Bob Newhart was one of those familiars from the past. You remember the familiars, even if they were in the background. My parents watched his show, though I at that age was never a fan; Bob would come on Johnny Carson and I'd see him at night with my grandpa, as we both dozed.
As time goes on you lose the familiars, more and more of the anchor points that establish relationship with the world around you. Family dies, and it leaves a hole you can't articulate even if you gather the strength to look at it directly.
And at some point, you realize the twilight of your youth set a long while ago, all while you weren't looking.
