FWIW, I was in the 'Newhart' boat on my initial listen.
The best I can find for a connection are two pretty obscure items:
* A Murphy Brown episode called "Burger, She Wrote" around the theft of a
burger restaurant mascot* Candice Bergen and Angela Lansbury starred on
Broadway in a 2012 production of The Best Man.

It was the theme to "Murder, She Wrote."And no, I couldn't figure out the
connection either.

Last night’s show was a good example of the questions I have about Batiste (I
do notice I had been spelling and saying his name incorrectly).
I am pretty sure he played on Candice Bergen with the theme from Newhart. This
raised the question, is there a sly or subtle connection (I checked to see if
maybe she was born or went to school in Vermont, but no) or was it possible
they somehow confused the shows. Or, as frankly seems his approach much of the
time, did they just choose a random TV sitcom them to play in her honor? I want
to think there is a cryptic, smart or hip explanation for things like this, but
not sure what it is.
