Bob Newhart

[mj4cy]

I remember thinking he was looking elderly in Elf and that was almost 20 years ago. What a run!

The scene where he wakes up with Suzanne Pleshette (?) He says something along the line of you should wear more sweaters is classic .

Always enjoyed his cameo on the Simpsons. I wouldn't be shocked if the script didn't have any lines on it, and just said "Bob Newhart does his thing". There was nobody else like him.

Growing up we had the the Bob Newhart album, The button down mind of Bob Newhart. Genius.

I regret to inform you that it was officially over twenty years ago.

The 1971 movie, Cold Turkey, which Newhart appeared in was filmed in Greenfield and Winterset.

Funny movie

 

[Texbudman]

I fixed it for you. Also, I knew a kid from Greenfield who was on my floor in college by the name of Jim Fees.

I still know Jim Fees. Great guy. You lived on Dana Haus too?

That film was produced by Norman Lear. When Lear was in Iowa he was working on developing a t.v. show that he didn't think would "play in Peoria" as the saying goes. After coming to Iowa and seeing Iowans doing anything they could to be of help and with the ability to laugh at themselves Lear thought to himself maybe this t.v. show I'm working on could work. That t.v. show was All In The Family.

Yes, I lived on Dana Haus. This is Chuck. I did my house award one time based on Fees getting drunk and blowing chunks at Granddaddy's. I wrote a song, set to the tune of the Gambler, which was popular back then, to commemorate that epic event.

I sure wish I knew who you were. I can't remember half my roommates. I'm 70 years old now and never was very good with names, and age doesn't help any with that. Is this Cranston?

Plagge,Flint, Fee’s and Mailing say to tell you hello

The magic of a brilliant comedian is the ability to take something that isn't particularly funny on its face, and make it hilarious. Bob had that ability.
