Who the hell is Mr. Belvedere? Now, if Misses Kettle wants to visit, she's welcome. Even some Cousin Grey Goose.

Wouldn't Belevedere be more suited for Logo?

"Wouldn't Belevedere be more suited for Logo?".

LOL. Are you saying Mr Belvedere is gay? I thought he got married on the show or at least he was going to. There is an episode called, "Mr Belvedere's Wedding" (to a woman):

"Louise and I have decided to marry." -Mr. Belvedere

Mr. Belvedere did have the dumbest gay episode ever. The daughter, What's-Her-Name, was dating some guy, and he never wanted to kiss her. She asked if he was gay, and he kind of shrugged and said, "Uh, yeah, maybe I am." Later, Mr. Belvedere talked to him and said maybe he was just too young to understand his sexuality. I can't believe I remembered that.

But as for the gay connection -- he did play Roger DeBris, after all.

From his bio:

"Confirmed bachelor who never married or sired offspring."

"He moved to New York in 1954 and made his Broadway premiere in 1956 with the original cast of "My Fair Lady"."

"Confirmed bachelor."

That SCREAMS homo - always has.

...and if you're screaming bachelor...yup, you're gay!

I loved Bob Ueker on this stupid show.

[Calvin]

Whatever happened to Bob Ueker?

In fact, what happened to anyone from that show? Looking at their IMDB credits, it's like they all dropped off the face of the earth around 1994. Except Wesley.

I was wondering what happened to Ilene Graff, who is a great singer...Grease, I Love My Wife...and I happened to see who her husband is. He's the spittin' image of Bruce Vilanche!

5M20 - HEATHER'S MONK
Heather gets involved with Danny, an aspiring priest. He asked if he could have sex with her before he goes off forever into seclusion and celibacy. After much thinking, Heather agrees but the two change their minds when their conscience gets the better of them, with the help of some subtle sabotage by Mr. Belvedere.

5V10 - HOMELESS
Heather brings home Tom a homeless guy to live in the attic because she felt she wanted to help him. Angela adopts a homeless way of life and George is suddenly afraid of Marsha's advances when a friend of his died while having sex.

And the final episode:

Wesley:
You know I'm losing my best friend.
Mr. Belvedere:
Wesley, I've known heads of state and many celebrities.
But none of them have given me finer memories than you.
I shall savor our moments together, even the embarrassing and painful ones.
But you count for most of them.
Though you are an Owens,
I shall always think of you as a son.

Well! Tata.

Wesley:
He's gone.

Ilene is Randy's sister, no?

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:23pm

No, Todd Graff... tony nominee for Baby. Director of CAMP.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:24pm

Oops.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:28pm

Maybe cousins? Who knows.

Those Graff kids have been around since the early 70s.

I thought Ueker was cute on this show...was I blind?

I was kind of throwing this show in the same bin as the little girl who was a robot...but, thanks to Jimmysf, I realize they tried to tackle some issues! I also am reminded how much time I watched tv in the 80s as I think I saw all of those eps!

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:28pm

I think they are cousins.

[Calvin]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:30pm

This show, the robot girl, Charles in Charge and the one where the girl was half-alien and her dad was a light in a cube voiced by Burt Reynolds...all those used to be on in the mornings when I was left home along during summer vacation.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:32pm

Well, Calvin, the mystery is solved.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:34pm

Cal...that is like exposing you to plutonium!

No later Facts of Life? You know, with Beverly Ann?

[Fiction Writer]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:34pm

Was it really a mystery?

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:37pm

And that feisty little Mackenzie Astin?

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 6/19/06 at 12:41pm

And George Clooney...when he wore acid wash outfits.
