My annual Elf re-watch will be sad this year.

Yeah. His scenes in Big Bang Theory will land harder now, too.

Rest in Peace, Professor Proton.

And if I ever work up the nerve to try watching the Star Wars Christmas special again... well, that probably won't happen anyway.

Right? He'd ALWAYS just "been there"... Start watching something new and... Fuck me it's Bob!

I hope they acknowledge it on the show. That means he will still be alive until the events of season 6.

If you are under 60, you may not know who he is. Go watch the Bob Newhart show. The comedy is very sharp. Probably a major influence on The Office and that kind of humor.

I've seen him in a few things. Like The Librarian.

EDIT: I should have prefaced that I'm under 40.

I use to watch him on Nick at Nite when i was about 10. Even then, i greatly enjoyed his show. Also the Dick Van Dyke show was great.

Ah, thats why his face looked familar

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

for the uninitiated, the gag "alternative ending" of breaking bad was based on the finale of one of his shows. I'm sure there are other examples but that's the one that springs to mind

What a star!

I feel like I'm the only one here that didn't know he was still alive.

RIP Bob

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Nah, I thought he died about ten years ago. Could have sworn
