Rick told me that Bob Newhart has finally received an Emmy....for playing Professor Proton in The Big Bang Theory! I've been a huge Newhart fan for years and years and this just tickled me that he finally got an Emmy; he has deserved one for a long time. And wouldn't you know that it would be through TBBT that he finally got it. He was absolutely wonderful as Professor Proton, especially with his reactions to Penny. I hope he's able to come back on a future episode.
I just love Newhart. The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart are playing on a family-type channel (I don't remember the name of it right offhand) on tv and I watch them both at night. Even though I've seen every episode of The Bob Newhart Show many times.
IMO, the best finale to any series was the finale to Newhart. It was hilarious with the golf ball and with Suzanne Pleshette, and Rick and I both howled the first time we saw it.
I know a lot of people don't like him and they don't like his comedy. I love it. He has a very droll, dry sense of humor. And his "that would....that would be me" gets me every time.
