Fox Entertainment officially released information to DVD retailers confirming the rumors the first season of "Newhart" will become available February 28, 2008.
Fox states the cost of the first season, 22 episodes, will be available for 39.95, although some retailers are offering discounts for advance orders. While Bob once said this series would not be released until the complete "The Bob Newhart Show" series was released, it appears Fox considers "Newhart:" as a completely separate entity, although only the first 4 seasons of "The Bob Newhart Show" has been released on DVD.
Some of the special guest stars in the first season DVD of "Newhart" include Rue McClanahan (Golden Girls), K Callan (Lois & Clark), Dana Elcar (MacGyver), Robert Pastorelli (Murphy Brown), Daniel J. Travanti (Hill Street Blues), Jerry Van Dyke (Coach) and Ruth Gordon (Harold & Maude).
