The Bob Newhart Show (TV Series) Still Crazy After All These Years (1976) User Reviews

A gem of an episode.

I love Leonard Stone - from playing Mr. Farnum on Lost In Space, through his appearance as Violet Beauregard's father in Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Mr. Stone is a great character actor, who uses his voice and face to great effect, and in this episode, there's a lot of visual and verbal humour - just watch Dr. Podbillion's eyebrows.

What makes this episode truly funny is Dr. Podbillion uses his method - the Podbillion Method, 'natch, on Howard, and the effects - as embodied by Bill Dailey - are very, very funny (I'm laughing right now, thinking about it).

As the above-reviewer said, 'record it', and I second that - this episode's a keeper.

I'm certain that after watching this, you will feel 'fine and dandy' 😉.

So freaking funny.. For a dollar, you gotta remember this....

To date, the 5th and 6th seasons, are only available on cable, and in my opinion, the best Bob has to offer, the 1975, and the bicentennial year.

In this, the 100th episode, Leonard Stone plays an insufferable, full of himself colleague, that Bob begins to hate... until he finally tells him.... 'HERE'S A DOLLAR.... PLEASE NEVER SAY FINE AND DANDY TO ME, AGAIN.

As Dr "Podbillion" snatches the dollar, and begins to say "FINE AND DANDY", Bob slams the office door in his face. Absolutely hilarious.

Leonard Stone played the father of the Blueberry in 1970s, WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY ("Violet... your turning violet"), and a gay apartment owner in PARTNERS (1980).

Record this episode on your VCR, or rather...Tivo... you won't regret it.
