I'm afraid I must respectfully disagree with everyone else and agree 100% with cwdfwtx's comment.
It was bad enough my folks subjected me to this soporific (and that's putting it mildly) sitcom (I was 10 years old when it premiered in 1972), and I had to endure it for the next 5 1/2 years. I was certainly glad when ABC's Saturday night lineup (which included "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island") eventually sent "Bob Newhart" to Cancellation City.
Both TV Land and Superstation WGN were very smart to show the reruns at 3:30 A.M. Eastern time; if I ran out of Sominex, all I had to do was turn on "Bob Newhart" and I fell asleep within 10 minutes (this show has a very high "yawn factor").
I was also shocked 20th Century Fox (which now owns all the MTM Entertainment shows) recently decided to put the first season of "Bob Newhart" on DVD, and now - GAG! CHOKE! - they announced the second year will be out soon. You can be damn sure I WON'T waste my hard-earned $30 on that, or the first season set!
But, if Sominex ever becomes scarce....well, I just hope THAT doesn't happen!
