Sept. 30, 2011
I just got some bad news on the release of Seasons 5 and 6 of The Bob Newhart Show, folks.
I checked in with the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment exec who's been the point person on this, and I was told that the releases are on hold because of the dreaded musical clearance issues, and that a holiday rollout won't happen.
The shred of good news is that I asked point-blank if that meant the releases were off, and the exec said right now it's a "delay" and that they are "working on other solutions."
I said I'd check back in a few months, but that I knew a lot of people were not going to be pleased, and that if we don't end up getting the final two seasons after strong indications that we would, people would be even more unhappy.
So I guess we just have to wait and see, hoping for the best, and if the process does come to a halt decide what we want to do then.
I hope some of you will be with me if we eventually need to mobilize.

*YES* WE THE BOB NEWHART SHOW FAN'S ARE STILL WAITING FOR FOX VIDEO AND/OR HOWEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RELEASES OF SEASONS 5 & 6 TO BE RELEASED ON DVD.... MOST OF US HAVE SEASONS 1,2,3 & 4 AND HAVE WATCHED THEM OVER AND OVER TILL WE KNOW THE LINES BETTER THEN THE ACTORS DID.... REALLY THOUGH, I HOPE TO HEAR OF THESE RELEASES SOON..... THIS YEAR IF POSSIBLE ??? *PLEASE ???*

I have officially pre-ordered seasons 5 and 6. Finally a missing piece of my life will be filled. It took long enough, but it is finally here!

I love the BNS and have seasons 1-4. I used to watch it in the 70's with Mom and Dad. I think it's so dear to my heart because my dad favored Bob Newhart..in both his wit and snappy fashion style. :) Please release it soon. Thanks!

The rating is not for the show but for the delay. Why is it taking so long to get these seasons of one of the best TV shows of all time to DVD? What do we have to do? We want to all go about this in a legal way but it seems that we are being pushed to illegal means in order to obtain these shows. I'm sure I could get them from numerous vendors throughout Thailand. It would not surprise me if these two seasons are already available for download off the internet. But some of us want to spend our money legally. And thanks to Fox it seems like we may never be able to.

Thanks for finally putting out seasons five and six of the BNS after so many years of waiting. I watched this show growing up in the 70's because my parents watched it as part of the infamous Saturday night lineup. Some of my favorite episodes are
in the last two seasons. Suzanne Pleshette was my favorite; I liked her so much better than the wife on the Newhart show because she and Bob had so much chemistry together they really seemed to be a couple. It scares me that there is no actual release date at the time I'm writing this but I'm hoping that's temporary :)

Yeah, baby! Seasons 5 and 6 available for pre-order, will do so tonight. All you people that have been posting on the Season 5 entry, here is your chance, get yoru pre-orders in.

Why the release of seasons five and six are held up is anybody's guess, considering some of the crap that gets put out on DVD. C'mon Fox, get with it!

Could one of the Bob Newhart Show fans tell me what season the episode of Bob Hartley dresses as Zorro for a masquerade party,and ends up on the ledge of of a building is included on?
Thank You.

As someone that bought the first season of The Bob Newhart Show, I must say I was disappointed in the poor quality. I mean that while other series have character pictures and are one sided DVDs this set was two sided. There are still some channels broadcasting the series and even though they are the cut-up syndicated version, it was better than what I bought. Wait for someone responsible like Shout Factory to do it right.
Try Hulu, it may be there.
