Wow. One of the funniest guys ever! Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

I was thinking about Bob just a couple of days ago, and yes, he was a genuinely funny man. I watched The Bob Newhart Show when it aired on CBS in the 1970s (paired with The Mary Tyler Moore Show), and I was also a faithful fan of Newhart in the 1980s. | |||

Just saw this online. Truly a great comedic talent. Ninety-four years old, heck of a run. Best series finale ever with Newhart. “Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.” ― John Adams "Fire can be our friend; whether it's toasting marshmallows, or raining down on Charlie." - Principal Skinner. | |||

I was thinking of him just the other day - happened to see an old photo of Suzanne Pleshette and was thinking about what an unlikely couple they were on the show a truly funny gentleman one of my favorite skits... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0SICqoBevs | |||

My dad brought home what I believe to be his first comedy album, The Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart, sometime back in the 60s. If you’ll indulge me with one of the bits from it. He was funny, he was clean, he was great as a tv actor too. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

One of my all-time favs. He was so deadpan compared with a lot of other comedians of his time. He could make you laugh without using a single cuss word. The final scene of Newhart: | |||

Damn, he was a really funny guy. I also watched him in the 70's and loved his appearances on the Big Bang Theory. | |||

"Button Down Mind" was perhaps the first LP my family owned for our then-new Hi-Fi. We played it so much that listening to USS Codfish, I remembered every line as if it was played yesterday. Oh, and "DONT' PULL OUT!!!" This message has been edited.

As a kid, a big fan of Mary Tyler Moore followed by Bob Newhart. Great comedian, he lived a full life.

Deadpan is right, if he didn’t invent it he sure did perfect it. Sad to hear. Godspeed Sir… Mike | |||

I thought the ending to the Newhart show was among the best I've ever seen! I also liked his performance in 1962's "Hell is for Heros" as Pvt Driscoll; he got to do one of his 'telephone' routines and it worked very well in the film. I thought it was very nice of the "NCIS" writers to have him do a 'telephone' number in the 2011 episode where he played Dr. Magnus. It was a sad and poignant episode with his character developing dementia. | |||

Me too. I always remember Howard, the insecure airline captain. And the British guy and his kippers. Two days ago I opened a tin of King Oscar Kipper Snacks, which reminded me of him. At the time I lived in the Twin Cities, which was Mary Tyler Moore-ville. Serious about crackers | |||

| Do---or do not. There is no try. |
Really a big loss. He was really a comic genius and by all accounts a great person. | |||

I currently watch both on cable every night. Great stuff! Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

His humor always hit just right for me. One of the best for sure. | |||

He had a good series of appearances on the Big Bang Theory, too! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
