Bob Trivia:
Bob Newhart was one of most often used guest hosts for when Johnny Carson took time off the Tonight Show. He guest hosted 87 times!
Despite Bob Newhart's amazing talent and a wonderful supporting cast, the Bob TV show never gained an audience of any substance. At the beginning season CBS even brought in some new Cast including megastar Betty White ("Life With Elizabeth", "Date With the Angels", "Mary Tyler Moore Show", "The Betty White Show", "Mama's Family", "The Golden Girls", "Golden Palace", "Ladie's Man", "Boston Legal") and moved the show to a better time slot, but that didn't help either. The series probably would have made it for several seasons if CBS had left the original cast and plot of the show alone and simply moved it to the better time slot. Most critics and fans felt that the show was great the way it was in the first season.
In 1993, composer Lee Holdridge secured an Emmy nomination for the Bob TV show for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Main Title Theme Music". Unfortunately, Lee got beat out by Dennis McCarthy for his theme music for the series, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".
