Old and Newhart



Brian and I love watching entire television series from start to stop. Now we are watching serial seasons of The Bob Newhart Show which is some good clean fun, you should try it. I liked this show a long, long time ago but seeing it now I really relate to the relationship between Bob and his wife Emily. Brian pokes me and says, That's you! and Bob is so Brian, cracking jokes with a straight face and always maddeningly calm in marital conflict. They look much the same in a suit after a long day at the office, too (Bob used to seem so old). Brian finds the opening credits tune particularly danceable.

  2. Wow! This is so weird. Dad and I just got this from the library. We used to watch this on prime time TV. How 'bout them plaid pants? We never dressed like that. Do you recognize Emily? She's the teacher in The Birds. Wait till you see the one where Jerry keeps telling Bob to open wider. It's a scream.

    Love,

    M.
