Dayum. I miss good TV. I loved Carol and all Bob’s patients. Great show. Can’t think of any of the answers, though. I loved this show as a kid–and now I want to watch it! Anyone know when it is on TVland (as I assume it is?). I don’t get TV Guide or a paper. Anyone play the “Bob” drinking game in college? Heh. Good times. And the classic TV moment was when Bob woke up next to Emily and the Vermont stuff was all a dream…loved that,too. ---

I think Howard cried each time he tried to sing “Oklahoma”.(?) ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > I think Howard cried each time he tried to sing “Oklahoma”.(?) Sorry, nope. Emily snag Oklahoma every time she cried. But Howard couldn’t join in. And sorry again, BNS doesn’t air at any time. At least not with the channels I get. ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > I loved Carol. So did I, when I was 14. With the burning passion of 1000 suns. Many years later, I saw Marcia Wallace on like _The $24,000 Pyramid_ or something. She’d about doubled in size and basically looked like a super-size drag queen. I wanted to bawl. > [@tdn](#): > > Bob Hartley and Dick Louden shared something. What was it? Extraordinarily poor taste in sweaters. ---

> [@Robot Arm](#): > > RA1: Bob had to go out on a building ledge and talk one of his patients out of jumping. What was he wearing at the time? Oh boy, another one of the few ones I know! Bob was wearing a Zorro costume and he drew a big “Z” on the wall afterwards. ---

> [@zamboniracer](#): > > Bob was wearing a Zorro costume… Yes. And it’s one of the very, very few times I’ve ever seen Bob Newhart do physical comedy. He has just talked his patient out of jumping, and the patient goes through the window back into the building. Bob walks along the ledge to the window while the crowd below cheers (sound effects, all we see is the ledge); then he puts his hands on his hips, sticks out his chest and strikes a pose, then turns, writes a ‘Z’ on the dirty window and goes inside. It was brilliant. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > I would also have accepted “moo-goo-goo-goo” Jerry: Did you hear that? Bob just said “moo-goo-goo-goo.” Howard: Maybe he’s ordering Chinese baby food. What was Bob’s mother always trying to get him to eat? ---
