He made the fatal mistake of not including his own name.

4. Newhart

I remember that episode where the townspeople think there are UFO's. I think it was around Halloween. There's lights over the airport and truck like noises coming from the highway.

On a related note, Newhart was great as Major Major in Catch-22.

7. Bon Newhart was also in another movie, "Cold Turkey"

Directed by Norman Lear. Also starred Dick Van Dyke and Jean Stapleton. About a town in Iowa who's citzens quit smoking for a month...so the town can get $25 million. A movie I liked very much.

5. He Was Also in Another Series As Well

A variety show called "The Entertainers" - CBS, mid-'60s. I think Carol Burnette was on this show, too.

6. The original

Newhart's supporting characters annoyed me more.

8. I'll just make one up, too.

Bob plays "Bob Fett", the first mildly bemused Jedi Psychologist. The pilot shows why he became a Jedi psychologist rather than a Jedi Knight. (In the "Tree of Fear" he sliced off Darth Vaders head and inside the helmet found the head of Suzanne Pleshette.)

Famous quotes:

"Tell me why you feel it's important to rule the galaxy, star from star?"

"Why do you think you see a space station in this inkblot, rather than, say, a small moon?"
