Product Description:
Bob Newhart is back as successful Chicago psychologist Dr. Robert Hartley in the third season of this hilarious '70s sitcom. As the good doctor continues working with his patients on their issues he continues to be a "master of denial" concerning his own personal issues at home. But Bob is finally forced to accept the fact that he may have a problem or two when his obsessive-compulsive behavior and inferiority complex cause his self-doubt to soar and his patient list to shrink. Maybe it's finally time he took his wife's advice and scheduled a psychologist appointment of his own!Episodes-Bonus Features: Episode Description:Disc 1 side 1:Big Brother is WatchingThe Battle of the GroupsThe Great Timpau Medical Arts ExperimentThe Sepration StoryDisc 1 side 2:Sorry Wrong MotherThe Gray Flannel ShrinkDr. Ryan's ExpressBrutally Yours Bob HartleyDisc 2 side 1:Ship of ShrinksLife is a HamburgerAn American FamilyWe Love You. . .

It's more of the same in this box set from the third season of The Bob Newhart Show. That's altogether a good thing, as the mid-'70s series (these 24 episodes, compiled on three discs, come from 1974-75) remains a model of restraint in a sea of sit-com overkill, then and now. What a pleasure, not to mention a relief, it is to watch a comedy that manages to be more than a frantic cavalcade of shrill one-liners, would-be witty repartee, and endless sexual innuendo. Not that the show (the first of his two long-running series; Newhart followed in 1982), isn't funny. As Bob Hartley, Newhart brings his usual repertoire of deadpan takes, mild physical shtick, and exquisite timing to the part of a sometimes reticent, often confused Chicago psychologist who's not a whole lot more comfortable in his own skin than some of his group therapy patients; it's his equanimity as a performer that keeps the character amusing without going over the top. And while the other roles (including the reliable Suzanne Pleshette as wife Emily, Peter Bonerz as bachelor orthodontist Jerry Robinson, and Bill Daily as neighbor Howard Borden) are also well-defined, this is genuinely an ensemble program, dependent more on the characters' interactions than on the storylines and gags. Without a doubt, some of it will seem dated; when Emily (Pat Finley) moves in with Howard across the hall, the buttoned-up Bob treats his thirtysomething sister as if she were his teenage daughter, a dynamic that will hardly ring true these days. But The Bob Newhart Show makes no effort whatsoever to be hip. Indeed, its very squareness (cf. Bob's ironic description of one of Emily's outfits as "boss threads") is a big part of its charm, as is the fact that this is first and foremost a show for grownups. Bonus features include commentary (by Newhart and others) on five episodes, as well as a "making of" featurette. Nothing special, but with well over ten hours of material, the set is still a bargain. --Sam Graham

I am very disappointed that these disks have episodes on two sides, so you must flip the disk over to get the second half of the episodes. I much prefer a lot of episodes per disk, and only one side. Otherwise, the shows are great.

Why am I so addicted to this sitcom that aired more than 30 years ago?
Wonderful scripts, characters, storylines and players. Nuf said. May Newhart live on.

This is one of my all-time favorite TV shows, but when I watched the first season I was a little disappointed. It was still good, but not as funny as I remembered. The second season was much funnier and by the third season they were clicking constantly.
The cast had really grown into their characters by this time, and nailed it time after time. The writing was outstanding, and every one of these shows was funny.
The only negative thing I have to say is that if you're ... Read More

The third season is three times the fun! The series just keeps on getting better.
The Bob Newhart show was one of the best comedies ever on television. The other funny show was "Newhart", which I cannot understand why it has not been released on DVD.
The whole cast just clicks. I wish shows like this were still on television.
If you enjoy a good laugh then buy this and the other sets!

Like the MTM show, Newhart has a style of humor that's timeless, and this show seemed to get better with each passing season.
