Ep 16. Of Mice and Men

Dr. Robert Hartley, a Chicago psychologist, is back for his fifth season in The Bob Newhart Show. In episode 16, titled "Of Mice and Men," Bob's wife Emily decides to take up painting, but her passion may get her into trouble when she suggests Bob's patients pose for her.

Bob is hesitant to let his patients get involved with Emily's newfound hobby, but Emily convinces him that it will help with their therapy. However, things quickly go awry when a patient accidentally releases two lab mice into the therapy room.

As Bob and Emily try to catch the mice, chaos ensues and they're forced to cancel Bob's appointments for the day. Meanwhile, one of Bob's patients, a man named Howard, becomes obsessed with getting back the mice, who he believes are his pets, and is determined to find them at any cost.

Howard's quest leads him to break into Bob's office in search of the mice, much to Bob's dismay. The situation becomes even more complicated when Howard accidentally locks himself in the office, forcing Bob to call the building's superintendent to help him out.

Through it all, Bob and Emily try to keep things light and humorously bicker with each other about the chaotic situation. Whether they're chasing mice or dealing with Howard's antics, the couple proves once again that they can handle anything together.

The Bob Newhart Show is known for its witty banter and lighthearted humor, and episode 16 of season 5 is no exception. Bob and Emily's chemistry is as strong as ever, and the addition of the lab mice and Howard's obsession adds a delightful touch of absurdity to the episode.

If you're looking for a fun, feel-good comedy with a classic 70s charm, The Bob Newhart Show season 5 episode 16 is sure to deliver.
