Love or Hate Mr. Belvedere (the character)
I grew up during the 80's, and remember hearing of this show, but I never got to watch it. I have just started catching this show on METv. I love most 80's sitcom's, but for some reason this one rubs me the wrong way.
I feel that the Mr. Belvedere character is annoying. He is supposed to be the caring, supportive "voice of reason", but to me, he comes across as pompous, know it all, smug and even flat out rude sometimes. The rest of the cast is okay, but as the whole show revolves around Mr. Belvedere, I just can't watch it. I know if I had a butler/houseman like Belvedere, I would kick him out before the first day was over.
I know it is just a tv show, but I feel if the role of Belvedere was cast differently, it would have been so much better. Just my 2 cents. What do you think?
