The Bob Newhart Show: Backlash

The Bob Newhart Show: Backlash
CBS
September 29, 1973
Sitcom
DVD
B-

Susan Silver's second of two BNS stories has Bob and Emily planning another trip to Mexico, this time trying for conception.  But Bob's patient Mr. Trevesco (future Hill Street Blues star Michael Conrad, who'd been Mr. Johnson on That Girl) gives him too hard a pat on the back and throws it out.  Although there are some funny moments, including with a very slow-moving soap opera, it's hard to fully enjoy an episode where Bob is mostly in pain, and when Emily develops a cold, we have to suffer with them both.
