Synopsis of The Bob Newhart Show: P-I-L-O-T
After attending a party where virtually all the guests are doting parents, Bob and Emily are even more determined to conceive. Finally, they discuss the possibility of adopting a child, and the benefits and drawbacks attending such a decision. The large supporting cast includes Louise Lasser as Mrs. Radford, William Redfield as Arthur Hoover, and M. Emmet Walsh as Jack Hoover. Written by David Davis and Lorenzo Music, "P-I-L-O-T" was originally written to be the pilot episode for the series. After several changes, including Newhart's insistence that he didn't want to be in a show "about kids," the series was held back from release until November 18, 1972, by which time the series was firmly entrenched in the ratings. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
