Movie Reviews of The Bob Newhart Show - The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: Better Than The First Season!
Summary: 5 Stars
As funny as the first season was, the second season (1973-1974) of "The Bob Newhart Show" is even more hilarious. This show thrived on a great ensemble cast and great writing, and after the first season all the minor hiccups had been worked out. It is difficult to believe that this show not only never won any Emmy Awards, but was never even nominated for any.
Bob's patients play a bigger role this season, and in no episode is that more apparent than the first show of the season called "Last TV Show", in which his group talks him into holding one of their sessions on Television. They are also very funny in "Mutiny on the Hartley" when they try to continue without Bob after he raises his rates. Bob's sister Ellen (Pat Finley) makes her first appearance near the end of the season in "A Love Story" where she is engaged to be married until Howard enters her life.
There are numerous great episodes this season beyond those I have already mentioned, such as "Mister Emily Hartley" where an IQ test shows that Emily's is significantly higher than Bob's, "T. S. Elliot" where Mr. Carlin takes Carol out on a Date (Shirley O'Hara's first appearance as Debbie occurs in this episode), and "By The Way...You're Fired" where Carol's new romance interferes with her job duties. As with the first season there are 24 episodes, but in this season they are smoother and more consistently funny.
There are many well known guest stars in this season. Teri Garr plays Miss Brennan, a receptionist. Mariette Hartley plays Marilyn Dietz who is fought over by Howard and Jerry after Emily sets them both up with her. Katherine Helmond plays Dr. Webster, a marriage counselor that Bob and Emily go to when their marriage seems to be stuck in a rut. Ron Glass has a minor role as an Elevator Repairman. Raul Julia plays Jerry's brother who starts stealing Jerry's patients after Jerry put him through dental school. Sharon Gless plays Rosalie Shaeffer, one of Howard's girlfriends. Howard Hesseman plays Craig Plager, one of Bob's patients. Henry Winkler plays Miles Lascoe, a man on parole for armed robbery who is one of Bob's patients.
Unlike the first season set, there are some extras included with this season. There are five audio commentaries. All of them include Bob Newhart, one by himself, one with Jack Riley who played Elliot Carlin, and the last three with Marcia Wallace who played Carol and David Davis who helped create the show. The commentaries are not the best, as there are many extended pauses and some of the stories they tell they repeat on other commentaries, however, I still enjoyed listening to them because there were some interesting stories and information about the show. There is also a short featurette on the show, with some interviews. Again I would not say it was the best I have seen, but it has its moments. Nobody should buy the set because of the extras, but they do add a little something to the total package.
