| Review:
|
Bob Newhart plays Dr. Bob Hartley who lives in his
Chicago high-rise apartment, and the third season continues
on his life and the people he ends up dealing with. Newhart
seals the show with his always bland look of sarcasm. The
show is particularly funny due to the contrast of Bob dealing
with patients' problems at work and his own problems at
home. In this season Bob finally comes to realization that
he may need more help than his patients do. With no confidence
in his obsessive compulsive self, Bob tries to get things
together. The season 3 set comes with all 24 episodes, a
perfect collection for any fan. --
Image & Sound:
The set comes in English or dubbed Spanish, both of
which are Dolby Digital mono tracks. You also have the option
of English and Spanish subtitles. The sound, while a mono
track, provides everything you need for the show. Since
the show is a sitcom and takes place on studio sets the
sound really has no need to be dynamic. The audio does the
show justice. As for picture, the shows are shown in their
original 4:3 aspect ratio. The show is 34 years old, so
don't expect a transfer with vibrant colors and perfect
picture. You'll get the same video quality as if you were
watching it on television, it does the set justice. ---

Features: |
The set doesn't boast anything
spectacular in terms of special features. You have the standard
"making of" featurette and 3 commentaries. You don't come
to expect a commentary on every episode for a television set,
but you do come to expect at least more than 3 episode commentaries
when the set has 24 episodes total. |

Final Words:
|
The set will please fans of
the beloved sitcom but the set can't compare to the effort
put forward by newer shows. One complaint that many people
may have is that all three discs of the set are flippers,
which means that there are episodes on both sides of the disc.
So if you have a 5 disc DVD player and are the kind of person
that likes to put all the discs in and watch them, the double
sided discs kind of defeat the purpose cause you'll have to
get up to turn them over. Overall, the set will satisfy fans
of the show, but those looking for a little insight behind
the scenes won't find much. |
