    • Trivia
      Suzanne Pleshette was cast after she appeared by accident on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962) seated next to Bob Newhart. Producers thought she and Bob clicked together and asked her to read for the show.
    • Goofs
      There is a window behind the headboard of the Hartley's bed which shows a view of the city. However, if the orientation of the building's hallway is correct- apparently leading off to the left from the Hartley apartment front door, then the window should open onto it.
    • Quotes

      Howard Borden: I was, uh, just decorating my Christmas tree and I was wondering, is there a trick to stringing cranberry sauce?

    One of TV's Best
    Bob Newhart and MTM put together a winning formula when they debuted the Bob Newhart Show in the Fall of 72. This was Deadpan comedy on the part of Newhart at it's best. Psychologist, Dr. Bob Hartley, deals with the day to day problems of his zany and quite real patient's. Jack Riley's, Elliot Carlin being one of the most notable of the group, with his bizarre problems and abrasive attitude towards other group members, especially the wishy-washy Mr. Peterson.

    Bob's life outside his group was a bit less zany but just as interesting and funny. His relationship between his wife Emily, played by the sultry Susan Pleshette, was a very real relationship. Newhart and Pleshette complimented each other quite well.

    I think everyone loved his wise cracking secretary, Carol, and the bumbling antics of his neighbor, Howard Borden.
