The End of A Classic: Today in 1978, "The Bob Newhart" Show Ended - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

April 1st 1978 - The final episode of "The Bob Newhart Show" aired.

In the show's final episode, "Happy Trails to You", Bob accepts a teaching position at a small college in Oregon, with the Hartleys leaving Chicago - as well as their friends and neighbors, and Bob's patients - behind them. The closing scene, in which the cast exchange tearful goodbyes and embrace before bursting into an impromptu refrain of "Oklahoma", is a wry nod to the Mary Tyler Moore Show finale (also produced by MTM) from the previous year

Me too, Monika- even if they don't, maybe another company will take over and do it instead (fingers crossed)
