vermont shows.

I actually didn’t know who he was, surprisingly.

Imagine hating Bob Newhart.

Nice guy but not that funny-RIP

He was the perennial straight man and victim. He didn’t tell jokes for you to guffaw at but his timing was perfect

Bob Newhart was not funny; he was hilarious. He brought to television smart, dry wit and was surrounded by some of the greatest cast of supporting characters. The man was a comedic legend.

R18- Bob Newhart was as funny as watching paint 🎨 dry.

R19's idea of funny is some Insta Ho doing scare pranks.

What r17 said.

We already heard your keen insight into his humor on the main thread, loser OP.

What an original and hilarious put-down!

You are no doubt a laugh riot, OP.

Well R15 that lack of imagination makes it clear why you think he's a comedic genius.

R8 I'm not trying to be clever, I'm stating a fact.

R26, it is clearly an opinion, which is your right, but hardly a fact. I think the Mona Lisa is a pretty mediocre portrait.

One of the most brilliant finales in television history.

R27 I don't care, I didn't paint it.

OP, isn't it time for another viewing of MEATBALLS 3: SUMMER JOB?

R30 did Newhart write that one? If so I'm sure you're quite familiar with it given how quickly it popped into your empty head.

I KNOW MY RIGHTS! DON'T YOU TOUCH ME!

His work doesn't land well with the likes of OP and many others here, whose tastes run more to slapstick like Adam Sandler gurning his way through 3rd-rate Jerry Lewis schtick, Ernest Goes to Camp, or Paul Blart: Mall Cop. If you're the kind of person who has to get baked before watching a comedy, don't bother with the bone-dry Newhart.

He's Brut Champagne, and your tastes are more Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers.

Suzanne was the best thing about the Chicago show.
