Well, we decided to give "Bob"- a later series starring Bob Newhart a try just to break things up a bit. You can buy the complete 2 season run online pretty cheaply.
We really liked this one, especially the first season. Bob is a comic book artist who ends up working in greeting-cards. In the first episode, an old comic he created gets some new life, and he goes back to working for a comic book company.
Its very cute and funny, though it does have some standard 90s sitcom type situations. We really liked all of the actors- especially Bob's daughter and his co-workers on the comic book.
For the shortened second season they totally retooled the show. Bob looses his job on the comic book, and has to go back to working on greeting cards. Other than his wife and daughter, the entire cast is changed and Betty White appears in about every other episode. Also, and this is never explained, the home Bob and his family live in is totally different.
It was fun seeing Betty and Bob work together, but the show just isn't as interesting after the changes.
Still, Bob Newhart to me is one of the funniest actors ever...... I really love the guy and wish this one could have stuck around longer.
