No, they didn't remove him from the set, just the script. Bob had showed up on the first shoot day and Sherwood said, "Bob, you're not going to be in this episode I spoke to your agent. I think you might be a disturbance especially to the kids. I think you should go." Bob said, "I am not going anywhere. Whether or not I am in this episode, I am interested to see how it turns out."
Bob was on the set but out of camera range at all times for "The Hair Brained Scheme." (He stood offside in a corner and sulked for 4 days while the episode was being shot.) Paramount called Sherwood and said, should we remove him from the set? Sherwood said no, because he felt it would be too hard for the kids to take that. So that is how they shot that episode.
