“Buddy said, ‘I’ve got a girl for you,'” Newhart recounted. I’m going to set you up on a blind date since she is going out with another man, but I don’t think he is the perfect one for her. You’ll meet her, start dating, and eventually get hitched. 

They got hitched a year later.

“The Bob Newhart Show” enjoyed a successful six-season run on CBS’ Saturday schedule, which also featured other popular shows like “All in the Family,” “M*A*S*H,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” and “The Carol Burnett Show.”

The highly praised series finale of “Newhart,” which aired from 1982 to 1990, was likewise the brainchild of Ginnie.

Bob gave Parade magazine his advice on how to have a happy marriage last year.

Despite their turbulent marriages, he claimed that comedians’ relationships “seem to last a long time, and I attribute it to laughter.” “No matter how heated your fight is becoming, you can always find a remark that makes you both glance at each other and break out in laughter. You know it’s done?

I really believe that a marriage’s durability depends on its sense of humor.

Ginnie Newhart and Bob have lived in Los Angeles for the past 60 years, where they raised their four children, Rob, Tim, Jennifer, and Courtney. They are also the proud grandparents of 10 grandkids.
