@Pretzel great choices. i had stopped watching Newhart but when i found out it was the finale, i watched. That was great! and i cried my eyes out when Henry died

@DIABLISS I had heard about Henry before the episode aired - but when I watch this I still get the same "hard to breathe" reaction.

an interesting fact: supposedly the actors had no idea that this was the ending - can't remember if they had to re-take it but they were still dealing with their personal reaction to it.

there is an accidental drop of one of the instruments - and they kept it in because it seemed like a legit shocked reaction to the news.

it was a great tv show on so many levels.
@Pretzel yes, but the sexism pissed me off
Pretzel · 61-69, M
@DIABLISS it was definitely a show that showed its age.

many of the jokes and situations from another decade or two, or three...or (you get the picture) aren't funny when viewed in the current time.

our humor is based on what is funny at the time - and that changes.

I LOVE to watch old movies from the 30s and 40s but they often include a black person playing as mentally slow or subservient and I have the same reaction.
@Pretzel watch "lifeboat" directed by Hitchcock. that is one of the things i love about it. They call this guy Charcoal....then eventually some call him by his name and he is always the voice of reason.

@DIABLISS yeah it was a good movie!
I love hitchcock - even his crap stuff
@Pretzel what is crap stuff?
Pretzel · 61-69, M
@DIABLISS if you go to youtube and search hitchcock you'll see stuff from the 20s and 30s - before he hit his stride - even that stuff (which the experts call bad, was better than a lot of the stuff that was put out at the same time)
