It’s the Bob Newhart…….Building!

Hollywood Beach April 11 2015

Here is a little piece of tv trivia for you.  The, “Bob Newhart Show” was a television program about a psychologist from Chicago.  The show ran from 1972 to 1978.  The opening credits show Bob going into his apartment; the building in the center of the photo above is that very building!  A stroll along Lake Michigan today reminded me of this once very popular show.  Bob Newhart was born in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park (the name of the show and the actor are one in the same).  Interestingly enough, Mr. Newhart’s grandmother was from St. Catharines, Ontario.  Gee Bob, you are part Canadian!  No wonder you have a great sense of ha ha!  It is quite fun to think the building is in my neck of the woods!

    My husband and I were watching this show recently on our holiday in Canada. Great humour. Looking forward to getting to know you more after meeting at Suzie’s party.

    Life is a circle isn’t it? I was a teen in those years, never missed an episode. Suzanne Pleshette was so pretty! Never been in Chicago proper, love how the river passes through the city.

      Thank you, Indah! It really is a gorgeous area! Ah, yes, the show was very funny and great acting. It was on in syndication for many years after it originally ran (1972-1978) so I watched it throughout the 1980’s quite often! Cher xo

    We still have some old-fashioned recordings of classic Bob Newhart, and they still make us laugh (not the TV show, which we never had in the UK, but the speeches like the Driving Instructor, the USS Codfish and the Discovery of Tobacco).
