5.0 out of 5 stars Real Comedy, January 6, 2000

Just loved this CD! Bob Newhart's comedy is never out-dated and proves a long standing theory of mine, that real comedy doesn't require obscenity to be funny! This CD has original material that could only come from the brilliant mind of Bob Newhart! It's hilarious!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great routines, but not the best package, February 1, 2006

These routines never get dated (even though Newhart bombed with the "King Kong" routine as his SNL monologue; it wasn't the right venue, and many had already heard it). These are some of his classics. However, why would you pay almost $20 for an import when he has an anthology of ALL his routines going for under $15? Go for "Something Like This..." instead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for the whole family, February 2, 2007

I bought this because my husband and I both enjoy the humor of Bob Newhart. When I introduced my children to it, they loved it, too. They enjoyed the cd so much that I have had to retrieve it from their rooms on more than one occasion. "Introducing Tobacco to Civilization" and "Driving Instructor" are our family's personal favorites, but the whole cd is a lot of fun.
