This story by Jerry Mayer, directed by Bonerz, has Bob briefly taking a job at an insurance company, so there's a whole other set of people Bob interacts with, although we still see him with his friends at work and home.  (Emily is visiting her parents for their 37th wedding anniversary, which narrows her age down to I'm guessing 33 and 36.)

Mary Robin Redd, who's Susan Wick, was Janie Downs on That Girl and Sister Theresa on M*A*S*H.  Jerry Fogel, who plays Paul Hollander and would play Paul Billingham, was also on That Girl, four times.  This time Edward Winter's terse delivery is used well for the character of Wes Greenfield.
