Bob Newhart stars in Newhart season 3 episode 5, entitled "But Seriously, Beavers". The episode originally aired on October 28, 1984. In this episode, Bob Hartley, played by Newhart, finds himself dealing with a frustrating issue when he gets a flat tire on his car. When he takes it to the garage, he discovers that the damage was caused by beavers.
Bob is determined to find a way to deal with the beavers, who are causing damage to the town's infrastructure and causing problems for him personally. He becomes obsessed with the issue and spends all of his time researching ways to get rid of the beavers and protecting his car from further damage.
Meanwhile, Emily, Bob's wife, is dealing with her own problems. She is trying to kick her addiction to nicotine gum, which she has been using to help her quit smoking. She struggles with the withdrawals and cravings, but ultimately sticks to her plan to quit.
As Bob continues his quest to rid the town of the beavers, he enlists the help of Kirk, Larry, and Darryl, the town's eccentric trio. They come up with a plan to trap the beavers and relocate them to a new habitat, but things don't go quite as planned. The beavers prove to be more difficult to catch than they anticipated, and the situation becomes more and more absurd as they try to come up with new strategies to outsmart the beavers.
In the end, Bob realizes that he needs to let go of his obsession with the beavers and learn to accept them as a part of the town's ecosystem. He also realizes that he needs to let Emily deal with her own problems in her own way, and provides her with the support she needs to successfully quit smoking.
This episode showcases the humor and wit that Newhart was known for, as well as the talented ensemble cast that surrounded him. It also touches on themes of acceptance and the importance of supporting those we love through their struggles. "But Seriously, Beavers" is a standout episode in the series and a must-watch for Newhart fans.
