I loved his sense of deadpan humor. RIP. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

My number 1 favorite stand up comedy skit is the Driving Instructor. It kills me every time I see it.

He was a great comedian. I think I remember hearing a spiel from him on a radio station that played classics. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

| Back, and to the left  |
Bob will truly be missed. I was always in front of the tv on saturday nights to see those 2 shows (MTM show & Bob Newhart show) back to back with my parents.
BTW, Howard, the next door neighbor, was a navigator. That in itself is a pretty good reminder of just how long ago that was. | |||

While I'm not sure if they ever had scenes together anywhere, I'd really would have liked to see Bob Newhart and Tim Conway together on a Carol Burnett show. | |||

Bob Newhart was one of the greatest comedy teams of all time.  | |||

^^^^ Thanks cas, that was FUNNY! Newhart’s humor was unique. He told Johnnie Carson, “If I lose the stutter I’m out of the business.” Serious about crackers. | |||

I somehow missed this growing up. Great advice.  | |||

He was a funny-talented man. His humor could be missed if you weren't paying attention, a subtle quality you don't see too much of anymore. I enjoyed watching his tv shows over the years. | |||

Newhart (the TV Show) debuted when I was nearly 10, and it's one of the oldest sitcoms I remember from growing up. Very funny man. I also liked his character on The Big Ban Theory. He was 84 thru 89 in those 6 episodes and could still really nail a punchline.

I saw this the other day. I was a big fan of his, I used to watch the Bob Newhart Show in the 1970s. I also loved his humor style, his deadpan delivery. The two comedians I would have loved to have seen in person, Bob Newhart and his friend Don Rickles, have passed away. RIP Bob | |||

RIP Professor Proton. I also enjoyed Newhart in the 80’s as a kid. I really did think he was brilliant in his Big Bang Theory appearances too. Rest in Peace to a good man and talented comedian. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||
