Danny h The funniest clean show ever recorded. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review John Y Final scene notwithstanding, this season just wasn’t good. Stories were ridiculous and it seemed more like a chance to give Bob Newhart’s pals (Bill Daily, Tim Conway, etc.) guest slots. Worst season of the series. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
