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.

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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
