The Rebirth of Packy Rowe, Show # 413 (1979) | Insight powered by Paulist Productions

[@cynthialyman2636]

The comic timing and chemistry was perfect between Klugman and Newhart.

I saw this in 1986 or 87 when I was visiting my father in Aurora, CO. There was a PBS station that I couldn't get in my hometown, and I happened to be channel surfing and landed on this.

I love Bob Newhart and he's great in this, how perfect would this episode have been if Tony Randall played God. 🙂

[@debrahubbard763]

This made me smile.

[@InvestBetter.]

Great show

[@vincereynolds6092]

Love these shows! Didn't know they existed until now. Really have enjoyed watching them. Thanks for posting these!

[@FodorPupil]

Fantastic

[@VideoArchiveGuy]

It's truly sad that so many today haven't seen this - it's why it's here, of course, but this is so very wonderful. Certainly MeTV or one of the other digital subchannel networks that runs "The Odd Couple" or "The Bob Newhart Show" should have access to this.

[@louisbrugnoni7639]

So many stars! It’s a miracle Insight got all those great actors to do their morality plays. No pun intended!

[@Suldog29]

Wow. Who were the 23 people who didn't like this? Amazing.

[@InsightPaulistProductions]

You never know--they were probably trying to hit the like button and missed :)

A VERY memorable episode of the series.

[@zerozeroisland]

So wonderful! I never saw this one growing up. And it was directed by Jay Sandrich! He did The Odd Couple, Mary Tyler Moore, WKRP in Cincinnati, and hundreds of other classics.

[@InsightPaulistProductions]

Great talent all around!

[@joepugh678]

I wrote a book thirty years after seeing and forgetting this show. It's a very expanded version of the same. :)

[@JJDW-ku8yf]

What book?

[@mashah1085]

Sheldon was right. Professor Proton is God.

[@zan1158]

Twilight Zone with a religious twist. Nice message.

[@InsightPaulistProductions]

Exactly!

[@flwrfan1752]

Such talented people worked on this series.This episode had Jack Klugman and Bob Newhart in it of course.Directed by Jay Sandrich.Father Keisler produced a wonderful show.

[@InsightPaulistProductions]

Thanks for watching! This is one of the best episodes!

[@jenniferjordan3395]

❤️❤️❤️ delightful!!

[@Slapslickaction]

Awesome classic material, and good people.

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

I love the Insight intro and credits roll😢

[@Larch88]

Great performances; this has always been one of my favorite portrayals of God

[@JJDW-ku8yf]

Saw this in an alcohol / drug rehab when I was 21 in 1985. First time finding it since but never forgot it. Was wonderful then and is wonderful now. And if you’re curious … I got my act together, had successful career, family and semi-retired now.

[@InsightPaulistProductions]

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your story--we love to hear them!

[@PecanSandees23]

Who's peeling onions?? This was sweet.

[@InsightPaulistProductions]

One of our favorites of all the Insights!

[@shawnmichaelduncan5951]

Was around 70s never heard of this show.

10:55 A schlemiel is someone who always spills soup. A schlimazel is the one the schlemiel always spills soup on.

[@dougmilesmedia]

Great!

[@jonathanswift2251]

Bob Hartley meets Oscar Madison!

[@gmaqwert]

How are these not on DVD?

[@shawnmichaelduncan5951]

As of 9-15-2022 Bob Newhart is still alive

[@TonyGPizza]

You wonder if God sat Bob down and critiqued his performance in this wonderful series. This of course, after he said "Hi Bob" and heaven took a collective drink.

[@movieman9100]

Now if you do this Hollywood would blacklist you or treat you like an outcast.

[@bluegrassboy7544]

RIP Bob Newhart

[@artytoons]

Bob Almighty or When Oscar cleans himself up.

[@InvestBetter.]

I wonder why Bob Newhart got his own show, a sitcom, no less Jack Klugman is a great character actor. Bob Newhart? He's clearly a JAG

[@brentborchardt8693]

Maybe Newhart and God can do that Harpo Marx/Lucille Ball thing when he gets there.
