So, I just finished watching the entire run of the Bob Newhart Show - the 1970's were before my time but I'm curious about one thing - how come the show doesn't seem to acknowledge that Suzanne PLeshette was gorgeous? Did everyone in the 1970's just feel she was not unattractive but some sort of run of the mill attractive? I mean, there were a couple eps where she was jealous about Bob's old college girlfriends who were apparently super attractive (one was shown but others were not), I'm thinking - in that era, was Pleshette considered "average" or so she was more relatable to the avg viewer? - also, is there a backstory to Newhart only making cameos appearances in a handful of eps in season 5 and 6, was he just bored?? Curious what you think? Thanks.
