David A Dahl (Peoria, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hi Bob!: A Self-Help Guide to the Bob Newhart Show (Paperback)
The author pretty comprehensively looks at all of the major and minor characters in the classic series. Unfortunately, Bob Newhart himself chose not to cooperate with him, so he had to ask others about him and refer to magazine interviews with Newhart.

The "episode guide", in my opinion, could have included more detail about each episode. There's only a one- or two-sentence synopsis of the plot.

For all of the inconsistencies Green points out about Bob's age and other details over the years, he omits a big one: in the episode in which Bob treats a Chicago Cub player, the plot calls for the Cubs to play a night game at Wrigley Field in the 70's.
