The TV sitcom Mr. Belvedere has at long last been released on DVD featuring the first two seasons of the series.
The series ran in the U.S. from 1985 to 1990.
It starred the late Christopher Hewett as Mr. Belvedere, a well-travelled Englishman who responds to a housekeeping ad for the Owens family in a suburb of Pittsburgh.
Much to the dismay of the father George and to the delight of the three children he awards himself the job.
It was all about growing up and getting on with each other.
Belvedere’s role expanded way beyond being the butler while all the father, (a sports columnist), seemed to do was whine all the time
As each episode ended Belvedere would write the lessons that had been learned that day in his diary.
The series never excelled in the ratings yet it gathered enough followers for it to last six seasons all up.
The episodes are uncut on the DVDs with a special feature being a 15 minute “Making Of” featuring new interviews with four of the surviving cast members.
“MR. BELVEDERE SEASONS 1 & 2” is now released from Shout Factory.
