The Nutt House

The Nutt House was the creation of executive producers Mel Brooks and Alan Spencer and was a broad farce about a once-prestigious New York City hotel which had of late fallen on hard times, in part, no doubt, due to its unfortunate name, the result of its being named for the proprietress, Edwina Nutt (Cloris Leachman). Other characters included manager Reginald Tarkington (Harvey Korman), and head of housekeeping Mrs. Frick (also portrayed by Leachman). Only 5 episodes were broadcast on the US network NBC with 6 remaining unaired. If, according to the BBC2 continuity, the show was premiering simultaniously in the UK and the US, than logic would dictate that the UK showing was also cancelled after 6 weeks.
