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.
