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.

The Hartleys miss a Fourth of July Bicentennial party when they are trapped in a storage locker.

Bob's therapy group gets a surprise when a patient (Howard Hesseman) announces that he is gay.

While Bob and Emily are on vacation, Howard undergoes a crash psychological program that changes his entire personality.

The Hartley apartment becomes a hot-and-cold battleground when the good doctor declares psychological warfare on his landlord.
