Mr.

Belvedere
Mr. Belvedere is an American sitcom that originally aired on ABC
from March 15, 1985, to July 8, 1990. The series is based on the Mr. Belvedere
Lynn Aloysius Belvedere character created by Gwen Davenport
for her 1947 novel Belvedere, which was later adapted into the
1948 film Sitting Pretty.[1] The sitcom stars Christopher Hewett in
the title role, who takes a job as a butler with an American family
headed by George Owens, played by Bob Uecker.

The series was groundbreaking in its handling of the HIV crisis.

Production

Development

The character of Lynn Belvedere was originally created by Gwen Leys Davenport in her 1947 novel,
Belvedere. The following year, the title character was portrayed by Clifton Webb in the film Sitting Pretty,
which told the story of an arrogant genius who answers an employment ad for a babysitter for three bratty
kids. He accepts such employment because he is secretly writing a novel about a community filled with
gossips and busybodies. Webb's performance in the film earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best
Actor, and he reprised the role in two more movies, Mr. Belvedere Goes to College (1949) and Mr. Belvedere
Rings the Bell (1951).[1]

As early as the 1950s, attempts were made to adapt the character to television. Three pilots for a proposed
series based on the Belvedere character were made during the 1950s and 1960s; a 1956 attempt starring
Reginald Gardiner,[2] a 1959 effort with Hans Conried,[2] and a 1965 version starring Victor Buono in the title
role.[2] All efforts, however, were unsuccessful until 1985, when ABC picked up Mr. Belvedere to series to
serve as a mid-season replacement, with British actor Christopher Hewett playing Lynn Belvedere.[3]

Pre-production

The series' co-creators and executive producers, Frank Dungan and Jeff Stein, pitched the series as "a very
elegant, very British sophisticate hired to restore order to a chaotic household in a Pittsburgh suburb." The
show eventually developed with an upper-middle-class family in suburban Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.
According to Dungan and Stein, Pittsburgh was chosen as the show's setting because "It was either Pittsburgh
or Paris and Paris doesn't have the Penguins... we wanted someplace with seasons and sporting activity... A
city kinda going through a resurgence... with character and traditions that is moving into the '80s, a blue collar
community that is moving into the up and coming, yet with the traditional spirit of the country. From
everything we've read, Pittsburgh is moving into high tech."

Weeks after choosing Pittsburgh, the city was named by Rand-McNally as the most livable American city,
"national publicity" that the producers promised to use. Both Dungan (who hailed from Philadelphia) and
Stein (who is from Cleveland) admitted to never having been to Pittsburgh prior to developing the series,
though Dungan's sister attended Carnegie Mellon University. "I remember for four years she talked about how
Pittsburgh was changing, and about how different it was from Philadelphia." Stein admitted that early on, "we
thought about setting the show in Cleveland, but that's too jokey" and that "we're not doing Pittsburgh jokes.
We like Pittsburgh. We like the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's a classy ballclub. And we like Willie Stargell." No
scenes from the pilot nor the first season's six episodes were shot in Pennsylvania, however the producers
promised if they "get picked up for fall [1985–86] we'll probably come to Pittsburgh."[4]

The producers educated themselves on Pittsburgh locales with a promotional calendar provided by the
Pittsburgh Media Group (PMG), a consortium of public officials and Western Pennsylvania media. Dungan
and Stein used it for story ideas during season one after the PMG pitched several studio groups in Los Angeles
in January 1985. "People were impressed... the calendar has Pittsburgh scenes for each month. The Bridge of
Sighs is February. The PPG Building is March. Three Rivers Stadium gets three months."[4]

Theme song and opening sequence

The show's theme song, "According to Our New Arrival," was performed by ragtime singer Leon Redbone. It
was written by Judy Hart-Angelo and Gary Portnoy,[6] who also co-wrote the theme songs to Cheers and
Punky Brewster. In the original pilot, an unidentified studio vocalist sang the theme.

The song was composed in 1984 for a rejected television pilot called Help (which was later resurrected in
1987 as Marblehead Manor, produced by Paramount Television and aired in first-run syndication). With a
minor lyrical rewrite (changing the word "arrivals" to "arrival"), it quickly became the theme song to Mr.
Belvedere.[7] In 2007, Portnoy released a never-before-heard full-length version of the theme on his CD,
Destiny.

The show used four different closing themes during its original run:

1. The Pilot and early ABC promos of the show used a rock version of the main theme, with a
guitar lead.
2. Seasons 1 and 2 and one Season 3 episode featured an instrumental version of the theme
song.
3. Season 3 featured a Dixieland rendition of the ending theme.
4. Seasons 4-6 employed a jazzier rendition of the ending theme.

Opening credits
First version (Pilot)

This sequence consisted of a purple family portrait book, with pictures of the cast (including a picture of
George at his Construction job), set to the original version of theme song. This version was only used on the
original unaired version of the pilot; the broadcast version used the second variation (see below). It surfaced on
Antenna TV in 2015.

Second version (Season one)

Similar to the original unaired Pilot, but now with a beige family portrait book, some of the cast pictures
changed (most notably, George at his Construction job), and Leon Redbone singing the theme. The Redbone
version would be used in all subsequent variations of the opening. On the Shout! Factory DVDs of Seasons
One & Two, this was only seen on the broadcast version of the Pilot.

Third version (Season two)

The opening was overhauled completely beginning with this season. It begins with a stock photo of a British
palace, and then zooms in to Mr. Belvedere himself. It was then followed by Belvedere as different people
(including a Man on Safari), followed by photos and clips from season one episodes, as well as general photos
of the cast from said season. On the Shout! Factory DVDs of Seasons One & Two, this version was kept as is
on all the season two episodes, but plastered the season one opening on episodes 2–7. In addition, the show
adopted its familiar logo.

Fourth version (Seasons three through six)

The opening was overhauled completely once more in season three. Now, it began with Mr. Belvedere writing
in his journal, followed by the camera zooming in to the fictional World Focus magazine, with Belvedere on
the front cover for the title card. It was then followed by edited images of Belevedere with famous people from
around the world. The photos were updated to reflect how the cast looked in season three, and most of the
season one clips were now replaced with scenes from season two episodes. In Season four, the opening was
updated to feature new positions of Tracy Wells on the couch. In Season six, it was updated once more to
feature clips from season five episodes, and new positions of Brice Beckham on the couch. A short 30 second
version was also created, as well. In early Syndication reruns, the short season four/five opening was used on
all the episodes, with the exception of season six; early reruns of season six used the short open from said
season.

Ratings and cancellation

Mr. Belvedere did not place within Nielsen's Top 30 shows at any time during its six-season run; however it
did have a relatively solid ratings base, and often won its time slot.

Its first season (1985) was exempt from the Nielsen ratings as it aired too few episodes before the end of April
to be counted.[8] In its second season (1985–86), the series ranked at #45 with a 14.8 rating.[9]

During season three (1986–87), the show fell to 51st place with a 13.7 rating.[10] At the end of the 1986–87
season, ABC decided to cancel the show after three seasons,[11] but negative feedback from fans of the series
led the network to reverse its decision and order a fourth season that debuted in October 1987.[12] In season
four (1987–88), the show fell to 64th place and an 11.5 rating for the year.[13] For its fifth season (1988–89),
the show rose to a 12.2 rating, placing it at #47 for the season.[14]
For its sixth and final season (1989–90), Mr. Belvedere left its longtime Friday night slot (which began its
evolution into the long-running TGIF block that season) and was moved to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on
Saturday nights. The move led Mr. Belvedere to suffer a steep ratings decline, falling to a 6.3 rating. The final
episode to air before it was put on hiatus on December 30, 1989 ranked #70 out of 83 shows.[15][16] ABC
canceled the series for good in February 1990.[17] The two-part finale, which aired on July 1 and July 8, 1990,
ranked #59 and #37, respectively, out of the 86 shows that aired during those weeks.[18][19]

Syndication
In addition to its existing prime time airings, ABC aired reruns of the first three seasons of Mr. Belvedere on
the network's daily daytime schedule from September 7, 1987 to January 15, 1988, filling the gap between the
cancellation of the game show Bargain Hunters and the premiere of the talk show Home.[20]

On September 11, 1989, (about the time the show entered its final season), and continuing in sporadically until
1997, it was seen in local syndication on select Fox affiliates. Along with the addition of seasons four through
six, ten previously unaired episodes (two from season five and eight from season six), were also added to the
syndication package. The syndication package initially consisted of all 95 half-hour episodes produced up until
the end of season five in 1989; the following year, season six (the remaining 22 half-hour episodes) was finally
included in the package.

In the early 2000s, reruns of the series aired on Foxnet (a master feed of the Fox network for markets without a
local affiliate, which aired syndicated programs outside of network programming),[21] and on CTS in Canada
from 2002 to 2004.

On December 17, 2009, American Life Network aired both of the series' Christmas-themed episodes, as part
of the network's month-long block of holiday-centered episodes of series from 20th Century Fox Television
(season four's "Christmas Story" and season six's "A Happy Guy's Christmas"). This was the first time in over
a decade that Mr. Belvedere was syndicated in U.S.[21] On or around October 3, 2011, reruns began airing on
FamilyNet, marking the first time that the series had been regularly syndicated in over 15 years. Around
November 2012, Dish Network began broadcasting FamilyNet's successor channel, Rural TV, making the
show viewable throughout the U.S. on weeknights (with commercial bumpers intact briefly).[21] On January
5, 2015, Antenna TV began airing reruns of the series, initially airing seven days a week. These have been
completely unedited, and include alternate pilot credits without Leon Redbone singing. It aired until April 1,
2018.

Home media
Shout! Factory (under license from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment) has released the first four seasons
of Mr. Belvedere on DVD in Region 1, featuring the original unedited prints of the episodes.[22][23][24]
Currently, Shout! Factory does not have the DVD rights to seasons five and six, and has been involved in
protracted negotiations to acquire those remaining episodes (46 in total) for future releases.[25]

On September 8, 2015, Shout! re-released season 4 on DVD as a full retail release.[26]

In popular culture
In the Futurama episode "A Leela of Her Own", the head of Bob Uecker, during a call of a game, says "I've
never seen anything this bizarre, and I've seen Mr. Belvedere naked."

Mr. Belvedere plays a big part in 2006's Family Guy Video Game!, where Peter, after being smashed on the
head by the PTV satellite dish, wakes up in the hospital and sees a spotlight identical to the Bat-Signal, only in
the shape of Mr. Belvedere. Believing that Belvedere has kidnapped his family and for some reason wants him
dead, Peter rampages across town in an effort to destroy him and save his family. But later in the game, Lois
confronts Peter, telling him that there is no Mr. Belvedere, that his actor had already died, and that he had
destroyed half of Quahog looking for Belvedere. Later at the Drunken Clam, Peter is confronted by Belvedere
again, who rips off a disguise revealing none other than Ernie the Giant Chicken. After defeating Ernie and
rejoining his family, Peter sees the Belvedere spotlight again, which turns out to be Adam West making
shadow puppets.

Mr. Belvedere is also mentioned in the TV Series itself as characters make references to the
series.

In the Married... with Children episode "He Ain't Much, But He's Mine," it is suggested by Al Bundy that he
and Peggy have sex while Mr. Belvedere aired.

The show's theme song, "According To Our New Arrival" has been used as the theme song for professional
wrestler, Jervis Cottonbelly. It has also been prominently featured in episodes of four popular US television
shows:

On April 9, 2006, the "Deep Throats" episode of the Fox animated series Family Guy
concludes with Stewie Griffin singing its theme as his family simultaneously discusses drug
use, specifically marijuana.
On January 3, 2007, the “Brace Yourself” episode of the long running CBS comedy The King of
Queens plays the main theme during a scene in which side character Spence babysits unruly
children.
On November 5, 2015, Seth Rogen performed the theme on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
On November 16, 2015, the "Everything Stays" episode of the Adventure Time miniseries
Stakes, Marceline is seen singing the show's theme song in one of her flashbacks.
In the movie American Wedding, Bear uses Mr. Belvedere's name as a persona to cover up the
bachelor party at Jim's house.
