In love with LOVE THAT BOB!


LOVE THAT BOB is a truly laugh out loud funny sitcom! Especially when the character of Pamela is on, I just get the giggles so bad! And the chemistry between Bob and Ann B. Davis' character is not to be missed!

This is truly one of those rare classic sitcoms that has everything it takes to be memorable, if only given the chance. I truly believe that the reason the show isn't discussed more is that it hasn't been seen the way others such as I LOVE LUCY have been.

It's time that LOVE THAT BOB started being rerun on television. Who agrees? I have the public domain episodes, as well as a few others people of recorded over the years, but I certainly would be willing to pay for the entire series season sets, wouldn't you?

Yes, I'm truly in love with LOVE THAT BOB! It is nostalgia in its finest. Watching an episode of it, one immediately feels at ease with the world, and with everything in it.

There may be fabulous other shows that are great and intelligent. But nothing stands the test of time like sitcoms, which are infinitely more enjoyable on repeats than cereals are. So even though some of the new shows like ONCE UPON A TIME and RESURRECTION may be some of the most intelligent shows I've ever seen in my life, I don't think I will be watching them on repeats often, if at all, the way I would be watching something like LOVE THAT BOB.

This show really deserves more love – it needs to be released at long last so that everyone can fall in love with LOVE THAT BOB the way I have!

I remember it as The Bob Cummings Show. Very funny and Bob was sooo handsome.

Do you remember seeing My Hero?

I think I've seen maybe one episode of MY HERO – but I don't remember it very well. I too am a fan of Bob Cummings though – he sure was handsome! And so charismatic! 😀

What I remember most about this show is Joi Lansing. Unforgettable.

Ann B. Davis, who played Schultzy, just died in June, 2014 when she fell in the shower.
