Amazon.com:
Part of what Bob Newhart mastered, earlier on stand-up albums like The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart and The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back! and later on his long-running TV series The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart, was capturing a brand of Everyman neuroses and heightening it, bringing mundane, common scenarios into the realm of the absurd--and the absurdly funny. Newhart also perfected playing a character involved in a conversation with the other party in absentia, as in one of his most famous routines, "King Kong," in which he plays the part of an Empire State Building security guard who calls his boss the night King Kong makes his famous ascent. ("Yes, sir, I looked in the handbook index under 'unauthorized personnel' and 'people without passes' and 'apes,' and 'ape's toes,' but it's not in there....") Something Like This... is a generous sampling of Newhart's best stand-up bits, and while some of his topics--airplanes, hating to fly--have now been so overdone as to be comic faux pas, rather than making his material seem dated they often serve to demonstrate just how rare a talent he is simply because the routines still elicit involuntary snorts of laughter some 30 years later. --Mark Hunstman

Amazon didn't bother to let me know that the item didn't deliver until I made a inquiry.
What a coincidence they "just" realized the item was returned....yeah it was returned 3 weeks earlier.
Normally I like Amazon, but they dropped the ball on this one

As a kid (in the 70s) my father played his Bob Newhart record every once in a while. He only had one, but I loved the way he laughed at it, and I laughed too. I was old enough to understand some of the humour in routines like the driving instructor, and the telephone conversation with Sir Walter Raleigh.
When I was wondering what to buy Dad for Christmas this time around I thought of that record, and looked up 'Bob Newhart' on Amazon. I quickly found this double CD compilation, recognised ... Read More

The laugh track is distractingly and annoying loud (shrill) and Newhart's humorous monologue is far softer than the laugh track. Would not recommend this to anyone.
