Synopsis: Bob’s daughter Trisha (Cynthia Stevenson) starts working as a colorist and takes exception to the way females are depicted in the Mad Dog comics.
Featured Feline: Otto returns for another one of his classic moments in the show’s opening segment. Bob (Bob Newhart) is sitting on the couch in front of the television. He calls out, “The game’s on! They’re about to kick off!” After a moment he adds, “You’d better get in here. You’re going to miss it!” Otto then runs down the stairs and jumps over the back of the couch to join Bob.
As Bob pets Otto he sighs, “God, I wish I had a son.”
Final Mewsings: Cats hate missing the opening kickoff.
