The popular CBS series starred Newhart as Robert Hartley, a Chicago psychologist. The show divided most of its action between the character’s home life and work, with Suzanne Pleshette as Hartley’s supportive (though occasionally sarcastic) wife Emily, and Bill Daily as their friendly, but inept neighbor, airline navigator Howard Borden. At the medical complex where Hartley had his psychology practice, Marcia Wallace played his joke-loving receptionist, Carol Kester (later Kester-Bondurant), and Peter Bonerz appeared as Jerry Robinson, an orthodontist who shared the office suite.
