It finally came out on DVD. I have been waiting for a really long time. A few years ago I was browsing Amazon.com and noticed that the release of this DVD was in the works. The other day I saw that the Shout Factory was able to release it March 17, 2009. It's been 19 years since it's been on the air and I am very excited to be able to watch it when ever I want to.
Mr. Belvedere premiered on ABC in 1985 and enjoyed a six-season run, but it has endured ever since as a symbol of its time. The story of one family trying to have it all--with some unlikely help--the show wasn't afraid to deal with real issues (of the time) and still make us laugh. Affectionately remembered and lampooned, Mr. Belvedere lives on as a cult favorite and icon of the '80s suburbia.
It takes place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with George Owens (Bob Uecker) and his wife Marsha (Ilene Graff), a new law student, who find themselves with little time to spend with their three rambunctions kids, Marsha places an ad for some household help. Mr. Belvedere (Christopher Hewett), a quick witted. refined, portly English housekeeper. Despite George's objections, Mr. Belvedere is hired and quickley sets about whipping the Owens family into shape.
I remember watching Mr. Belvedere as a kid, along with the Golden Girls, Roseanne, ALF, Family Matters, and Full House.
