Newhart - Complete 1st Season (3-DVD)

Though it's most famous for its shocking and hilarious ending, NEWHART is a smart and funny sitcom from start to finish. After the success of THE BOB NEWHART SHOW in the 1970s, actor-comedian Bob Newhart moves his trademark dry wit to this series set in a New England inn. Writer Dick Loudon (Newhart) and his wife Joanna (Mary Frann) escape the chaos of New York City for a place that embodies peace and quiet: Vermont. But when the couple buys an inn, they realize that the country is home to just as many eccentric characters as the city. Among the locals are the maple-syrup-loving George Utley (Tom Poston) and the three strangest brothers this side of the Mississippi: Larry, Darryl, and Darryl. Season one of this classic series features guest appearances from Rue McClanahan, K Callan, Dana Elcar, Robert Pastorelli, Jerry Van Dyke, and Ruth Gordon.
