The Bob Newhart Show: A Day in the Life

My favorite running joke in the episode
The Bob Newhart Show: A Day in the Life
CBS
October 29, 1977
Sitcom
DVD
B-

This is the only BNS episode Madeline Di Maggio and Kathy Donnell wrote, though they would do a Three's Company the next year.  The Peeper (whom we don't actually see or hear) calls up Bob and wants to meet up in New Orleans for a week.  So Bob has to scramble to reschedule everything.  There's a nice little twist in the end with Emily on the phone.

Richard Stahl plays Bob's drunk barber Mel.  The Kenneally family play the Swerdlows.  Jerry is absent again.
