I happen to like Bob Newhart even though he is pretty much the same all the time.  This series is certainly "dated" but it is well done and amusing. I enjoy watching an episode every day or two when I sit down with a cup of coffee.  I'm glad I purchased it and look forward to many  ours of enjoyment. A FEW WEEKS LATER....I'M BEGINNING TO BE VERY UPSET AT THE NUMBER OF EPISODES THAT CANNOT BE VIEWED BECAUSE  OF FREEZES.  THE WHOLE LAST HALF OF SEASON 4 COULD NOT BE VIEWED AND 2 OR 3 EPISODES OF AN EARLIER SEASON WERE THE SAME WAY.
