CHICAGO — From 1972 to 1978, ‘The Bob Newhart Show,’ featuring Bob and Emily Hartley, put Chicago in the spotlight.
Featured in the open was the Edgewater-area condominium at Sheridan and Thorndale, where the couple lived.
“Every week, the opening credit sequence showed Bob walking up to this building and I think it would have to qualify as one of the most overexposed buildings in Chicago,” said John Holden, president of the Edgewater Historical Society.

My dad had his first album. The only skit I remember was The Bus Driver’s School. They were all good, though.

On a related note, here’s the real Vermont inn that was used for the exterior shots on ‘Newhart’.

”I hear the theme song in my mind.”I did not notice it until I read your comment, but I also had the theme song running in my head.

Loved it when Rev Jim in a Taxi episode put lyrics to the song.

It’s the one where Jim arranges ideal dates for all the cabbies. His was Marcia Wallace.
To: joesbucks
Thank you.
One of my favorite Jim episodes is when Jim joins the network.

America needs more Bob Newharts in it.
Woody Allen had some of those same qualities before he was socially ruined by random rumor mills.

Suzanne was a lot more fun to watch. But, yeah, he was entertaining.

Years ago I was in Chicago with a co-worker. It was my first time there. He pointed to the building and asked if I recognized it.
I hummed the theme song out loud.

Not really what I'd call "iconic."

Surely Chicago has other buildings that are more memorable and recognizable.
