(1974-1975) “Hi, Bob.” Buttoned-down comedian Bob Newhart is TV’s greatest therapist in the third season of the hit sitcom that once anchored the unbeatable Saturday night comedy block. Newhart is perfect casting for Chicago psychologist Bob Hartley, the ever-calm (at least on the outside) in the center of the neurotic storm swirling around him. He only seems like a rock of stability until he’s next to his down-to-Earth wife, elementary school teacher Emily (Suzanne Pleshette), who has the corner on normalcy in this professional couple. Bill Daily co-stars as his insecure airline pilot neighbor Howard, Peter Bonerz his overconfident orthodontist friend Jerry, Marcia Wallace their lively receptionist Carol, and Jack Riley, Florida Friebus, and John Fiedler are among his longtime patients. Newhart’s muted delivery and blank stares make him the funniest straight man on TV, a master of the deadpan gag, the slow motion stammer, and delayed reaction laughs. 24 episodes on 3 flipper discs in a box set of 2 thinpak cases.
