** The Peeper (Tom Poston) would return as Handyman George Utley [[spoiler: in Bob's "Newhart" dream, although Bob doesn't seem to recognize him when he wakes up]]. (Interestingly, The Peeper once mentions he was born in Vermont, [[HilariousInHindsight where the later series was set]], and plans to return there following his divorce.)

** The show is famous for its depiction of Bob and Emily Hartley as television's first DINK family (before the term was even coined) at Bob Newhart's insistence, but this might not have remained the case had Suzanne Pleshette been able to have children of her own. She had been pregnant filming the pilot (she tragically miscarried) and made clear to the producers that if she got pregnant again, she would be having the baby, as she wanted to start to a family. The decision was made that they would cross that bridge when they came to it - but as it turned out, she never did get pregnant again, rendering the point moot.

** At the start of the series Howard is a navigator for an airline, a job that's since been replaced by computers. In fairness, that job was on its way out even in the 1970s and the show eventually addresses this, as Howard gets laid off and retrains to become a pilot.
