The TV Zone

Too bad so few people get this channel. The nostalgia-centric AmericanLife TV Network (it is carried on the city’s Time Warner cable system) will run a seven-episode tribute tonight to Suzanne Pleshette, who died a week ago at age 70.

The tribute comes, of course, from “The Bob Newhart Show,” where for six seasons in the ’70s, Pleshette played the star’s (mostly) sensible wife with bite and style. (She also made one wonderful surprise appearance on his subsequent sitcom, “Newhart.” Remember that finale?)

In Jan. 28’s AmericanLife “Bob Newhart” marathon:
9 p.m.: Emily fights her fear of flying.
9:30: Vocation day at teacher Emily’s school.
10: Bob and Emily work on secretary Carol’s love life.
10:30: Emily dislikes Monday night football.
11: Emily wants to vacation in Europe.
11:30: Emily fills in as Bob’s receptionist.
12 midnight: Bob finds out Emily’s IQ is higher.

The first four seasons of “The Bob Newhart Show” are out on DVD, too.
