Bob Newhart: Unbuttoned

Shy and unassuming, the "Dean of Deadpan" exploded on the comedy scene in 1960. Over the years, Newhart's cool, calculated routines became part of Americana, from his one-way telephone conversations to the "nervous monologue" sketch. He went on to create and star in critically acclaimed sitcom staples of the 1970s and '80s, influencing generations of other comics, and is still winning applause.
