The Bob Newhart Show: His Busiest SeasonCBS
December 23, 1972
Sitcom
DVD
C+
This episode never quite gets going but it's not bad. The "his" in the title is presumably Santa rather than Bob, although that does look like an overpopulated group session. (Couldn't they have at least found cushions or folding chairs for the people sitting on the floor?) Probably the first sitcom examination of seasonal depression, but not exactly a cure for it. And we never find out what Bob and Emily got each other.
King Moody was the Fireman earlier and is Ken Willett here. Harvey J. Goldenberg, who plays the very Woody-Allen-like Barry Gorman, would be on M*A*S*H twice. Twenty-six-year-old Renee Lippin debuts as Michelle Nardo.
