Bob Newhart, Season One

I was only a kid when The Bob Newhart show hit TV. I saw the box for Season One at Target, and on a whim, I picked it up. I'm glad I did. The humor's still as good, if not even more appreciable, today than it was then.

I guess reading about Bob Newhart, and what he's really like off screen, was the deciding factor in the impulse purchase (if there's such a thing). Rick Reilly, in Who's Your Caddy, describes Newhart as an approachable, unpretentious man who's wit is quick and style timeless.

One thing's for sure, there are easier ways to blow twenty-bucks, but not as many are as rewarding. I'm sure I'll be laughing at and loaning out these DVDs for years to come.
