I am starting a collection of classic TV shows. We watch very little TV in our house..We don't have and never did have cable so what do watch has to be very good..The kids like Bob Newhart---truely funny without the dummied down bathroom humor and booty calls of today's shows.

This is an all-time classic show. Like many of the reviewers here, I couldn't wait for this box set to come out. I bought the seasons as they were released. It has been more than two years since Fox released the fourth season. Same goes for another absolute 1970s class, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. It can't be about sales. These were both very popular shows in their day. They both are as funny as ever - even funnier now in the sense that by watching them these days you see the obvious weakness in the writing of modern tv. I've had it with waiting. There is lots on my wish list. Fox is not getting another penny from me until they start releasing the remaining seasons of these two MTM classics. That's it. End of discussion. Are the Fox bean counters listening yet?

This is a great collection of Bob Newhart show for old fans and for new. My 11 year old daughter loves them. Nicely packaged and with some interesting commentaries and a few extras. Lots of laughs. I only wish they would make years 5 and 6 available as well.

I really enjoyed re-"viewing" the shows from seasons 1-4 and wish new TV was as entertaining and light as these shows were. I hope to locate seasons 5 and 6. Plan to pass my set to my parents (in their 80's) who will also enjoy the trip down memory lane. NJB

It is so enjoyable to see the shows we loved in the past. This set of 4 seasons of the original Bob Newhart Show is a breath of fresh air in today's "reality" frenzy. It's wonderful to relax, laugh, and not worry about the sex and violence so prevalent in today's current offerings.
Great choice for our family!

This is one of the best TV shows ever, and wow, what a bargain it is! The writing, the timing of the jokes, are flawless. It would have got 5 stars from me, except for the sometimes substandard audio and picture quality. I highly recommend it, though.

These older series for me are better than 90% of the shows you find on the current TV. Price was nice too.

Obviously not a review, just a question, and so the three star rating is meaningless. Since each of the first four seasons is available separately for $11, why does the four season package cost $108? Am I missing something? Are the substantial extras included with the package?

One of the ALL-TIME CLASSIC sit-coms!

The ONLY disappointment with this Classic series, is FOX releasing CHEAP quality discs with episodes on double-sided discs!
If FOX EVER releases season 5-6 hopefully they will NOT be CHEAP quality!

Bob Newhart, Dick Van Dyke, Robin Williams are all comic legends!

If you enjoy comedy that has a dry wit then this is a program for you. Bob Newhart is "the every man" trying to exist with the odd ball characters in his life.
