 Newhart
Newhart

Newhart- Theme Song
The CBS series "Newhart" marked the return of Bob Newhart, to network television four years after the end of the highly successful "Bob Newhart Show". This long-running series was indeed a worthy successor, running for eight years. Newhart portrays Dick Loudon, a "how-to" book writer and owner of a bed & breakfast, the Stratford Inn, in scenic rural Vermont. With wife Joanna (Mary Frann), they arrive full of anticipation but the down-to-earth folks they expect to find are more eccentric than expected. Introduced early in the series were handyman George Utley (Tom Poston) and habitual liar and nearby cafe owner Kirk (Steven Kampmann). Memorable characters Larry (William Sanderson), Darryl (Tony Papenfuss) and his other brother Darryl (John Voldstad) were bewildering to Dick, and nearly everyone else. Michael (Peter Scolari) and Stephanie (Julia Duffy) were preppy and superficial, eventually married and had a child.
The series remained popular from 1982 though 1990 but may be best remembered for one of the best series finales in television history. At the end of the final episode, Dick is knocked unconscious by an errant golf ball, wakes up in bed with Emily (Suzanne Pleshette) from "The Bob Newhart Show", and proceeds to tell her about his bizarre dream of being an innkeeper in rural Vermont.
