Not to be confused with Newhart's eponymous 1961 variety show, "The Bob Newhart Show" finds the comic playing Bob Hartley, a Chicago psychologist living with wife Emily in a highrise. Bob is forced to deal with crazy patients, his wife and their friends.

Bob and Emily celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary with a dream flight into the fantasy of being married to different partners.

The Hartleys embark on a sea-going vacation to put work behind them. But Bob can't resist playing psychologist when he undertakes to counsel a married couple.

Emily Hartley discovers a new low in male chauvinism when Bob's father (Barnard Hughes) arranges a fishing trip to his cabin and assigns her woman's work while the men brave the great outdoors.

Bob attempts to help a group of ex-convicts with their search for honest employment.
