The Bob Newhart Show: The Great Rent Strike

The Bob Newhart Show: The Great Rent Strike
CBS
October 23, 1976
Sitcom
DVD
B+

This, the first of three BNS scripts by David Lloyd, who's more known for The Mary Tyler Moore Show, is sharp and funny, from Carol "busting her S" to Bob finding a way to get new landlord Carlin to make repairs.  It's interesting that there's no sexual connotation whatsoever to Howard crawling into bed with the Hartleys, or even going to a hotel with Emily.  This is Pleshette's 100th episode.
