Summary
"Homes and Jojo" (May 1, 1989)
Newhart is a show about white people who live in the snow, and while 70s-era Bob Newhart sitcom is the one pop culture remembers better, this is the longer-lived, more-Emmy-nominated of the two. What the 80s-era Bob New1hart sitcom has working in its favor are future Simpsons showrunner David Mirkin, who gives a host of wacky townspeople not unlike what you'd find in Springfield, and the duo of Julia Duffy and Peter Scolari, who male a perfect yuppie couple worthy of mockery. It's great. Here, learn about it.
Listen to Smart Mouth, GEE"s sister show, and in particular check out the episode "Queer Food" with John Birdsall, because if you're listening to this podcast you're probably queer and probably also you eat food.
