We watched the first episode last night. Wow...what a miserable first show. The feel of it was like watching bad, live theater. The lighting, the sounds, the clarity... It was horrible. And nothing was funny.
We skipped to the next episode and things began to click. My big beef is, Bob always seems to be looking at cue cards. It's very distracting.
I seem to remember Newhart with Michael and Stepanie in it, so maybe everything got much better in later shows (Season 3, maybe).
The show doesn't really take off until the 2nd season, and then it really gets great by the 3rd and 4th. The first season is shot differently, very humdrum and poorly timed. I'm amazed it got continued for a second season!
As much I love Bob's '80s Newhart show, I'm still really irritated that Fox has released this first season when they have failed to release the final two seasons of the '70s BN Show (and they have no plans to do so). Makes no sense.

What about Cheers Season 9? There's another one that's taken eons to get a release after the first 8 seasons came out like clockwork.
It's also happened to "Home Improvement". The first 7 seasons came out regularly about every 3 - 4 months...but suddenly, before they deliver the final season (8)...nothing. We're coming up on almost a year since season 7 came out. Buena Vista is tryin' to kill me!
