Rest in Peace, Bob (Variety article)


quote:



Bob Newhart, Comedy Icon, Dies at 94



quote:
Bob Newhart, the genteel but sharply satirical comic whose TV series “The Bob Newhart Show” and “Newhart” were huge hits throughout the 1970s and ’80s, died Thursday in Los Angeles. He was 94. 

Newhart’s publicist Jerry Digney said he died after a series of short illnesses. 

Before his TV success, Newhart’s comedy albums were wildly popular for their at-the-time new approach of observational humor. He ruled TV for the better part of two decades, first with “The Bob Newhart Show” as a befuddled Chicago psychologist and then on “Newhart” as an equally at-a-loss New England innkeeper. He drew Emmy nominations for actor in a comedy three years running from 1985-87.Both shows were major successes for CBS, and they ran for a total of 16 years between 1972 and 1990.

A staple in my childhood. Whenever I would stay home from school I would always watch the Price is Right. RIP.

I always liked him, thought he was funny. I still remember watching the original Newhart show as a kid with my parents in the late 80's. He was really good on Elf and Big Bang Theory.

Sad day. RIP.

This year is turning out like 2016 with all of the celebritiy deaths

Forgot about his appearances on The Big Bang Theory. He was way underrated as a comedian.

He was good in that role. He played it well and was still sharp.
