Bob Newhart
stars as Dick Loudon, a successful New York writer of how-to books,
who, with his more reluctant wife, Joanna (Mary Frann), uproots
their lives to buy and run the venerable Stratford Inn. The place
comes with some colorful history (in the pilot, it is revealed that
the inn once served as a house of ill repute and in another episode,
Bob learns that a woman hung as a witch is buried in the basement).
It also comes with George Utley (Tom Poston), the handyman, who may
have more than one screw loose. |
