This right here! Last episode of Bob Newhart!

"The Flying Felix," Season 4, Episode 16, "The Odd Couple." Original air date, 18 Jan 1974.

As someone once responsible for designing/testing emergency ground escape from aircraft, this episode dealing with Felix's fear of flying still has me in stitches everytime I see it. If I see a very large person getting on airliner, even 50 years later the first thing in my mind is,"Oscar, look at the size of that woman." This episode would never be made today.

Three guest actresses in this episode, Maggie Peterson (flight attendant), Sondra Currie (red-head seated next to Felix), and Teri Garr (flight insurance agent---not in clip above.) Maggie was best known for playing Charlene Darling on "Andy Griffin." Sondra appeared in lots of episodic TV, including as a semi-regular on "Columbo" for a few years. Saw her once at LAX, absolutely stunning woman.

Jason Alexander was given his monologue about 30 minutes before filming by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. He said I got this. The look on Seinfeld's face was a true reaction to how well Alexander nailed the scence.

On The Odd Couple, Oscar's nephew comes over to visit. Unfortunately he has no idea how to entertain the child. And neither does Felix.
" Hi little boy, how would you like to run the vacuum cleaner ?"

 

[K9-1]

Impossible for me to do...lol!

Taxi...Season 3, Episode 4 "Elaine's Strange Triangle." Original air date 10 Dec 1980.

No set-up necessary, self explanatory. Again, this could not be made today.

WKRP and the “I thought turkeys could fly” episode.

I never saw the last episode. Funny and clever. Bob was one of my favorites. Comedians need to get back to good material and stop relying on vulgarities to be funny.

WKRP and the “I thought turkeys could fly” episode.

Two episides I was shocked didn't make the article's top 20 were the "WKRP" turkey drop and the final episode of "MASH." The "Taxi" episode when Jim takes his driver's test is also hilarious.
