Howard was supposed to be an airline navigator? I don't think I'd want that goofball in the cockpit of any plane that I'm on. I found him to be more annoying as the series went on.

Maybe Tom Poston should have been a regular character instead of just appearing in a few episodes.

Howard should have been the patient for Bob and Mr. Carlin should have been the neighbor

Put the goofy secretary who called Bob Dr. Ryan in more episodes.

Howard lands in Baghdad and decides to stay there, searching for a genie. Bob and Emily adopt his kid and they take him to Jerry for braces. Ellen hears Howard is in Baghdad now and hops a plane to go after him. Mr. Carlin takes Howard's apt. and decides to buy the building. After he does that he get into an argument with Bob (in one of Bob's phone bits) and almost evicts the Hartleys.
