North Alabama remains quiet as a mouse, while showers have formed to the

LOL Hilarious! This show was on before I could truly appreciate it, but over the years I catch it every time I can in reruns.
Great stuff! You made my day.
I so remember this show--Hilarious!
I LOVED that show! So funny~
I hadn't seen the link. Thank you.
Newhart, you know, is a Chicago guy -- St. Ignatius High School, Loyola University. He was originally an accountant. Many years later, Loyola conferred an award on Newhart, the "Sword of Loyola." Carson's interview of Newhart concerning this honor was about the second funniest thing I ever saw: Carson trying to out-blink and out-dry the Master... the transcript of the conversation would be like a Stallone script... only a couple of words on each page.
Oh... and the funniest thing?
That would be the end of the final episode of the series you've culled this clip from. There's a fade to black, then Bob wakes up in bed next to Suzanne Pleshette... well, let me quote the Wikipedia explanation: "Newhart's last episode ended with a scene in which Newhart wakes up in bed with Suzanne Pleshette, who had played Emily, his wife from The Bob Newhart Show. He realizes (in a satire of a famous plot element in the TV series Dallas a few years earlier) that the entire eight-year Newhart series had been a single nightmare of Dr. Bob Hartley's, provoked by 'eating too much Japanese food before going to bed.' Recalling Mary Frann's buxom figure, Bob closes the segment and the series by telling Emily, 'You should really wear more sweaters.' before the typical closing notes of the old Bob Newhart Show theme played over the fadeout. The twist ending was later chosen by TV Guide as the best finale in television history."
