Newhart: Season 4

I really liked "Newhart" when it first aired, and this was the first volume I wanted because of certain episodes on it. Unfortunately, the set isn't wonderful. The DVD comes from a second party distributor and there's no bonus features, and the clarity isn't good. Nevertheless, the set is passable, but it's not up to par to actual DVD sets of CBS shows from the 80s.

A nice occasional 1/2 hour diversion.

I haven't seen Newhart one single time since high-school, but have fond memories of this show from my youth. The DVD transfer is pretty fair, you'll see some artifacts from the film that were never cleaned up, but nothing that ruins the experience. Newhart is really a treasure comedy from the 80's. I haven't seen a bad episode yet and the addition of Michael and Stephanie post season 1 really solidified this series. Most amazingly is how relevant the shows are still today! There are a few references from the time period, but for the most part, you could watch this today and feel like it's taking place in 2014 at an Inn in Vermont. If you didn't grow up with this series, I'd recommend giving it a try. They don't do comedies like this any more and hopefully you'll find yourself laughing out loud a half a dozen times a show like me!

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 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.It is comedy at it's best!

I love this season of Newhart. Makes me wish I could go live in the country and a simpler time. Top 5 episodes of this season are 1. The Stratford Picture Show 2. Torn Between Three Brothers, 3. Candidate Larry, 4 The Way We Ought To Be, 5 Pirate Pete.Great Show

I LOVE this show. I remember seeing reruns and new episodes, having been born in 1985. The show held a great place in my memories of my childhood, a place where the word "meow" held a special meaning. I am so indebted to SHOUT for their efforts.Stephanie probably inspired me in ways that the character never intended to do. However, I think this show saw a lot of the 80s and gave a lot to the 90s, in which my first memories tend to really lie.Either way, I really hope to get the seasons of 5 to the end, so I can spend money on getting them and on them making me recall happy memories of my childhood.

I am a die hard of Bob Newhart. Starting with his 1972-78 series, the Bob Newhart Show, I have watched and enjoyed all of his subsequent series, Newhart, Bob, and George & Leo. Starting with the 3rd season, the final/regular cast was locked in after making necessary changes with the Leslie and Kirk characters. In my opinion, the series really hits its stride. The best sitcoms are written and performed whereby even the characters (Stephanie and Michael) with the thorniest quirks are beloved. The characters of Larry, Daryl & Daryl were pure comedic genius. I look forward the release of seasons 5, 6, 7, and 8.

My wife and I have waited for someone to release these shows for years. Finally Shout has done just that. We have their outstanding Season 2 & 3 editions. They aren't fancy. There aren't a lot of extras. You won't find cast commentary, the making of "Newhart", or subtitles in several languages. What you will find is the best comedy show produced at a time when there were several candidates for that title. So pull up a chair and enjoy an evening at the Stratford. You'll be glad you did.

This is a must have DVD box set for all Bob Newhart fans who also want to relive the 1980's. I'm currently only on disc two of the three disc set and have enjoyed all of the episodes, especially the first episode entitled "Pirate Pete"; when Dick Louden has to substitute in for the elderly host of the kiddie show and ends up getting the show cancelled, to only to then be pushed into having visit and inform the hospitalized former host of the show that his kiddie show has been cancelled and taken off the air.

It's a nice show, good for the whole family ! The introduction has the most beautiful scenery and you just wish you lived there. And of course Bob Newhart makes the show funnier.

Good show

One of those shows that make you keel like your there or at least eavesdropping on old friends. A delight !

love this series - I wish Maude seasons would come out like these
