In the Works: TBS Says Hi to Bob Newhart
TBS announced on Tuesday morning that in addition to renewing 10 Items or Less for a second season, it has the following series in development: Uncommon Sense, a domestic comedy penned by Larry Miller; Big Shot, a Jamie Foxx-produced series about a teenage NBA rookie; a Dave Caplan (Drew Carey Show)-penned laffer about a woman who finds humor in life despite adversity; and Bob Newhart: In Search of Comedy, a late-night comedy anthology.
Over at A&E, Ice Cube has been tapped to produce Good in the Hood, a reality-series pilot in which a reformed gang member, drug dealer or thief helps similar folk turn their lives around.

Bob Newhart back on TV? It's about time. He has given me so many hours of joy in his past shows. The final scene of his series where he owned the Inn is still one of the best scenes ever in TV comedy. (The whole series was a dream)

It will be great to see Bob Newhart back as long as the show is good Remember his last show as the greeting card writer with Betty White I think it was called Bob that didn't fair to well nor did the one with Judd Hirsch.
Newhart is a true TV giant.

I love Bob Newhart.
The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, Bob, George & Leo; appearances on The Tonight Show and Desperate Housewives; movies like Elf and In & Out -- I'm always happy to see him.
He always makes whatever he's in better -- even those dreadful TNT Librarian TV movies.
I just hope his role on this new show isn't limited to being a host, only appearing long enough to introduce stories featuring a young cast of unknowns.
If I'm watching a show with Bob, I want to see Bob!
