YouTube Spotlight: Suzanne Pleshette Is Maggie Briggs

Each podcast week, we take a look at one video from our video playlist here in its own post. It's Bob Newhart Show week here, and as a reminder, you can click here for all the videos for episode 1, but right here let's focus on this one:

It's not just something CBS said when promoting the show; it's the actual title of the show: Suzanne Pleshette is Maggie Briggs! So I presume it's not pronounced Suzanne Pleshette IS Maggie Briggs, but Suzanne Pleshette is MAGGIE BRIGGS! Briggs is a New York Examiner journalist demoted to the human interest beat.

I suppose someone thought it was important to let everyone know who the star of the series was. Make no mistake, viewers; It's not Shera Danese!

The series aired Sundays on CBS for only 6 weeks, following 60 Minutes and going up against Knight Rider and Hardcastle and McCormick. There is a good summary of the series, from someone who actually watched some of it, right here.
