(I just watched the Mariette Hartley ep a couple of days ago - what a scream! Loved how Bob was the one who got his suit ruined. :lol:)

F=Fit, Fat and 41 - one of the episodes. Second season episode. In reality, Bob would have been around 44 when they filmed that, though.

From things Bill has said on the radio show, as well as things in Bob's book, I got the definite impression that the little slapstick/physical humor that made it into TBNS was not Bob's idea.

(P.S. Speaking of the silk pajamas listed above, I love how they were imported from Japan and inscribed to "Robert Hart-rey." I was just :rofl:!!)

U=ugly, something one of the prisoners called another in the episode "Ex Con Job". (This is the 3rd time I've "got" the "u" in this game. This is a tough letter!)

V = Va va voom, something Emily had and was proud of!

W=Wallace, as in Marcia Wallace, who portrayed Carol Kester Bondurant. She is just as zany in person ... loved meeting her two years ago.

X-Ray machine at Howard's place of business

Y=Yummy - some of Emily's food ideas sounded really YUMMY. (But it was probably "prop food".)

Zodiac - Carol was into horoscopes & the zodiac signs

Actually, folks, we were on "H". I think somebody missed a page someplace.

So I'll skip F and G (which were done, above), and take "H".

H=house - Emily wanted to buy a house in one episode, but Bob didn't. He didn't even own an outdoor trash can or a lawnmower!
