    "The most extraordinary remake was with Bea Arthur. I remember at a party I met these chaps from Viacom, who said they were working on a new Fawlty Towers. My ears pricked up at the sound of cash registers and said, "That's wonderful, are you going to change anything?" They said, "Well we have changed one thing, we've written Basil out". And that's absolutely true, they took Basil and Sybil's lines and gave them all to Bea Arthur." - -- John Cleese, 2009

      Have you checked out Snavely? This was tons better than that version of Fawlty Towers. Certain actors/actresses are always a little bit of that one type of character that they play best. Because Betty white and Harvey Korman were not allowed to be a little bit of the type of characters they play best the thing was a flop.

The writing is sharp, the comedy is high brow, the acting is exquisite. I love Bea, but this character does seem to be a transition between maude and dorothy. Maude's presence and wit, dorothy's sarcastic delivery and exasperation. All in all, a fantastic find!

    Bea Arthur was a force of nature. She was probably amongst a very small selection of American talent who could take droll British humour / material and Americanise it in a way that retained the essence of the source material while delivering it in a way that was as funny as it could be to an American audience.

      This is much better than the Betty White one. Bea Arthur is just funny whatever she does.

    Thankyou so much for uploading this, treasures like this, especially with Bea Arthur...shouldn't be lost.

  • @redeemedandreadytofly1423

    This show is a much better remake of Fawlty Than the one Harvey Korman and Betty White did. At least the writers in this one didn’t try to steal all the gags snd jokes from fawlty towers. Nothing will ever beat Fawlty Towers

    Tony Rosato (as Aldo) really was "from Toronto". He was on "SCTV" for a couple of seasons. His final role was on an episode of the children's show, "Odd Squad"

    I can't understand the criticism. Yes this show does not feature John Cleese and it wasn't written by John Cleese and Connie Both (not directly at least, they were directly adapted from the original scripts by John Cleese and Connie Booth) but it stars Bea Arthur, one of the most talented and funniest actresses of all time. the performances from all the cast were great and the humour transferred easily to the US.

    Thanks for the Upload !! I Completely forgot That Bea was in this series !! Xd Bea even says the same lines as Jhon Does in Faulty Towers !! Xd Maybe this is why Bea didn't do The Golden Place in 1992-93.? XD

    LMAO!! Same scathing abrasiveness as Maude, but more like Archie Bunker... I think Amanda is the daughter Archie and Maude would have had, lol.

    I never heard of this show back then , I only remember Watching Benji and The Fact of Life. The price is right. Pretty much those are the only tv shows I remember watching. I guess after all these years memories are paying its toll. 😥

      Maude was disgracefully liberal. I think Norman felt guilty for whatever reason. I never liked the show. Her husband was more like the wife. Maude was the man of the house and Carol, was Maudes ignorant protege. I'm a huge fan of Bea Arthur as a comedic actress but in Maude, all she was, was fat and overbearing.

  • @garymattscheck9066

    If a Bea Arthur type was married to Squidward in Spongebob all she'd have to do is pulverize him with one glare.

    If there's one thing I thought whilst watching Fawlty Towers, it was that it needs to be remade...

    It’s a shame as Bea Arthur was such a strong powerful lady that she would of had no trouble pulling this off. But you can only work with the tools you are given & sadly she wasn’t given the right tools. Plus the name Amanda was to soft for her character. But what a wonderful lady Bea Arthur was.

    • @desertrose1226
      @desertrose1226 Před 2 lety +1

      Yeah she’s no ‘Amanda’ that’s for sure! She Should have been simply called Beatrice!!
