The Bob Newhart Show: Grand Delusion

I want to like this Lloyd Garver story where Bob and Emily go out to dinner to celebrate their tenth anniversary (a year or two early, but who's counting?) and end up fantasizing about what their lives would be like if they'd never married.  After all, it has a relatively early role for 27-year-old Morgan Fairchild, as Linda/Bianca.  But I don't think it's that funny, e.g. Jerry as a subservient servant in both fantasies, and I feel bad for Howard being cheated on as Emily's fantasy husband.  Still, it is cool to see Bob in a navigator's uniform and Emily in some very attractive outfits.
