The Bob Newhart Show (TV Series) Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time (1975) User Reviews

Not the best episode

After the previous episode, which in my opinion was one of the funniest of the whole series, this was somewhat of a let-down. I found the format and the ragtime music annoying and the story line just okay. If the regular cast weren't such excellent comedic actors, this episode would have fallen flat. They weren't given much to work with, but managed to make me laugh out loud once or twice. (Usually, I'm laughing throughout most of the show.) I don't really remember much from the original airings - just that I always loved Bob Newhart and every show he did - so I'm hoping this was just a fluke. I am wondering, though, what happened to Bob's sister and Carol's husband.
