Bob was Bob Newhart's third sitcom (following The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart). Although it only lasted less than two full seasons (and many Bob Newhart fans felt it was a weak series), it was extremely funny. Bob played Bob McKay, who in the first season was a comic-book artist, and in the second season was in charge of a greeting card company.

Here is the complete episode list for Bob. It includes original air dates, episode numbers, episode titles, and brief episode descriptions.
