Newhart The Final Season
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Shout Factory! has gone above and beyond to make it right for Newhart fans. They picked up after Fox gave up on the series. This show (which I enjoy more than TBNS) finally got a full release. Season 8 may have been hit or miss, but it has some real gems. Handymania, The Killer Aunt, Tim Conway, Seein Double, and the number one series send off of all time!! Who could ask for more? And if you’re wondering, you do get the complete last episode, it runs over 26 minutes. I’ve never seen it fully assembled before, since I was only 6 when it aired originally. Most of the time you get the 22 minute version on TV, where they chop off 4 minutes. The video looks like it’s a generation down, but it is still clear enough. There’s one episode with tracking issues and there is a slight pause in one episode which might be a DVD mastering issue. Shout has gone above and beyond in making sure they give us full episodes, which most of them run close to 24 minutes. I wish Shout would have had Bob record an interview or a commentary. I would love to hear what Bob has to say about the last episode or maybe the other surviving cast members? But beggars can’t be choosers, right? I know you will enjoy this release as much as I do!- Chris L.
Newhart rivals Seinfeld for best sitcom of the 80s. Sitting back and watching them on DVD has allowed me to enjoy how many changes they made on the show with cast and direction yet it never felt like it was fumbling in the dark. Bob made it feel like Vermont on the screen. So happy Shout! Factory came out with the final season so it can sit up next to The Bob Newhart Show.-Dynamite
I loved Newhart when it was first broadcast in the 1980s and I watched it each week when I was a teen for all eight seasons. I have always been a huge fan of Bob Newhart and had watched his first show when I was a child. Newhart is filled with the usual oddballs and eccentrics and set in an unnamed small town in Vermont. The final season of Newhart is probably the best and the very last episode was a truly inspired piece of writing that has gone down in television history as the best final episode of a television comedy. Newhart holds up to the test of time. It is a true classic.- 2burmese
