 Ageless comedy for aduilts August 30, 2008
These are vintage Newhart routines delivered impeccably and that have not diminished with age. Some of the references will be unfamiliar with those under 30 (or 40) but the humor remains in a comedic style that unfortunately seem foreign to most young comics today.
laughter is good for the soul February 15, 2007
No filthy language, just good, old fashioned humor. No one can do it like Bob Newhart. This is one you can share with youngsters.
 Button Down Mind of Bob Newhart January 11, 2007
The DVD is wonderful to watch...brings back so many memories of when Bob was doing the TV shows!

Bob Newhart's first album was million selling smash. Each one of his subsequent albums sold less copies than the one that preceded it. This was Bob's third album. It is very funny, but most of the material is pretty dated. Who remembers Herb Philbrick nowadays? And the bits about Nikita Khrushchev and German rocket scientists are dated, too (but still funny). My favorite routine here is "The Uncle Freddie Show", which is a hilarious bit about a local TV kiddie show. It's worth the price of the CD just to get that routine, but the other routines are funny, too.

While this one didn't win Bob any awards, it is another of his classic recordings. Not too many people, including myself, remember Krushchev landing in the US. That makes Bob's take on the rehearsal landing even funnier. Have you ever watched a live children's show and wonder what actually goes on behind the scenes. Listen to this CD and you will think of Bob's The Uncle Freddie Show. Like National Geographic specials on TV or Discovery? Then you will want to hear the Seven Lost Cities of the Incas. While I like the first two CD/Albums of Bob's, don't wait to buy this one. You won't be disappointed. Don't listen to all three in a row, or you might hurt yourself due to laughing.....
