About that little computer mix-up:

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
I’m not going to spend a lot of time talking about the finale of the Republican National Convention and Former President Hannibal Lecter’s incredibly long, weird, and somehow boring speech. I’ll just leave a few reviews here and call it a day.

Variety: Donald Trump Became a Reality TV Star Again With His Rambling Convention Speech
Imagine telling 2004 Republicans that Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock would headline Donald Trumps third nomination 5 days after he got shot in the ear.

The New York Times: Donald Trump Promised a Softer Image. He Delivered Hulkamania.
Stephen Colbert, who broadcast live following the speech, called it “deeply, psychotically weird” and he’s not wrong.
With the sad news of Bob Newhart’s passing (see below), a recounting of the greatest series finale ever. And if you didn’t like it? “OK.”
Here’s where you can stream some of Bob Newhart’s best shows and movies.
Asking the important questions.
Elaine Stritch was a queen and if she wanted to keep her wardrobe, SHE GETS TO KEEP HER WARDROBE.
The head writer of Days of Our Lives for the past seven years, Ron Carlivati, is leaving the show effectively immediately. WHAT’S GOING ON THERE?
Teresa Giudice doing some shady shit???!? Who could imagine!
Apple is considering adding other studios’ movies and shows to Apple TV+ to fill out the streamer a bit. It’s currently a great streaming service, offering some fantastic shows and films, but barely anyone subscribes to it.
The bad news is we’re not getting another season of Fargo anytime soon. The good news is it sounds like we will be getting another season of Fargo at some point, which wasn’t necessarily a given.
Sounds like we’ve dodged another strike.
Isabella Strahan is officially cancer-free, thank goodness.

R.I.P.
Bob Newhart, TV comedy icon and star of The Bob Newhart Show, and Newhart among others (and he got his comedy start in Houston).
Today, we mourn the loss of Bob Newhart, a comedy legend and beloved performer who kept Americans laughing for decades.
Today, he was reunited with his wife Ginnie. My thoughts are with his children and grandchildren, and all those whose days were brightened by his work.

My second Job in Hollywood was the Bob Newhart show
My first comedy album was Bob Newhart's ..
What a wonderful human being
Rest in a Peace that is very funny https://t.co/1MUGVpRcjX— Henry Winkler (@hwinkler4real) July 19, 2024
Bob Newhart taught countless generations of comedians that you could be funny, smart, uncompromising, and still win on your own terms. This is an immeasurable loss.

“For years I begged Bob to appear on one of my shows. He always said no. But then he fell in love with The Big Bang Theory and said yes – with two provisions. One: his character had to have an arc that spanned several episodes. And two: he wanted to win an Emmy. We delivered on both. I got to work with a comedy legend. A master of the craft, and a kind and gentle man. I even got to call him a friend. How lucky am I?”— Chuck Lorre
From his groundbreaking stand-up to his two classic sitcoms he gave us a lifetime of laughter. Truly one-of-a-kind. Thank you Bob Newhart!#RIP pic.twitter.com/NlkJNuOw80

Bob Newhart was the kindest most hilarious man. He asked me to make a documentary about his friendship with Don Rickles. I was so lucky to get to spend that time with my hero. His brilliant comedy and gentle spirit made everyone he encountered so happy. "Bob and Don: A…

And we lose another comedy legend. I had the honor of doing a guest role on Newhart & got to spend the week listening to the great Bob Newhart making us all laugh. A brilliant standup & comedic actor, he was truly one of a kind. His legacy will live on. https://t.co/dxGXnLoPYx

As a child, the Bob Newhart Show provided countless hours of enjoyment for me – it constituted some of my earliest training in the art of sitcom. When I got to work with alongside him on TBBT, it was absolutely a dream come true. He was effortlessly professional, poised,… pic.twitter.com/mFTEBtmWdG

Such a loss! One of my first jobs in LA was the old Bob Newhart Show, directed by Dick Martin, of Rowan & Martin. What a joy to work with that group! Bob was so kind & such a doll, and always so gracious whenever I ran into him over these decades. A real One-Of-A-Kind! A loss… https://t.co/FyF8ozv11G

Bob Newhart was a giant, a genius, and a great guy. I’ll always remember when he hosted SNL and did a stellar show. He was, as you might expect, a joy to work with. May his memory be a blessing. https://t.co/5EUfsdR37g

RIP Bob Newhart. I loved him. I played weather girl Buffy Denver on his show and he couldn't have been nicer or more supportive. You CAN meet your hero's, because he was everything. https://t.co/1vcWpXbP4p

There aren’t many comedians that I admired as much,or frankly,stole from as much as Bob Newhart.He made quietly thinking on camera hilarious.The pause was his art. Clearly,in this photo you can see the admiration was mutual.A loving goodbye to one of the greatest comics ever. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/nzMe9bu6JQ

Remember when Conan locked Bob Newhart in an airtight container so the Emmys wouldn’t run over 3 hours? Still maybe the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on an awards show.
