The Bob Newhart Show: Come Live with Me

The Bob Newhart Show: Come Live with Me
CBS
October 28, 1972
Sitcom
DVD
B-

Jerry Mayer's first of ten BNS stories has Carol debating whether or not to move in with her boyfriend, who's separated.  She describes herself as caught between two generations, and I think she's 28 at this point, making her too old to be a Baby Boomer but influenced by that generation and the one born in the '30s.  A couple lines make clear she's not a virgin, but this is still a big step.  She asks Bob's advice and then Emily's, and Emily describes her as a close friend.

This episode introduces Bob's patient Mr. Emil Peterson (John Fiedler).  And Jack Bernardi plays a Waiter again.
