The finale of Newhart

May 21, 1990

Everyone had to check out of the Stratford Inn when the last episode of Newhart aired on CBS-TV on this date.

After the 7th season, Bob Newhart decided the 8th season would be the final season for the show. When he told his wife Ginny Newhart of his decision, she suggested that for the final episode, his character should wake up in bed next to Suzanne Pleshette, and that the series should be a dream.
