Music reviews of Something Like This... The Bob Newhart AnthologyMusic Review: Absolutely Wonderful and TimelessBob Newhart is a classic comic. He is an every man. He does not do profane or lewd material. This might make him seem like an anachronism but it worked for him instead of against him. Most comedians have trouble with their material becoming dated. Newhart does not have this problem. By dealing in the comedy of what the ordinary person can appreciate and experience in today's world, he made himself a comic for the ages. For example, he plays a bus driving training instructor getting the new drivers to be as awful as everyone has ever experienced in riding a bus. This is hilarious because just about everyone has ridden a bus and noticed the bus drivers. Honing the worst of their skills in a school is a hilarious idea which Newhart executes masterfully. Likewise, being Abe Lincoln's agent and advising him about the Gettysburg Address right before he's set to give it is a unique comic take. And who else would advise Lincoln to relax and take in a play with the wife? At the same time I recently listened to this album, I listened to Woody Allen's standup comedy routines from the 1960s. Allen's routines, by contrast to Newhart's, are dated because they are so rooted in a subculture which has all but disappeared in the USA (his Jewish life as lived in the 1960s along with his divorce and his dating life).
