That is what my brother Daryl says too!
Newhart was ahead of his time. Nowadays, millions of people are walking down the street, holding imaginary phone conversations.
Daryl or Daryl?
My daughter Emily got her name from Emily Hartley and she has alot of the "Emily" qualities. Her twin, Corinne has a TV name as well, and though quite a spitfire, thankfully bears less resemblance to her TV counterpart.
These sobs.. You want to like them..
The dream sequence scene is not one of the funniest moments on TV...it is absolutely THE FUNNIEST MOMENT EVER ON TV. Period...End of story...quit looking because you found it
"I dreamt I was an innkeeper in a crazy little town in Vermont!"
Back in the days when the IBM punch card was king, I was attending a computer programming school. In one class they showed a short film of Newhart as a guy in the patent office talking to Hollerith (inventor of the concept), who was trying to patent his idea.
Newhart had us in hysterics as he ridiculed the numbering layout and other "oddities" that we all took as Holy Writ. He really seemed to know about the subject. He didn't. he was just damned good comedian. I came away with a lot of respect for him.
Bob used to do an old routine about a one legged guy auditioning for the part of Tarzan. It was Hi-larious

To Emily: "You should wear sweaters more often."
I've always liked Bob Newhart. Interesting that he was an accountant in his previous life. On the one hand I can see it but on the other he is too funny. Most bean counters I know don't understand dry humor.
It ranks equally with Lucy & Ethel at the chocolate factory!
Who was that sweater wearing actress? Hubba-hubba.
I loved that show...I would laugh myself silly. I always found Mr. Carlin hilarious.
You're so right. When the Bob Newhart Show was on Nick at Nite, there was a promo for the show that consisted of several bits where Bob just looked at whoever delivered the joke, and blinked his eyes. It was fabulous.
"Her twin, Corinne has a TV name as well,..."
Did you name her after the character on Soap?
My daughter's name is Corinne too (so fun to hear about another!), but it was years before I remembered the character on Soap, and THEN I remembered that the mom's name was Jessica (my name!).
But it had nothing to do with that at all, she was actually named for the Taj Mahal version of the song "Corinna", but hubby liked Corinne better.
