Honey, I Dreamed That I Was Running An Inn In Vermont And You Were.....Honey?

Carlene Watkins better get started on her life’s to-do list, because Bob Newhart’s TV wives do not lead long lives. Suzanne Pleshette, who started the sitcom tradition of sexy wives marrying schlubby guys, has died at the age of 70. That smoky voice came at a cost, as she battled lung cancer for the last 10 years. Pleshette is best remembered as Emily Hartley, wife to a Chicago psychologist whose patients never actually got better on “The Bob Newhart Show,” and in the greatest show finale ever on “Newhart.” She also got pecked to death by Alfred Hitchcock’s Birds. She won an Emmy nomination as “Leona Helmsley: The Queen of Mean” in a TV-movie. Later sitcom ventures included the short-lived and awkwardly titled “Suzanne Pleshette is Maggie Briggs,” a sitcom doomed by Alison LaPlaca, “Good Morning, Miami” as Mark Fuerstein’s horny grandmother, “Will & Grace” as Megan Mullally’s estranged con-woman mother and “8 Simple Rules” as Katey Sagal’s mother.
5 Pooligans expected the Newhart failure and take 4 points each – James Dinan takes first (briefly) as the first with two hits, Michelle’s Lights, Camera, Casket; Dawn’s Six Feet Too High, Joe Wright’s Drop Dead Gorgeous, and Monty’s Dead? No, Acting tie for 7th.
