S1E1: The Bob Newhart Show

The Bob Newhart Show was a sitcom that aired on CBS from 1972-1978. The series stars Bob Newhart as Dr. Robert Hartley, a Chicago psychologist balancing the eccentric personalities of his patients with the equally colorful characters in his personal life. Unlike many sitcoms of its era, The Bob Newhart Show relied less on broad slapstick and more on sharp writing and dry wit. Many fans consider The Bob Newhart Show to be Bob's finest work. Its realistic portrayal of adult relationships helped set it apart from the sitcom landscape of the time. More than fifty years after its debut, the series remains a staple of classic television. Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Fly the Unfriendly Skies" to see if this one gets a green-light or cancel. Starring: Bob Newhart, Suzanne Pleshette, Peter Bonerz, Bill Daily, Patricia Smith, Marcia Wallace, Noam Pitlik, Florida Friebus, Jack Riley, & Penny Marshall www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD
