Suzanne Pleshette

Suzanne Pleshette plays Emily Hartley on The Bob Newhart Show, the wife who keeps a Chicago psychologist's marriage dryly off-kilter. MTM quiet comedy: group-therapy Greek chorus, phone-bit timing, no catchphrase panic. Pleshette makes Emily the hour's other brain — not a straight woman parked beside the stammer, a partner who treats the lunatics as a household the buttoned-up lead cannot manage alone.

CBS did not need a logo. The Bob Newhart Show needed Emily Hartley. Suzanne Pleshette is the reason that sentence has a body — s01e01, Fly the Unfriendly Skies opens MTM's quiet engine. Newhart already listens; Pleshette's Emily keeps. That 1972–1978 stamp is the folder, not a dare to finish every week. Pleshette is already doing the job as Emily Hartley. Keep Suzanne on-screen at s02e01. Last TV Show is the psychologist hour eating its own medium. Buttoned-up lead surrounded. Emily Hartley is not a guest week; 1972–1978 is only the stamp.

The turn in this pack is s02e01. Last TV Show is the psychologist hour eating its own medium. Buttoned-up lead surrounded. Hold s03e24 if you like a second coordinate — The Ceiling Hits Bob is physical farce inside a talk sitcom. MTM craft letting. The Bob Newhart Show still asks her to be Emily Hartley. Enough spine: s01e01 for the door, s02e01 for the turn. The rest is appetite.

The form perfected a quiet man surrounded by noise. On TV Flash she is 1970s craft: the Emily who photographs as dry and plays as the reason the apartment still has a pulse besides the doorbell.
