I love the show and the episodes, but the double-sided discs are absolutely ridiculous! If the m*a*s*h releases can contain 8 episodes on 1 side per disc, why not Bob Newhart? What's with the 2 discs in 1 slim case and 1 in the other? They know we will buy the set anyway, because we want the episodes, but this cheap crappy packaging is really an insult to us consumers. How much are they really saving per set with this cheapness???

The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the teeny tiny writing on the discs. It's hard to see what's on each side. But the shows are beyond compare! All the characters are wonderful, with their quirky personalities, and no one has a face like Bob Newhart for evoking laughter, just by his reactions. I was surprised how many of the lines came back to me after all these years.

I'm so glad Fox came out with this set. The Bob Newhart Show is funny, sophisticated, clever, and a great example of top-notch sitcom writing. Bob Newhart, as usual, underplays his role perfectly, and is supported by a full cast of ace standup and screen comedians that have become sitcom legends.Many of the best episodes are here in the first season. Also significant is that the film transfer looks substantially better than what has been on TV for years, and the episodes are full-length instead of truncated synidicated cuts. My only complaint is that the menus are a little hokey.But overall, a great set for a very small price. If you enjoy shows like TAXI, Barney Miller, The Odd Couple, or Cheers, you will really enjoy this set. And if you're already a Bob Newhart Show fan, this is a no-brainer purchase. Buy it.

The book is certainly enjoyble and inspirational but starts with a flaw. Perhaps the author himself does not encounter the problems me and many of my peers do, but that doesn't give him the right to lie by saying that latinos are a race. This is certainly not true and it enhances ignorance among both hispanics and non-hispanics. Nevertheless, I still recommend the book to anyone because the ultimate purpose of the author is to construct a model for inspiration so as to motivate others who have gone through similar circumstances. The title, however, should be changed.

This book starts off pretty good and sucks you in, but about halfway through it feels like it's dragging on and on. I kept waiting for the mysterious part, but all I got was island. I read a summary and it turns out there isn't much mystery after all. Don't bother.

Loved reading it, good book."The book tells the adventures of five Americans on an uncharted island in the South Pacific. The story begins in the American Civil War, during the siege of Richmond, Virginia, the capital of the Confederate States of America."
