Bob Newhart show (1970's) vs Newhart

[horsemen4ever]

So which Bob Newhart sitcom is better? The Bob Newhart show (not to be confused with a short 60's variety show) or Newhart?

I think a way to break it down is big city humor vs small town humor with Bob Newhart being Bob Newhart.

I like the Bob Newhart show better, Newhart is excellent for the most part, but I liked the big city humor better I am from the big city. And it had Elliott Carlin, nuff said.

And one of the funniest scenes of all time like Bob after being grilled on a talk show telling a nun to watch your back.

Its a tough call. Overall Newhart had funnier individual episodes but its last couple of seasons were absolutely awful, while The Bob Newhart Show stayed pretty steady in quality throughout.

I'll say Newhart.
