Trivia
Suzanne Pleshette happened to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson the same night as Bob Newhart. The producers thought there was chemistry between the two and asked Suzanne to read for the part of Emily.
Peter Bonerz learned to direct on this show and went on to become an award-winning director.
The Bay Federal Bank Building on Michigan Avenue served as the exterior shot of the office building in which Bob worked.
Bob Newhart couldn’t remember his lines so he had them written on cards and hidden around the set.
The apartment that Bob and Emily lived in was #523.
Bob’s office was suite #751.
Through the course of the show, it is mentioned five times that Bob was in the Korean War. Unfortunately, the writers couldn’t decide which branch of the service he served in. Three references had him in the Air Force and two references had him in the Army.
