Dec 27, 2007 - What strikes me about the four Newhart bits I've listened to on YouTube is that there's not one profane word among them. Sadly, Newhart's kind of wit is no longer appreciated or replicated. But this is great. Thanks for posting.

Feb 23, 2008 - On "Newhart" there was a scene where Mary Frann, who played his wife, was called on to do a one-sided phone conversation and had to do it over and over because she was used to interacting with other actors. After a number of takes, Bob Newhart finally went up to her and said, "It's not that easy, is it?" Perfect.

wyattmcintyre Says:

Feb 23, 2008 - LOL, that is a great story :). The timing and the expressions and tone make it all and he did get it to an art form didn't he?
