Newhart The third Season

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

I always loved this show, but never realized how funny it truly is as compared to what is described as comedy today. This show is hysterical, and Bob Newhart and company never fail to deliver the laughs. I also love his dry sense of humor, and this season had me laughing the entire time. It makes me long for the days when this kind of programming was the norm. Loved it, and looking forward to the release of the next Season. I also cannot wait for Season 5, as the episode Goodbye and Good Riddance Mr. Chips, was hilarious, as Dick decides to take a typing class, and his teacher is none other than the same man who taught him Geography in elementary school, and he still treats him and the class as if they were all ten years old.-Barbara

Bob Newhart is one of a kind, and his comedy is situational. Great supporting cast. Love the three brothers Larry, Darryl, and Darryl. Stephanie played by Julia Duffy is worth the price of admission all by herself. Her boyfriend played by Peter Scolai is a trip and as different as one could be matched as the counter to Stephanie, and of course Bob Newhart himself. Newhart’s wife Joanna played by Mary Frann is a one of a kind sweet and loving wife who doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. Then there is of course George Utley played by Tom Posten the Vermont Inn’s handyman. This is the third season. In all there were 184 episodes produced. That in itself speaks volumes of the quality and durability of this series. I liked it much better than Newhart’s earlier successful show titled The Bob Newhart Show. The storyline basically is that Dick Loudon and his wife Joanna decide to leave life in New York City and buy a little inn in Vermont. Dick is a how-to book writer, who eventually becomes a local TV celebrity as host of “Vermont Today.” George Utley is the handyman at the inn and Leslie Vanderkellen is the original maid. She is later replaced by her cousin Stephanie, an heiress who hates her job. Her boyfriend is Dick’s yuppie TV producer, Michael Harris. There are many other quirky characters in this fictional little town, including Dick’s neighbors Larry, Darryl, and Darryl…three brothers who buy the Minuteman Cafe from Kirk Devane. Besides sharing a name, Darryl and Darryl never speak (until the final episode of the series).- Nelson

Season One was good, but the lighting seemed weird to me, I didn’t like most of Season Two, the writing wasn’t very good, but Season Three is the way I remember the Newhart show, I like every episode. I’m up to Season five and it’s still great. Starting with Season Three, Larry, Darryl & Darryl are on most of the time, evolving into putting an appearance in each episode starting by Season Four.-Lee
