Newhart's run on AntennaTV - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The AntennaTV run has gone through two seasons now, and I'm surprised how well the early shows have held up. I always thought Kirk was funny, but so many people seem to hate him that I was sort of expecting to find out my memory of him was incorrect. I still think he was funny, though I can see that the lying schtick might have worn thin if he had stayed on beyond the two years.

He was OK, but I like Larry and his brothers Darryl running the Minuteman better and being in the show more!

I like watching it and don't remember alot of the episodes.

I like them for the show, I think they are funny! But if they were in real life, they would be the most annoying people on earth! If I had to deal with people like them for any reason I would scream!

No more than any other supporting sitcom characters; you know what kind of things they'll say, but not exactly. I think they're great on the show, especially Stephanie. She is easily the show's most hilarious character. It's incredible that Julia Duffy was nominated for an Emmy every year she was on the show, and it's also incredible that she (unfortunately) never won. Personally I would have given her one or two of Rhea Perlman's Emmys, since Rhea won four times.

I wish they'd stop showing the same shows. I've seen them. The show was on for several years.

A lot of people are annoying in real life but for 30 minutes once a week, they are funny or aren't so bad.
