The Bob Newhart Show: Mind Your Own Business

This Patchett and Tarses story has the Hartleys employing Jerry's business manager, Jeff Boggs (Ron Rifkin, who was Mel on Gidget).  Another very mid '70s story, with not only references to the economy but also the novelty of an answering machine.  (Which wouldn't be universal even among the middle class for at least another decade.  I grew up without one, although some friends had them.)

Delivery Man Lou Cutell would later play the character based on Mr. Petersen in Mr. Plager's play.
