Newhart: The Complete Third Season

Bob Newhart is one of a kind, and his comedy is situational. Great supporting cast. Love the three brothers Larry, Darryl, and Darryl. Stephanie played by Julia Duffy is worth the price of admission all by herself. Her boyfriend played by Peter Scolai is a trip and as different as one could be matched as the counter to Stephanie, and of course Bob Newhart himself. Newhart's wife Joanna played by Mary Frann is a one of a kind sweet and loving wife who doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Then there is of course George Utley played by Tom Posten the Vermont Inn's handyman. This is the third season. In all there were 184 episodes produced. That in itself speaks volumes of the quality and durability of this series. I liked it much better than Newhart's earlier successful show titled The Bob Newhart Show. The storyline basically is that Dick Loudon and his wife Joanna decide to leave life in New York City and buy a little inn in Vermont. Dick is a how-to book writer, who eventually becomes a local TV celebrity as host of "Vermont Today." George Utley is the handyman at the inn and Leslie Vanderkellen is the original maid. She is later replaced by her cousin Stephanie, an heiress who hates her job. Her boyfriend is Dick's yuppie TV producer, Michael Harris. There are many other quirky characters in this fictional little town, including Dick's neighbors Larry, Darryl, and Darryl...three brothers who buy the Minuteman Cafe from Kirk Devane. Besides sharing a name, Darryl and Darryl never speak (until the final episode of the series).

The third disc of Newhart Season 3 will not play. Otherwise, all the other two are fine and I have enjoyed them. I never heard anything from you and now have received another set from someone else with a disc missing. What's the deal with these sets being screwed up and I paid for three discs in both sets.

Bob Newhart is a great deadpan actor. The way he just looks at people to see if they are seriously saying what they are saying is priceless, especially the three brothers Larry, Daryl and Daryl. The way the show is set in an old Inn in New England is a great location for comedy in a outdoorsy way, but inside. {Ha, ha} It was one of those priceless comedies took you for a ride and just kept going.

I bought the first DVD several years ago and expected the entire series to be released in a timely manner. Much like other TV shows, the low life's that released the first DVD released only that one season. I was so pleasantly pleased to discover that Shout Factory would be releasing the rest of the seven remaining seasons. Season three continues with the charm and wit of all of the principle actors and actresses from season two, with Julia Duffy and Larry, Darryl and Darryl contributing more and more laughs. This was such a great comedy with good clean humor and wit that is sadly missing in the "reality" crap shows that dominate today's TV. Kudos to Shout for making this beloved series available. Known for their quality and thoroughness, I completely expect all seasons to become available in short order. Season two was made available just several months ago and here in mid April we have season three. Thank you Shout Factory for making this beloved series available in pristine condition. Great quality DVDs.Stephen CourtsApril 29, 2014

Love watching these old TV shows. Smart writing and funny enjoyable characters.

I always loved this show, but never realized how funny it truly is as compared to what is described as comedy today. This show is hysterical, and Bob Newhart and company never fail to deliver the laughs. I also love his dry sense of humor, and this season had me laughing the entire time. It makes me long for the days when this kind of programming was the norm. Loved it, and looking forward to the release of the next Season. I also cannot wait for Season 5, as the episode Goodbye and Good Riddance Mr. Chips, was hilarious, as Dick decides to take a typing class, and his teacher is none other than the same man who taught him Geography in elementary school, and he still treats him and the class as if they were all ten years old.

I love this show. The top 5 episodes of this season are1 Miss Stephanie2 A Hunting We Will Go3 Lady in Wading4 Once I Had a Secret Love5 Poor ReceptionGreat Show

Season One was good, but the lighting seemed weird to me, I didn't like most of Season Two, the writing wasn't very good, but Season Three is the way I remember the Newhart show, I like every episode. I'm up to Season five and it's still great. Starting with Season Three, Larry, Darryl & Darryl are on most of the time, evolving into putting an appearance in each episode starting by Season Four.

The delivery was on time during the busy Christmas season and we enjoyed many good laughs with the video.

Good old and witty comedy. No longer have those type comedies in 2021!

Great clean fun comedy to watch.

I received the 3RD season DVD's for Newhart very quickly. Thank you

Great family show, clear picture. The characters seem to come right out of the screen, and it's not bluray!
