Full Episode Video -- Classic Bob Newhart Show With a "Just Before Fonz" Henry Winkler
Of course, we saw Henry previously this week in Ron Howard's FunnyOrDie.com Obama clip.
Here is Winkler in an episode of The Bob Newhart Show from 1974 called Clink Shrink, where Bob decides to give some counseling time pro bono to parolees including Henry as Miles Lascoe, armed robber.
Funny armed robber. Well aren't they all?
This is also the first episode of the first Newhart series directed by Peter Bonerz who played Orthodontist Dr. Jerry Robinson on the series. Bonerz has enjoyed a long career directing comedy on TV, and hopefully soon there will be more of it to direct, for him and his colleagues.
This is season two, episode 19, and it ran 25 minutes and seven seconds. These days you're lucky if you get 21 minutes in a half hour slot.
Suzanne Pleshette was hot. Guys loved her.
For you Carol fans, this episode is post-Bondurant.
And after the clip, the whole episode. If you click the link above the screen you can watch at Hulu in full screen.
