The Bob Newhart Show: Emily in for Carol

The Bob Newhart Show: Emily in for Carol
CBS
October 13, 1973
Sitcom
DVD
B-

Jerry Mayer's story is about how Emily substitutes as receptionist when Carol takes a three-week trip to Rome.  I know travel was cheaper then, but damn!  That's a heck of a vacation on her salary.  Tippy Tupperman is mentioned but not seen.

Nora Marlowe has her middle of three BNS roles, as Mrs. Manning.  Howard Platt's unpleasant plastic surgeon character, Dr. Phil Newman, makes his debut.  Teri Garr for the first time plays airheaded secretary Miss Brennan.  And thirty-two-year-old Rhoda Gemignani makes her first of three appearances as Joan Rossi; she'd be more prominent as Mrs. Rossini on Who's the Boss?
