| Bob's participation in a medical foreign-exchange program obliges the Hartleys to play host to arrogant French psychologist Alan Durocher (Rene Auberjonois).

Richard Forojny rounds out the guest cast as Artie Berkowitz. Written by Douglas Arango and Phil Doran, "Shrinks Across the Sea" first aired on October 25, 1975. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi | |
