BOB NEWHART SHOW, THE: GUARANTEED NOT TO SHRINK (TV)
Summary
One in this series of comedy programs about the personal and professional life of a Chicago psychologist. In this episode, Carol's decision to return to school drives Bob crazy when she reveals her major to be psychology. Carol's earnest devotion to her studies inspires her to doggedly analyze everyone's tiniest actions, from requesting a cup of coffee to wearing a red tie. Howard Borden also attempts to improve his career path by taking the qualification test for co-pilots, but the hapless navigator falters while studying for the written portion of the exam, especially when he realizes he has no idea what holds the plane up. Bob tries to put these career issues into perspective with one of his patented anecdotes, but the story he tells about an old college girlfriend backfires as he unintentionally insults Emily's appearance and profession. Commercials deleted.
