Newhart ~ A Blast from the past!

[SnowHot]

I have been a Bob Newhart fan for a loooooong time, from his original show, to the Newhart(based in Vermont) in the 1980's.

Tonight I was settling in for the evening when, to my surprise, WGN has Newhart on, starting with the first show of the first season!

Did anyone else plan their Monday nights around this program?

No kidding - WGN, huh? Will have to tune in. I not only thought it was a great show, but it has to be in the Top 10 All Time Best Last Episode of a TV Series EVER. Total hilarity!

I'm reminded of phrases I(we) use today that come from that show.

When you meet someone who doesn't "get it" you say, "he's a real daryll"
Hello. My name is Larry, this is my brother daryll and my other brother daryll

If you ever make it to Middlebury, VT, go and visit the Waybury Inn, which was the inn used in the opening credits of the show. It looks a little different now (its tan, not white) but the "Stratford Inn" sign hangs proudly in the hallway between the pub and the main inn. Nice place.

Stephanie and Michael were one of the most hilariously neurotic couples ever on a sit-com ! I just gotta start tuning in to the repeats!!

I had heard that but had forgotten that.
Beautiful area!

I stumbled on it, but I am hoping to find it on the regular schedule.
When/if I do, I'll be sure to post it!

Stephanie and Michael weren't on the other night - don't know if they're showing them in order or not.

They're also showing WKRP, but not in order. So far just the first episode and a couple of the classics.

Weren't Michael and Stephanie in the cast later?

The two I saw were the first two but that doesn't mean anything about how they plan on running them.

I'll just pop my popcorn and wait.

I can't remember how early they came on. We didn't see Larry, Darryl and Darryl yet either, did we? (I missed the first 10 minutes or so).

I just got in from going to the movie with a friend. Just in time to see Newhart on WGN. Ahhhhh, simple cheer!
