When I was a kid watching The Bob Newhart Show, I wanted to live Bob Hartley's life.
Growing up in a small rural southern town, I wanted nothing more than the big city life of Bob Hartley, putting on his London Fog overcoat, leaving his high rise office, taking the train to his high rise apartment to be greeted by Suzanne Pleshette.
