''Newhart'' was a solid ratings winner, finishing its first six seasons in the [[Nielsen ratings|Nielsen]] top 25. Despite not finishing in the top 30 for its last two seasons, Bob Newhart stated in an interview with the [[Archive of American Television]] that CBS was satisfied enough with the show's ratings to renew it for a ninth season in 1990. However, Newhart, who was anxious to move on to other projects, declined the offer, promising CBS that he would develop a new series for the network, which he was under contract to do. This resulted in the 1992 series ''[[Bob (TV series)|Bob]]'', which lasted two seasons.
