Bill Idelson - one-sided telephone calls on The Bob Newhart Show

I'm sure this has been pointed out somewhere already... but Bill Idelson wrote a great deal for the Bob Newhart show in the 1970's.

Newhart was the master (on tv/stand-up comedy) of doing the one-sided telephone call.  Idelson, having worked with Paul Rhymer, was the master of writing the one-sided telephone call for radio (I've found no one who writes those bits better.)

Idelson - heavily influenced by Rhymer - made Bob Newhart's one-sided telephone calls even better.
