Jeff Corey in a cute guest starring role

I didn't watch much of the Bob Newhart Show when it was on TV as I was a little kid. But years later I've managed to catch an episode or two and this one was kind of a cute little episode where Carol falls in love with her doctor who is much older than she is. Jeff Corey guest stars as her doctor when she goes in for surgery and she falls in love with him. The only thing I didn't get is people that would criticize their relationship with him being about 60 and her being 30. Most people would seem to be shallow and assume that she was a gold digger because he was a wealthy doctor but I mean lots of older men date much younger women , and these women aren't after their money .Carol was definitely not after his money,she just found him mature and kind and sweet. When she's talking to Bob and Bob asks her how she feels about dating men her own age, she responds , Bob when I date men my age it's not called dating it's called weekends and at the end they're spouting women's lib at me and having me pick up half the check.

I found Jeff Corey very adorable and cute.

I most certainly would have dated him for sure. His features were very mature and handsome and he sports a very beautiful beard. It was nice to see at the end of the episode that they were still together and Carol decided to ignore the naysayers. I'm going to explore other episodes to see if Jeff Corey is in any more of them because it would be nice to see her still with him pursuing the relationship.
