Mr. Carlin vs. Annoyingly Perfect Family - The Bob Newhart Show - 1977

[@christopherphillips6164]

The Sverdlow Family: "We love everybody." Dr. Hartley: "Here's your first big test."

Eliot Carlin was one of the best side characters in any sitcom!

"Mr. Carlin" was a director who stepped in front of the camera for this show. He was also a writer. The fellow was very talented. What a funny sketch, Liver lips!

[@Fordham1969]

I think you're thinking of someone else as far as being a director. Jack Riley (the actor playing Mr. Carlin) worked as an actor on many different things over the years and also wrote a bit as you mentioned, but I found no directing credits for him in his bio.

[@McRocket]

Hats off to Bob Newhart to have the lack of ego to allow himself to star in two, long-running shows. Yet (seemingly) be content to remain in the background and let other actors get the big laughs. I imagine many stars of comedy series would not be able to do that. R.I.P. Bob Newhart ☮

[@laudanum669]

Jerry Seinfeld was also like that to a certain extent on "Seinfeld". Often being the set up guy for the other characters antics.

[@NormAppleton]

Not really he got plenty of punchlines. I think he just loved the ensemble cast like Carol Burnett.

[@McRocket]

@@NormAppleton Plenty of punchlines? Yes. But the big gags were generally reserved for the co-stars/guest stars. But you obviously disagree with that as well. So... bye now. ☮

[@johnclone999]

The Jack Benny Show model. Surround yourself with great characters and act as the lynchpin. Call the show after your own name and no matter who gets the laughs the audience will always say: Did you hear what they said on the Jack Benny, Bob Newhart, or Seinfeld Show last night.

[@laudanum669]

When I heard of Bob's passing away the other day I felt real sorrow and a true loss. "The Bob Newhart Show" is my 2nd favorite Sitcom of all time. What i really liked is that it was a show about adults much like my #1 sitcom "Seinfeld". There were just a few episodes that I didn't care for and they all had to do with Howards son. RIP Mr. Newhart say hello to your good friend Don Rickles for me, I hope he made it;)

[@davidbaise5137]

I wouldn’t exactly call the Seinfeld characters “adults”.

[@roccosophie6498]

Mr. Carland was probably my favorite character on the show. He was honest, sincere, and he hated everyone!😄

The mom looks like Lauren Tewes who played the social director on the Love Boat, so I checked it out (and I see it is noted elsewhere in the comments). This episode is titled "A Day in the Life" and that family is actually a real family-the Kenneally family.

[@GrantTarredus]

I remember watching this the night it first aired and laughing my ass off. I’m only guessing now, but was Riley responsible for cracking up the cast and causing retakes more than anyone else? I have to suppose he was until I’m corrected. All of Bob’s other regular patients were wonderful, but Mr. Carlson... what a piece of work! Also, who played the old man who only spoke about how his wealthy son was disowning and mistreating him? He did an incredible job of never once even starting to look like he was about to laugh. Thanks!

“A Day in the Life,” originally aired 29 October 1977. Believe it or not, according to IMDB: “The Swerdlow family is played by a real family; the Kenneally's - Bud, Joan, Robert and Pam (who were Mr. and Mrs. Swerdlow, and Tom and Becky, respectively).”

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Robert was hot ... he's prolly in his 70s now (with liver lips)

[@MrCraigblaze]

@@Marcel_Audubon I assume Robert was the dad ?? XD

[@drlee2]

Seriously? I thought the actress playing the Mom was too young looking to have kids that age, and I just assumed the actors playing the kids were older than the ages they were playing. Not sure if it was a trend, but I remember several cases in older movies and TV shows where actresses playing the mother were only a few years older than the ones playing their children.

[@billbright1755]

Bob should have had Carlin sit in on all his sessions. His constructive criticism would be a welcome addition to any recommendations he might suggest.
