The Bob Newhart Show: Life Is a Hamburger

The Bob Newhart Show: Life Is a Hamburger
CBS
November 16, 1974
Sitcom
DVD
B

In this Jerry Mayer story, Carol gets engaged to her boyfriend Don Fezler (formerly Don Livingston, still played by Richard Schaal).  No one thinks Don is right for Carol, but Jerry nonetheless throws them an engagement party.  Carol lingers afterwards and they at the least kiss passionately.  I'd give this episode a B+ if we actually saw their conversation the next day, or hers with Don afterwards, but considering Jerry is almost in tears and Don is never seen again, I suppose neither talk goes well.

Bobby Eilbacher, who played a nameless kid in the After School Special "The Eighteen Emergency," here is Ricky Rasmussen and would later be David.
