THE BOB NEWHART SHOW
The Bob Newhart Show is an American situation comedy produced by MTM Enterprises, which aired 142 half-hour episodes on CBS from September 16, 1972, to April 1, 1978. Comedian Bob Newhart portrays a psychologist having to deal with his patients and fellow office workers. The show was filmed before a live audience. (More from Wikipedia)
Despite the stellar cast, innovative plot lines, and a lead-in from Green Acres, the show was cancelled after only one season. He & She is now considered to be a ground-breaking series that paved the way for the MTM shows of the 1970’s like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show; they ran back-to-back for years, and I never missed them. Those shows basically ruined me for television programs in future years.
