Fun for the whole family.......2007-02-03

I bought this because my husband and I both enjoy the humor of Bob Newhart. When I introduced my children to it, they loved it, too. They enjoyed the cd so much that I have had to retrieve it from their rooms on more than one occasion. "Introducing Tobacco to Civilization" and "Driving Instructor" are our family's personal favorites, but the whole cd is a lot of fun.

Great routines, but not the best package.......2006-02-02

These routines never get dated (even though Newhart bombed with the "King Kong" routine as his SNL monologue; it wasn't the right venue, and many had already heard it). These are some of his classics. However, why would you pay almost $20 for an import when he has an anthology of ALL his routines going for under $15? Go for "Something Like This..." instead!

Bob Newhart's anthology is way better than this CD!.......2002-04-21

What more can you get with some of all these tracks on this compilation import which they can be found on Rhino records own two-double CD set collection of "Something Like This..." a better choice. Don't get me wrong this is good and okay for listening to it here sometimes but everyone has an opinion on something what they like or don't dislike!

Real Comedy.......2000-01-07

Just loved this CD! Bob Newhart's comedy is never out-dated and proves a long standing theory of mine, that real comedy doesn't require obscenity to be funny! This CD has original material that could only come from the brilliant mind of Bob Newhart! It's hilarious!

In regard to the mutiny..........2006-09-10

Bob Newhart recorded some of the best selling comedy albums of all time in the early 1960s. This CD is a recording of a performance from 1995, where he performs some of his classic routines. Bob is as funny as ever, and so are these routines. I actually saw Bob's act in person, which was great, but if you can't see him person, this CD will give you an idea of what you missed.

Clean, Witty Humor.......2006-04-27

It is often very difficult to find humor which is not topically modern or uncreatively vulgar. This gem is unquestionably neither. While somewhat dry at times, Bob Newhart clearly has a wit which shows forth magnificently in this routine which is over 40 years old. It does not seem dated at all and gives me laughs every time that I listen to it. If you are looking for comedy which is truly creative and well-presented, this is a great buy!

Newhart's comedic timing is incredible..........2004-12-11

This is a reprise of his 1961 Grammy winning album. It's all made up of make-believe phone calls and Newhart's timing is incredible. Amazing fact I got from the liner notes...Each of his seven albums sold over a million copies and his longevity for holding the #1 and #2 chart positions simultaneously was not broken until 1995 by Guns and Roses!

An up to date version of the Best Of Bob!!!.......2002-07-31

I first heard about this CD when Bob Newhart was on the Tonight Show promoting it, and I ran to my local record store to get it. What makes this album a little different than his early classic ones, is the editing, because they left in all the timing pauses that are crucial to his unique delivery. He himself even said that his old albums were edited to speed up the routines, making him sound like he was talking much faster than he was actually able to. Just an interesting bit of trivia I thought I'd share with all of you! Buy this CD! You won't regret it, it is something that all ages can enjoy and there's nothing dirty on it that would offend anyone! (I believe this is also available on video, but it might have to be special ordered.) But like many other reviewers have mentioned, it is great for in the car, as is all his materials on CD! And Mr. Newhart, if you happen to read this, thanks for buttoning down your mind with us!

Pure clean laughter.......2002-05-23

I first heard this when being trained to be a tour bus driver in alaska. we were told we could use something like this for the longer drives when there wasnt a glacier or grizzly bear or moose to point out, or when we ourselves ran out of our corny jokes. and boy did i crack up listening to this. easily i would replace my corny jokes with this romp. and what's great is that there is a piece in here about bus drivers! hehe!

my favorites have to be the ones about the bus driver, the discovery of baseball, and the discovery of tobacco.

this is just simply pure clean fun and worthy of everbody's ears!
