Bob Newhart shines in this hilarious installment that finds him bedridden just before he and Emily are supposed to take a vacation to Mexico. (Although, the script never attempts to explain how Emily has suddenly overcome her fear-of-flying, a subject addressed both earlier and later in the series. But that’s a moot point.) This episode is a laugh riot, with my favorite moments involving Bob and his sudden fascination with the day time soap operas. A wonderful script by MTM regular, Susan Silver, made even better by Newhart and his great supporting players.
