The Bob Newhart Show: Jerry's Retirement

The Bob Newhart Show: Jerry's Retirement
CBS
November 27, 1976
Sitcom
DVD
B-

In this Hugh Wilson story, Emily's now 66-year-old and retired father (John Randolph in his last BNS appearance) visits at the same time that 38-year-old Jerry unexpectedly comes into a lot of money and also decides to retire.  There are some funny moments here, like Jerry's premature senility, but I feel like the episode doesn't either resolve itself or set up a cliff-hanger.  (If I recall correctly, Jerry's windfall would be a continuing story, at least for awhile.)
