[edit] Cut 1
Cut from the article:
- [One reader wonders if the names Larry, Darryl, and Darryl were inspired by the character Larry Darrell, protagonist of W. Somerset Maugham's novel "The Razor's Edge." That Larry was, of course, not very conversant, and was rather cryptic when he did divulge anything about himself. Any known facts about this would be appreciated.]

[edit] Cut 2
Also cut from the article:
- In 1991, the characters from "The Bob Newhart Show" reunited in a prime-time special, analyzing Bob's dream. During the exchange, the Hartleys' neighbor Howard Borden (Bill Daily) recalls "I had a dream like that once. I dreamed I was an astronaut in Florida for five years" as scenes from "I Dream of Jeannie" featuring Daily were interjected. The "five years" referenced "Jeannie's" 1966-71 run on NBC.
I couldn't find a good place for it in the two minutes I had to think about it. Hope someone finds it a new home (that is NOT mixed in randomly with "The Last Newhart" section).

[edit] Larry, Darryl and Darryl's first appearance
These three characters were in the premiere episode of Newhart. They did not wait until Season 2 to show up. I'll admit that they may not have been prominent characters until Season 2, but they were in the show for its entire run. See imdb for verification of this. Pacific1982 13:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
OK, I stand partially corrected. L, D & D made their first appearance in the second episode of Newhart. But of course that still puts them in Season 1. Pacific1982 13:39, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Current TV Info needed
Newhart is still on television in reruns in Canada and Australia. Can someone post the channel info and times? Also does anyone have information regarding the lack of this show in the US? It is never on US television and not available on DVD. Is it under contractual dispute? Rugz 07:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Season one was released on dvd on Feb,2008.--BeckiGreen (talk) 02:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series
I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 17:22, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Boston Celtics?
What does this series have to do with the basketball team? Clarityfiend (talk) 23:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Section labelled "Changes"
Should probably be cut completely, as its OR. I've already cut the sentence that stated Kirk had to written out after Leslie left, because he had followed Leslie to Vermont. This is flat-out wrong. Kirk did *not* follow Leslie to Vermont -- it's clearly established on numerous occasions that he was there for at least a year or two before the start of the series. Leslie, meanwhile, didn't arrive in Vermont until the first episode, when she and Kirk met for the very first time.
So it's not only original research, it's sloppy original research. 192.30.202.21 (talk) 22:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
