The Bob Newhart Show: The Modernization of EmilyCBS
January 12, 1974

B+
Another very good story from Charlotte Brown, with Emily, after ten years of teaching and five years of being married, trying to act and feel younger. The reactions of the others are spot on. Ironically, in a decade of regrettable fashion (and we are deep into the plaid slacks era now), Emily's two "tacky" outfits look adorable. It is definitely the mid-'70s, with jokes about the high cost of meat, much like the frequent similar jokes on The Brady Bunch that season.
J.J. Barry, who's the Man in Market, would show up in some of my other shows, most notably as Janet's boss on Three's Company. And, yes, that's 30-year-old Sharon Gless as Howard's date. This is, by the way, the 600th program I've reviewed.
