Summary: It's been too long a wait!
Comment: Oh my god! This show should have been put on DVD years ago. Bob Newhart is one of the greatest comedians of all time, and he has had the uncanny ability to reinvent himself in multiple series. I loved Newhart when it was still in reruns, and I've never understood why shows like this don't stay on TV in rerun longer. Tom Poston (now deceased) was great, Bob is SO DRY, and if you watch carefully, he gets a little pleased look on his face when he makes a good joke. There are a few really good jokes. Sorry to say I don't like Kirk, but otherwise a great show. When can I get season 2?

Summary: We Want More
Comment: This easily has to be one of the best television series ever produced. I was thrilled when season one came out and have devoured it from beginning to end. We want season two and we want it NOW!

Summary: When will the 2nd season come out?
Comment: I'm so excited to finally own the Newhart complete first season, but I want the 2nd and 3rd and so on....... When can we expect the next season to come out, does anyone know? It took so long for the first one to come out. I love this show and would be so happy to be able to own the complete television season. If anyone can tell me when the 2nd season might come out I'd love to know.

Summary: Wait Until They Release the Rest of the Seasons
Comment: I loved the Newhart show, but don't recommend buying this until they release the rest of the seasons. Why are they hamstringing customers this way? The first season was the worst of the seasons. The Newhart show greatly improved after the first season (but, alas - you can't buy them).
Joanna (Mary Frann) was a good "straight man" for Dick Louden (Bob Newhart).
George (Tom Poston) is always fun and a great attribute on the show. He and Bob Newhart had great chemistry.
Even though Leslie is a bit wooden, she's still pleasant in the cast. After being replaced by Stephanie (Julia Duffy), the show starts getting kicked into high gear. Alas, that happens in the second season - which you can't buy.
The Kirk character was a waste of space. A very shallow, one-dimensional character and becomes very annoying and predictable in short order. Ironically, his character develops a little better in the second season, before he's gone from the show (sorry - you still can't buy the second season...)
Larry and Darryl and Darryl show up twice toward the end of the season. They figure more prominently after the first season. They're a good addition and their presence and bizarre antics are a great augmentation to Dick Louden's character. They're available more after the first season... sorry. Again, no dice.
I don't care to buy a single season of a series every few years, as 20th Century Fox deems it ready to release. I would prefer to buy the season as a set. Some folks might even like to be able to buy select seasons, but no one wants to be limited to ONE.

Summary: One Release Wonders!!!
Comment: What game is Fox and Sony Playing at? Some of the best series that were ever on TV are being released without ever releasing the rest of the production. I will not buy a 1st year again without waiting to see if more are to come. At this point in time I have 1st release wonders such as Murphy Brown, Barney Miller, WKRP, Newhart, Night Court and Designing Women.
