It’s “One Rotten Apple” - directed by Gary Nelson, written by Peter Meyerson & Treva Silverman (the latter eventually of Mary Tyler Moore), and broadcast as the series’ 14th on April 24, 1967. I’ve reprinted below what I wrote about the show a few months ago, followed, for the first time, by the episode itself. Welcome to a new Wildcard Wednesday! This weekend saw the 92nd birthday of show biz veteran Bob Newhart, the one-of-a-kind comic legend who starred in, among other things, two classics that we’ve previously featured on Sitcom Tuesdays - The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart! This year, in honor of this great man and his indelible work, I want to share something rarer: a forgotten credit from Newhart’s catalogue - his 1967 guest appearance on a short-lived Buck Henry comedy called Captain Nice, which I spotlighted in a recent “ potpourri” piece, singling out his segment as one of the best.
