I did a thing in Chicago last Friday - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I aired my grievances to Dr. Robert Hartley at Navy Pier. He was pretty quiet, but he at least seemed like he was listening.

You look good, but who’s the guy on the left?

Real question——Why is the statue out on the docks? Is there some significance to that that I’m missing?

I don't think there is. He used to be on the other end of Navy Pier next to a grassed area and that's where I thought that he still was at first because there's a bunch of pictures online of him there, plus I saw that there were other statues there. We checked there first and then we had to walk all the way to the other end to find him.

Cool ! I'm thinking maybe cause they figure a lot of tourists might he there at the pier and Dr. Hartley/ Bob Newhart is very associated with Chicago ? Or he's at the docks cause he is a doc.?

I did some googling and found it was originally in front of where his fictional office was. Then it was moved.

>>>The statue will be located until Nov. 1 outside 430 N. Michigan Ave., which was featured in the show’s opening credits as Hartley’s office. It will then be moved about a mile east to Navy Pier because of concerns about the statue impeding pedestrian traffic.<<<

It made more sense to have to in the downtown area.

Yeah, it would seem like it would be more associated with where Dr.Hartley's office was , but I guess they think the sidewalks there are already too crowded and it would be in the way of foot traffic?!

If you do end up going to Chicago then I fully expect to see a picture of you with the statue.
