RIP Bob Newhart

[King Bob]

He was always drolly funny. I really liked the Bob Newhard Show. and 94! Man. Probably nowadays only really known from Elf.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

I really liked his comedy.

[Drunk Monk]

He killed it on The Big Bang Theory.

I often wonder if The Bob Newhart Show influenced me to get into psychology.

Newhart had the greatest season finale of all time (and I hardly watched that show, but that ended was out of the ballpark great)

[King Bob]

Just saw on the news that he won an Emmy for his work on Big Bang Theory. I didn't see that. I hated that show.

[Drunk Monk]

I hated that show.

Too close to home?

[King Bob]

I found the male leads super annoying and the show just not funny. I never understood why it was popular. A friend of mine who also hated it said it was a show for dumb people who think they're smart.

Hi, Bob!

[King Bob]

Is that a burn? Do I need some aloe?

[Drunk Monk]

A friend of mine who also hated it said it was a show for dumb people who think they're smart.

I think it's more a show for nerds and geeks. Maybe that's the same thing. 

I confess that I'm deep in that demographic. Shit, I'm going to Comic-con next weekend. That's hardcore nerd and I may be doing some work for Den of Geek. For realz. The sci-fi and fantasy genre easter eggs in BBT were golden. BBT redeemed Wil Wheaton (Shut up Wesley!) And Bob's Professor Proton on BBT was hilarious, especially when he force-ghosts.

Surf Machine by Spot 1019

Last night my baby wanted to talk to me about art
But I said no (No!), let's just close our eyes and watch Bob Newhart (Hi, Bob!)
Then maybe later of, if we can get the El Camino to start
We can go out for something good to eat
Cause we're way hungry
And we're way gnarly...gnarly...gnarly little surf machines
