Re: Newhart?
Unfortunately, season 1 is not the best season of the show. It is good, but it gets better in season 2 when they replace Jennifer Holmes as Leslie with Julia Duffy as Stephanie, and then better still in season 3 when Peter Scolari joins the cast.
First seasons tend to sell the best no matter what the circumstances, but that's partly because they never advertise, and if they do they only advertise season 1. This is a problem with all studios. I saw TV ads for Dallas S1/S2, but none for subsequent seasons.
I just hope they don't try the same hatchet job they pulled on WKRP in Cincinnati for what few songs are used in the show (some of them even made it onto the MTM Home Video releases).
