@JoeWynne Her face looked familiar but I couldn’t place it until I saw the credit.
Now watching Ghosts (CBS), it’s high time for me to do a Newhart rewatch.
Julia Duffy as Mol‽ We have a Newhart connection!
So many different watch options on different streaming services but here I sit watching a not particularly high quality DVD rip of an episode on #Newhart on YouTube.
I would suggest fans of the show start w/ Jim Nabors one which introduces gofer Scooter, nephew of the theatre owner. The head writer starred on the Andy Griffith show in several episodes with #Gomer who is uncredited in the security guard sketch
Jack #Burns was once comedic partner w/ Carlin during the straight years. Deputy of Mayberry after Barney left. Later part of comic duo Burns & #Schreiber
Avery Schreibers visit is almost as funny
Peter Ustinov has a really punny bit 10 minutes in
Rita Morenos Emmy winning version of Fever with Animal is a season highpoint.
Vincent Prices appearance must be the one Bill #Hader based his homage on
Paul Williams is worth seeing if only because of his involvement in the music of the nascent #MuppetMovie released the next summer
Mummenschanz was like a pantomime Blue Man Group demonstrating their own form of puppetry
There was one other notable first season guest I intend to discuss in my next reply which has something to do Bob #Newhart
On his blog, @paulharrisshow tells his favorite Bob #Newhart story:
https://harrisonline.com/greatest-bob-newhart-story-ever/
It's also one of mine. The other story I like is about the network suit who gave him a note, I think on the 1980s "Newhart" show, telling him, "Bob needs to lose his stammer."
Newhart supposedly sent a note back saying, "This stammer bought me a house in Beverly Hills."
I watched the first episode of #Newhart which is a show I haven't seen since I was a little kid watching reruns with my dad on Nick at Nite or TV Land or whatever. I laughed out a loud a few times which doesn't often happen when I'm just watching stuff alone, will probably continue watching more episodes in the future.

Brilliant!
The ‘Newhart’ Finale Was One of Bob Newhart’s Boldest TV Moments
The finale has become so famous in part because it offered a rare moment of real surprise from a taped prime-time television sitcom
