ABC wasn't willing to continue the show for a fourth season in the fall of 1987- in fact, they were ready to cancel it at the end of season three, but 20th Century-Fox announced that if the network WAS discarding it, they'd offer it in first-run syndication that fall. ABC panicked: even though "MR. BELVEDERE"'s ratings weren't so hot, it was popular enough for some of their affiliates...who might have pre-empted one of THEIR shows to carry that instead...the series WAS renewed, through 1990.
I always wondered how they got six seasons from a show that had basically died during it's fifth season.
It wasn't a bad show but it was sort of mediocre especially during the last couple of seasons when the writers seemed to be running out of ideas but that's what happens when a show has a guaranteed contract and the network can't cancel it.
If you haven't already, pick up Season 4 of Mr. Belvedere right now. If sales don't pick up than we will not be getting Seasons 5 & 6 on DVD. It is not available in stores but you can buy it online.
You can purchase directly from Shout's official website, or from Shout's official seller on Amazon.
If you don't have a credit card, purchase a Visa gift card at a store and use that to make your purchase.
@gummoboy333 It was a joke....but yeah......"Jersey Shore" is mindless, retarded monkey garbage and thats why I even mentioned it. Thats not to say that "Mr. Belvedere" was gold either, but next to some of the other crap they put on TV it's gold.
@Silentbob77772002 I know you were joking! But my hate for that show is why i sounded serious lol...and yes mr belvedere is CLASSIC television compared to that, in fact you cant even compare the two....

I've lived in Milwaukee my whole life, just as Uecker has, and a lot of people don't realize that in real life Bob is a big time asshole! He is a huge prick that never talks to fans, never signs autographs, and is more full of himself than athletes like Barry Bonds. So, if you ever visit Miller Park and try getting his attention or autograph, don't be suprised if he blows you off.
This series would be completely forgettable if it weren't for three important ingredients: Christopher Hewitt, Bob Uecker, and Leon Redbone's vocal of Angelo & Portnoy's delightful theme... VERY RARE promo, indeed! There's space at :16 for a live announcer to say,
Did Lynn Freakin' Belvedere just cut Quebec, Bob Uecker, and the viewing public at large down to proverbial size with that cutting quip? DO NEVER TEST LYNN BELVEDERE. YOU WILL NOT WIN.
Now this was when television was worth watching.

@flexwheelR
It's not physically possible for a man to sit on his testicles so no it's not true.
Getting kicked there however is a different story.

He DID say "To Pack". Although, it would be funny if he said something like, "Quebec", or something!
