Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Emily leaves town to spend Thanksgiving with her parents, leaving Bob, his friends, and his patients to fend for themselves. What results is a truly lost weekend -- booze and all. Yes, this is the episode with the celebrated "moo-goo-gai-pan" scene, cited by many TV historians as one of the greatest moments in sitcom history. Featured in the cast are Janet Meshad as Elaine and Dave Himes as the delivery boy. Written by Bruce Kane, "Over the River and Through the Woods" originally aired on November 22, 1975.
