Product Description
This sitcom classic stars the incomparable Bob Newhart as Dr. Robert Hartley, a Chicago psychologist who finds himself surrounded by some unusual and neurotic characters on the job as well as at home! Hartley faces an uphill battle to not lose patience with his patients, but with the support of his quick-witted wife Emily (Suzanne Pleshette), you can count on him to conduct a healthy session of laugh therapy in all 142 episodes of The Bob Newhart Show. An outstanding supporting cast is on call to back up Newhart and Pleshette, including Bill Daily, Peter Bonerz, Jack Riley, and Marcia Wallace. Originally airing on CBS from 1972 to 1978, The Bob Newhart Show is often cited among the best-loved situation comedies in history, with TV Guide and Time naming it one of the greatest television shows of all-time. Get ready to lie back on the couch and laugh with Bob--you'd be crazy not to.

My current set I recorded off of Nick probably 15 years ago, transferred to MPEG files about 12-13 years ago, cut and edited them with some cheesy video editor from the early 2000's, and got them down to around 750 MB so that each would fit on a CD. My backups have also clogged up my hard drives over the years. $79 to get rid of all this headache and have the complete series? Bargain!!!!
Thanks for the wonderful series Mr. Newhart, just a timeless classic that we love so much. The Doctor is IN!!!
ADDED 5/27: Got the set in today, worth the money. I haven't compared the quality to the 4 Season set from Fox, but I did compare a couple of episodes to my mpeg versions I recorded 15 or so years ago. The episodes are un-cut, which is great, but one other thing I noticed right off the bat is the episodes are the correct speed. Syndication cuts episodes, but they also tend to speed them up to get more of the episode into the allotted 30 minute air time. I was really surprised how much quicker the pace was on the old recordings, with all of the actor's voices a little higher as a result. The new set is much more naturally-paced, more relaxed. The video of the new set is not perfect, but it is very, very good. I give it about 8.5 on a 1-10 scale. It doesn't have that super clean, prisitine look of a big name series that has been fully restored from top-notch source elements. But it is certainly cleaner than any Newhart episodes I have seen before, including the Fox videos. The video is excellent for the most part and is consistent from episode to episode. The audio is great, much cleaner than my recorded set which had a lot of hissing. It is perfect for a 70's sitcom, I give the audio a 9.5 out of 10.
In any case, the purchase was well worth the $79. Season 5 is one of my favorites, so I'm going to really enjoy the new set, and not worry about the $40 extra. All in all..... "Fine and Dandy"!!
What really makes this box set special are the bonus features. Audio commentary is provided on several episodes. The bonus disc includes the original, unaired pilot. In it, Peter Bonerz plays Dr. Jerry Robinson as another psychologist, instead of an orthodontist. Marcia Wallace does not appear as secretary Carol Kester, nor does Bill Daily appear as nutty navigator and neighbor Howard Borden. The 19th Anniversary special is also included. It takes place on the day after Bob had a dream about being a Vermont innkeeper named Dick Loudon. The most surreal moment of the special is when they show a clip of Bill Daily as Major Roger Healey on the "I Dream Of Jeannie" TV series. The bonus disc also includes "Group Therapy," which was recorded in Los Angeles in December of 2013. It's a nostalgic discussion of the show with Bob Newhart, Peter Bonerz, Bill Daily, Jack Riley, and director Michael Zinberg. Sadly, Suzanne Pleshette and Marcia Wallace had both passed away, and are sorely missed in the discussion group. Bob and Bill do show their age, while Peter has held up well. Sadly, Jack Riley was not doing well, and was confined to a motorized wheelchair. This look back to when they were all in their prime is bittersweet, as time has taken its toll on all of the participants. Fortunately, the TV show's comedy is timeless, and has held up very well over the years.

Just about constantly the funniest television show I have ever seen. Clever humour, perfectly wonderful timing and brilliantly acted, with ALL the cast having punchlines to deliver.
IF IN DOUBT ABOUT BUYING THE "BOB NEWHART SHOW" — TRUST ME — JUST BUY IT!
