Bob Newhart-RIP

Bob Newhart… hope you find a good part for your expression of deadpan in heaven since you kicked the can Bob Newhart… perhaps I meant the bucket, ye old fart made new in your stellar light debut Bob Newhart… Your a little elf in the queue, start your cloud nine life without Big Bang strife Bob Newhart… you know how Sheldon would outsmart Professor Proton bring him back from beyond for advice, not his knack Bob Newhart… lastly woke up in the sack, back at the start with his first wife, of all the dreams now the actors dead, for real, it seems

Thank you Kim for this wonderful remembrance of Bob Newhart - one of the funniest comedians to grace a stage or our TV sets. I loved his show with all of the wonderful characters including Larry, Daryl and Daryl! Well written. Engaging as Newhart himself. He, Jack Benny and Johnny Carson refined "the look" to a comic art. We have lost a bit of laughter! RIP Bob. Hope you are enjoying the heavenly telephone service. Blessings!

I guess the 'Big Psychiatrist in the Sky' told him that his '94-year-session's' time was up. RIP, Bob...

Too cliché to say he lived a full life but he did. Love Big Psychiatrist in the Sky'

He had an interesting way to comedy. It has been a very long time since I have seen him in any TV or movie. In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw him. He had a good lifespan. Not many live to be that old. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about him. Sara K

He had appearances in “The Big Bang Theory,” and was in the Christmas movie, “Elf.”
