I plan on reviewing all of the episodes of the first and second seasons of Newhart plus an additional four episodes in the series that I feel are worth reviewing.
This episode is called The Senator's Wife Was Indiscreet.
Even in these first two seasons before the show became completely unwatchable with the exception of 4 episodes after season 2, a lot of these episodes do not really give one much to talk about. That is the case with this episode.
Boy, is that the case here. Not much to say.
Bob Newhart gives a good performance and Tom Poston is extra hilarious here. The inn setting is maintained and that dependable laugh track is on hand. The main positive however, is the fantastic performance of Steven Kampmann as Kirk Devane. He is the best part of this episode and any episode in which he is included.
The main negatives here are the terrible script and the very poor performances of Mary Frann and Jennifer Holmes.
Next up, I'll be reviewing the eleventh episode. It is called Sprained dreams.
Stay tuned!
