Quotable Quotes:
"The key to the show, believe it or not, was that we wanted to give him [Bob Newhart] a life at home. We wanted to do a show like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, where he lives and where he works. … We did not want to do a show with kids. We did not want to do a show with dogs and pets like the old situation comedies of all."
"We always just wanted to do an honest, real show about real people. When you do a show for six years, the real people become less real."
