MR. BELVEDERE: SEASONS ONE & TWO: 2/10/2009 |
|---|
When Pittsburgh sports columnist George Owens and wife Marsha, a new law school student, find themselves with little time to spend with their three rambunctious kids, Marsha places an ad for some household help. Enter Mr. Belvedere, a quick-witted, refined, portly English housekeeper. He is hired by the Owens and quickly sets about whipping this family into shape with hilarious and heartwarming results. To the millions of television viewers worldwide who watched Mr. Belvedere, starring Christopher Hewett, Bob Uecker, Ilene Graff, Brice Beckham, Tracy Wells and Rob Stone, this affectionately remembered (and lampooned) family sitcom not only lives on as a cult favorite, but also often stood as the representation of ’80s American suburban family life.
Marking 24 years after Mr. Belvedere’s initial premiere on network television, the cast come together for the first time on DVD when Shout! Factory presents the long-awaited Twentieth Century Fox Television production’s Mr. Belvedere: Seasons One & Two DVD box set on March 17, 2009. Boasting as one of the top requested ’80s classic television shows to be released on DVD, this 5-DVD collector’s set contains all 29 episodes from the first two seasons and exclusive bonus content with all-new cast interviews with Bob Uecker (George Owens), Ilene Graff (Marsha), Brice Beckham (Wesley) and Rob Stone (Kevin); and a very special bonus feature Saturday Night Live: Mr. Belvedere Fan Club Sketch, starring Tom Hanks. Available for the first time, Mr. Belvedere Seasons One & Two, two complete seasons of this Primetime Emmy®-winning show in one very special deluxe box set, is priced to own at $44.99.
Mr. Belvedere premiered on ABC in 1985 and enjoyed a six-season run, but 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 and still make you laugh.
