Doctor Bob was real IN

DKosty123

Dr. Bob Hartley (Bob Newhart) is one of the nicest psychiatrists you will ever meet. His most classic patient Mr. Carlin (Jack Riley) had some of the most amazing problems that make for great laughter. Bob Newharts type of comedy is the subtle slow developing type of wit which grows on you no matter who you are if you give it time.

This series took pains to develop characters. By the time the series was over, not only was everyone aware of the talent of Jack Riley, but Peter Bonerz, & Marcia Wallace had also become known to fans. Bill Daley here just kept expanding on his role as an odd airline pilot which was a little different than being an astronaut of I Dream of Jeannie, but here Daley is more subdued & fits in nicely.

Susanne Pleshett is Emily, a wife who fits in well too. The amazing thing about Newhart is how he makes anyone who works with him better, & it shows throughout the series. He draws people out throughout this series. It is currently running on the American Network.

score 8/10
