Newhart/Trivia

• Actor Allusion: There were several references to Bob Newhart's earlier sitcom throughout the show's run. Considering how it ended, it all makes sense now.
  • The episode "Good Neighbor Sam" guest stars Bill Daily as a new next-door neighbor. Daily had played Bob's neighbor Howard Borden on The Bob Newhart Show.
  • In "No Tigers at the Circus", Dick watches his favorite TV program. The theme song is heard, and it's the theme from The Bob Newhart Show.
  • In "I Married Dick", Dick and Joanna attend couples therapy with a psychologist. In the waiting room, they run into a patient (played by Jack Riley, aka Mr. Carlin from the earlier show) who Dick seems to vaguely recognize. When he mentions this to the psychologist, she says she's been working to undo the damage done to the patient by "some quack in Chicago".
  • In "Harris Ankles PIV for Web Spot", Dick and Michael discuss CBS' Monday-night lineup back in the 1970s. After Dick lists some of the shows (All in The Family, M*A*S*H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Carol Burnett Show), Michael asks about "that show with the shrink who stuttered". Dick corrects him by saying he "stammered".
• The Pete Best: Leslie and to a lesser degree, Kirk.
