Rest in Peace Bob Newhart. Thank you for the laughs and sharing your God given talent. You will be missed tremendously, but your legacy will live on. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊️🕊️
I'm imagining him walking to the gates like he does in this opening, with the theme song playing, and when he arrives Marcia Wallace has his coffee cup ready
It doesn't get much more 70s than this. The LSD colors really puts it over the edge. 1976 the year I was born was probably the peak of the 70s era like 1985 was for the 80s. It's amazing how much things would change in just a few years.
The Bob Newhart Show was written by Lorenzo Music and David Davis, who also created Rhoda for MTM Enterprises. And I must say, especially since MTM Enterprises also produced The Mary Tyler Moore Show, they must have had a monopoly on all the great CBS sitcoms of the seventies.
I loved Bob. He was the epitome of a good laugh. The 70s were such a different time. We lived through high inflation, the oil embargo, etc yet we had HOPE for a good future. I miss those days.
I say that even at their worst in the past those days were STILL better and more positive than what we got going on today. Never in history have we been more divided and we've been through the Civil Rights movement and World Wars. It's great to go back to simpler times watching these fun, warm tv classics that help us escape the harsher side of life.
@@yanbu000, I don’t know. A quick google search suggested either Chuck Findlay or Tony Teran though. Might have been a session musician who wasn’t all that well-known.
What a freaking legend!! I watched every episode of this and "Newhart" on Nick at Nite in the '90s. One of the most brilliant comic actors of all time. He could kill you without saying a word, just a look (like at the end of this intro). RIP
This particular version might be my favorite tv theme of all time. So funky, with that rhythm guitar but when the trumpet takes over the lead and the horns come in behind it, that's just majestic...and they all come back to the funk, just awesome!
Yeah, I'm at lead players trumpet solo is to die for! One of the most lyrical, stylistically, perfect solos I have everything I've heard. Any idea who was playing that solo?
RIP Bob, you gave my parents many laughs. I can still recall in the 70's, I was a young boy and they watched every Saturday night and Mary Tyler Moore was on same night. I would always like to watch the theme song intro. Listening now to these intros brings back many good memories of being with the family on Saturday night and my parents laughing so much.
Yes, it was. Makes me kind of sad. I miss those days and watching my parents laugh and just be happy as a family. Good times, and hard times, we just knew we'd get through it, and be all the better for having been through it. RIP Bob. 😊
I used to watch this show every afternoon when I got off of work back in the (mid,,,,????) 1980's. ( reruns of course. ) I worked in an Office, ( & this was 30,,,,???? Years, before "The Office. " TV show.)
When. I was a kid my grandmother used to watch this and Lou Grant when I heard Newhart theme I as a.kid was like where's the saxophone....then hear Lou Grant and totally not expecting the sax.
Wonder if they changed the intro because Bob was asked so often why his route home made no sense. He walked all over the place and took the el to evanston instead of too edgewater where his building was and was on the wrong el anyway lol
She looked a heck of a lot better without the perm and the pantsuits, like in the early seasons. Same thing with Mary Tyler Moore actually. My Mom did the same thing with the hair in the 1970s. It just looked so odd to me. Albeit, I guess you'd have to assume it looks better in real life, in-person.
I believer there is a cbs tag line that used to be included at the been end of the outro. I'd love to hear it if anyone knows what in talking about. Maybe 6 or 7 notes from.a guitar I think..I was a kid. It's been a long time
