BOB NEWHART SHOW, THE - A Pound of Flesh

Air Date/Released Saturday, January 25, 1975
Station/Studio CBS / MTM Enterprises Inc.
Host/Star Bob Newhart

Chicago psychologist Bob Hartley, and his wife Emily, deal with day to day life and the eccentrics that pass through their personal and professional lives.

Jerry loses his shirt in the stock market, and hits Bob up for a $1500 loan to buy a motorcycle. Bob turns him down and possibly loses a friendship, but Jerry then goes to Howard. Before long, Jerry and Howard's sharing of the bike sours that relationship too. A scene in the Hartley living room has Bob and Emily watching television...
Emily: Are you bored Bob?
Bob: No Emily, you know I like to watch sports on television.
Emily: Even CELEBRITY SOCCER?
Bob: Yeah, I never knew The Three Stooges were that coordinated. Nice kick Moe!


Ironically, this episode aired one day after Larry Fine's death.
