Jerry has to tell Bob (under unusual circumstances) that he's in love with his wife. You would think this would put a damper on an otherwise light and good-natured sitcom, and I admit it felt a little awkward for a while. Yet, the issue is handled with tact and delicacy--and a considerable amount of humor. So we end up with an entertaining, and even thought-provoking episode. Teri Garr (from Young Frankenstein) makes a cameo, and is delightful as always. That's always something I admired about Bob Newhart comedy, even in his standup. It's never in your face, but always handled with subtlety and class.

Teri Garr wasn't even in the triangle part of this story.

Seems like a really bad plot point, that Jerry would see his infatuation's husband is covering for his psychologist and then confess that what he really wants is his best friend's wife. Once again, the best friend and the replacement psychologist and the threatened husband of the apparently desirable lady is just one guy guy, Dr. Bob Hartley.

Hard to fathom that after Jerry confesses that he is in love with Emily, there seems to be no damage to the Bob Jerry Emily friendship. Seems odd. Bob and Jerry just rent office space on the same Chicago high rise. If they didn't have this strange shared secretary out by the elevators (Carol deserved a less public office) they may have never met.

Even with the goofy main plot line, this show is worth noting for the appearance of Teri Garr. She's in her early twenties with 60s hair and looks great. Here she has a few lines and moves the plot along. Like most men my age, I liked Teri Garr. She seemed so fresh and natural. I think the world would be better off if Teri Garr would have become a bigger star.
