Bob Newhart is a great straight man, and this is what really made this shows. The Bob Newhart show had a great cast as well and the problems of his patients made it all work. Here we have Bob failing to mind his own business and bringing the other players into the arena. First, he tells Michael not to let Stephanie push him around. Then their breakup leads to tension at the TV studio (one bit involving a stuffed anteater is hilarious). The scene where Dick tells Joanna not to bother him, calling her "woman," is priceless when you know the characters. There is also a ridiculous darts tournament where Dick has shot his mouth off about his expertise at this game, only to show he has feet of clay. He keeps taking off clothes, claiming they are restricting his movements.

Michael and Stephanie's first break up
Jimmy_the_Gent428 March 2018
Dick tells Michael not to let Stephanie walk all over him, so Michael breaks up with her.
A funny episode with Dick in a TV station dart tournament. He claims he was a champ in college but he does terrible. Michael is doing better and Stephanie comes over and tells him he has to leave, which starts his decision to break up. There is a good scene in the TV control room where J.J. and staff pay more attention to Michael and Stephanie's argument than to Dick's show.
