📺This scene from The Bob Newhart Show is pure classic sitcom absurdity. Bob’s patient is a ventriloquist who believes his dummy wants to leave the act and go solo. The dummy starts talking back during the therapy session, and Newhart just plays it completely straight. That deadpan reaction to escalating nonsense is what he did better than almost anyone. It’s a great example of how the show could take a ridiculous premise and make it work through understatement. ❓I used to watch this show when I was about 11 years old. It was so funny. Did you watch The Newhart Show? #BobNewhart #TheBobNewhartShow #ClassicTV #70sTV #Sitcom #Comedy

One of best Taxi moments is when Jim's (Christopher Lloyd) father died and asks his dad if he could hear just once that he loved him. The masterclass is done when Jim finally realizes, without saying a word, that his dad loved him more than he could know. Happy Birthday Chris!

Let's recall Bob Beamon as he charges down the runway first time out with intent and takes off in sensational fashion to land way out where no man has dreamt of before at a staggering WR of 8.90 (2.0) to clinch Olympic gold sight unseen in the LJ in Mexico (A) 56 years ago today

To the @Cal @CalFootball team: the loss hurt my heart, but my real heartache is for all of you, as I know this loss hurt your hearts - to the @NCAA: if officials do not call targeting such as we saw, you have no standing to assert that you care about athlete health and safety.

As we all grieve the immense loss of actor James Earl Jones (Star Wars, The Lion King), I wanted to celebrate one his funnier milestones, reading Letterman’s best Top Ten List, reciting commercial jingles with his spectacular, powerful, booming voice. #RIPJamesEarlJones

Goodbye to the brilliant James Earl Jones. He gave one of the finest poetic speeches in cinema history. I still feel the same way about baseball all these years later. Field of Dreams
