Bob is an American sitcom created by Bill & Cheri Steinkellner and Phoef Sutton for CBS. It ran from September 18, 1992 to December 27, 1993 for two seasons.

Series summary[]

Back in the 1950s, Bob McKay (Bob Newhart) created Mad-Dog, a popular superhero character, but after a Senate sub-committee had the comic shut down, he faded into obscurity. Years later, mega-global corporation AmCanTranConComCo buys up the rights to Mad-Dog and tries to bring it back as a gritty and violent character. The series follows McKay's trials and tribulations as his career is revived in a most unusual fashion.
