Suzanne. Not until Tom Poston died did I come to realize the two were actually married. Who knew!?
Bob in Chicago over Bob in Vermont; but both were very much enjoyed and seldom missed.

In 1984 I was at a McDonalds on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica. Tom Poston was in front of me. He was driving an old Lincoln Continental with suicide doors.
Then he lost his touch.
“Bob” - where he played a cartoonist - that show was a huge disappointment.
“George and Leo” - along with Judd Hirsch - that show was a bit better but it didn’t last.
They dated when young in the 1950’s but didn’t marry until 2001 after both were widowed. Tom Poston realized that he had made a mistake letting her get away the first time. They are now buried next to each other.
I preferred Bob the Librarian.
You could not possibly make The Bob Newhart Show today. All of the mental health advocacy groups would be screaming bloody murder.
Suzanne Pleshette was one of the best sitcom wives ever. The lead female character in those things needs to have an edge. Some bite. She certainly did.
