Newhart

Been binging this on Prime. It really hits it's stride when they jettison the original housekeeper and the diner owner next door.

Bob Newhart is so good playing the straight man to all the chaos of weirdos around him. 

It's the spiritual successor to Green Acres, in my opinion.

My favorite episode was the one where Peter Scolari put Bob in a tv show where Stephanie played twin sisters. "Seeing Double" or something. It was just one episode of this horrendous tv show and it was hilarious. At least that's what I remember from the couple of times I saw it 30 years ago.

I forgot Jason Alexander and Lisa Kudrow were in episodes.
