In 1975, “Over the River and Through the Woods,” the craziest “Bob Newhart Show” episode of all time, begins sanely enough: Emily (Suzanne Pleshette) announces her intention to visit her family in Puget Sound over the Thanksgiving holiday; psychiatrist Bob begs off, saying he wants to be available to his neurotic patient, the endlessly depressed and depressing Mr. Carlin. But Carlin canʹt be happy unless heʹs making others miserable, so he invites himself over to watch football with Bob, Jerry (Bonerz), and ever-present neighbor Howard (Daily). Of course, there are certain customs that must be observed. “We take a slug of this every time the other team scores,” says Jerry, offering an enormous jug of grain alcohol to Bob. Soon things get loco; itʹs a high-scoring game. Smashed, starving, and facing a frozen turkey, the boys consider cooking the bird at 2,000 degrees for a half hour — but the oven only heats to 500. “Then weʹll use four ovens,” suggests Howard. Thatʹs when they decide to call out for Chinese food — to be precise, for Moo Goo Gai Pan (to be more precise, for Moo Goo Goo Goo Gai Pan). And lots of it. So much that it has to be delivered with a hand truck. Luckily for Bob, Emily arrives just in time to pick up the tab — and put on a pot of coffee.
