Premise

The popular CBS series starred Newhart as Robert Hartley, a Chicago psychologist. The show divided most of its action between the character's home life and work, with Suzanne Pleshette as Hartley's supportive (though occasionally sarcastic) wife Emily, and Bill Daily as their friendly, but inept neighbor, airline navigator Howard Borden. At the medical complex where Hartley had his psychology practice, Marcia Wallace played his joke-loving receptionist, Carol Kester-Bondurant, and Peter Bonerz appeared as Jerry Robinson, an orthodontist who shared the office suite. Two of Hartley's more memorable regular patients were the exceptionally mean-spirited Elliot Carlin (Jack Riley) and the milquetoast ex-Marine Emil Peterson (John Fiedler). Most of the situations involved Newhart's character playing straight man to his wife, colleagues, friends and patients.

Trivia

• Many running gags permeated The Bob Newhart Show. One such gag involved showing Bob Newhart in one-sided telephone conversations, which resembled his stand-up comedy routines from the 1960s. Another running gag involved characters saying "Hi, Bob" frequently. According to The Internet Movie Database, actors said "Hi, Bob" 256 times during the run of the series.^[1]. This inspired a drinking game of the same name where participants watched the show and chugged their drinks whenever that phrase was uttered on the show.
• Elliot Carlin placed 49th in TV Guide's List of the 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time.
• In 2004, TV Land commemorated the show with a statue of Newhart at Navy Pier. The statue was originally placed in front of 430 Michigan Avenue, the building shown as the site of Dr. Hartley's office, but was moved.
• The opening credits of the third season were changed slightly throughout the season to reflect the continuing progress on the construction of Water Tower Place.
• In the show's final episode, the Hartleys announce plans to move from Chicago to rural Oregon, where Bob has accepted a teaching position at a small college.
