The Bob Newhart Show: Here's Looking at You, Kid

I couldn't get a photo from this episode, but here's
one from the scene with everyone at Carol's apartment

CBS

Sitcom
DVD
B+

Gordon and Lynne Farr wrote this funny and believable episode about Howard proposing to Ellen and then them both having doubts.  As Ellen notes towards the end, Howard is ironing and listening to their song "As Time Goes By," as he was when she came over to tell him she'd ended her engagement to John Tobin.  Ellen is 34 at this point, which Emily jokes is much older than herself.  Oh, and Bob and Emily seem to be celebrating their anniversary (the sixth, iron) at a different time of year than usual.

Trumpet Player Verne Rowe previously was Bob's patient Moose Washburn, while Don Nagel was also the waiter on the last episode of the previous season.  Bonerz directed.  And this is the 400th program I've reviewed for the '70s and we're barely halfway through chronologically.
