CBS

Sitcom
DVD

While this Sy Rosen story has its moments, including the running joke about Bob loving salami, I kept being taken out of it by wondering, "Why doesn't Bob file for an extension?  Shouldn't he be more impressed that Emily is willing to fly to San Francisco?  How did a letter get from SF to Chicago that quickly, especially when postmarked at midnight?  Why didn't their anniversary being on April 15th ever come up before?" and other questions.  Bonerz directed.
