Bob Newhart has died

I was a Bob Newhart fan long before he got a TV series. His phone routines killed. He showed up on Ed Sullivan and Carson all the time. He had a supporting role in Hell is for Heroes where they basically rewrote his routine into the script. The thing I'm most jealous of is Suzanne Pleshette.

I know I posted the Simpsons clip on page 1 - but it just came to me that he was my 93 year old grandfather's favorite comedian. Who is as great an American as any of us could ever hope to be. 

It's probably tough to estimate the impact Newhart had on American society and comedy. And I wouldn't know where to start as I'm way too young to have even really appreciated him.
