As I recall, that was the period where his appearances were limited to phone
calls (always his forte) while he was on the road for a book tour. All of those
segments, of course, could have been shot at the same time and edited in, like
Fred MacMurray's later seasons on "My Three Sons."

Hollywood, and whatever passed for popular culture at the time, tied sexiness
to over the top glamour. That led to weird binaries like Ginger/Mary Ann on
Gilligans Island and Jennifer/Bailey on WKRP. By any other standard Dawn Wells
and Jan Smithers were drop dead gorgeous. But we were told the characters
should be seen as plain.

As someone who was exactly the right age during the original run, I think the
general consensus was that Emily was right up there with Laura Petrie, Samantha
Stevens, and 99, and that Bob had married up. They were, at the time, one of
the few sitcom couples who seemed to have a real attraction to each other.

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.
