Rue McClanahan shows up at the Inn. She was George's girlfriend 31 years ago. It is that strange thing that happens when two people lead different lives but have a connection to their pasts. George is still the down to earth, non-evolving character. She is more of a lady who dresses well and is obviously educated. The humor comes from their discomfort. Eventually, some of the roughness comes off. Decent episode.

Rue McClanahan in between Maude and The Golden Girls
Jimmy_the_Gent415 January 2018
George is reunited with an old girlfriend but things are not the same.
This is an amusing and gentle episode with good performances by Poston and McClanahan. There are no big laughs but some touching moments. There is a funny sub plot with Kirk trying to sponsor a pee wee hockey team because he thinks it would make him more attractive to women.

Newhart Season 1 Episode 12 - Splarshy Review.
jacobstaggs3 May 2023
I plan on reviewing all of the episodes of the first and second seasons of Newhart plus an additional four episodes in the series that I feel are worth reviewing.
This episode is called The Way We Thought We Were.
Even in these first two seasons before the show became completely unwatchable with the exception of 4 episodes after season 2, a lot of these episodes do not really give one much to talk about. That is the case with this episode.
Bob Newhart and Tom Poston just give okay performances this time around. The George Utley character is not well suited for romantic storylines. Steven Kampmann does great as Kirk Devane but is given very little to do I give this episode a 3/10 because it is watchable but the horrendous script, almost non-existent laughs , and the poor performances of Mary Frann and Jennifer Holmes make this episode very much not recommended.
Next up is the thirteenth episode entitled The Visitors.
Stay tuned!
