I have watched all 13 episodes on sub-standard DVD and thoroughly enjoyed them. I thought they were very funny. Bea Arthur brilliant as always. I recognised two familiar faces that also appeared in Golden Girls i.e. Zach and Arlene also Bea Arthur`s son Matt appeared as a diner with a girlfriend in a non-speaking part in one episode. I look forward to watching them all again on TH-cam. Thank you for uploading.
Interesting note. After this Arthur was on the "Golden Girls" for years. When that ended the OTHER three ladies were in a series "The Golden Palace"... where they owned a hotel.
They wanted to retool the ever popular British comedy, Fawlty Towers. For the American Audience, didn't work. A few episodes are exact copies of Fawlty. Just different characters, the spoiled fish for example.
I have just completed all 13 episodes of Amanda's by the Sea. This will be the 50th time in my life that I've seen each and every single episode of any TV Series, whether it's short-lived like Amanda's or long-running.
When people work in a Hotel they need to treat customers nice and friendly and answer the phone nicely by asking the customer what can they help you with
he was on the second episode of the golden girls he was the guy who was dating dorthy and hit on blanch almost destroying thier Friendship blanch even kicking dorthey out
No but he was dating Blanch and she was worried that he had kids and didn't want to be a mother again. They were gonna get married but Blanch backed out.
Cute, but I find it weird that Amanda would marry her brother-in-law who is her son's uncle it's a little strange. I mean I know her first husband is dead but but that's still her son's uncle weird.
I thought the same thing. But I guess it wasn't so strange back then, and some cultures even expect that to be the order of things if the circumstances occur (not in cases of divorce). But logically, at least her son will still be blood to the step-father, with the same DNA as his father.
The Golden Girls actresses should not do shows about hotels they don’t work and get cancelled lol! Even Marla Gibbs could t get a hotel sitcom to work (not her fault though).
Besides the dumb prenuptual agreement thing, the episode was fun. I do agree with Amanda though. God should always be involved. He brings us ❤ together
@@bransrubar you jest surely? Fawlty towers is widely regarded as one of the best comedies of all time. This thing is just an embarrassment. They "took something perfect and painted it red"
The characters of Amanda and Aldo were the only ones funny. The show needed a huge overhaul to survive, had there been a season two. However, we wouldn’t have gotten BA as Dorothy on the GG’s, if the show ran longer.
TOTALLY agree. The supporting cast, ALL of 'em, are cringe-worthy at best, especially Aldo. Bea was her usual magnificent self but she was left out there to carry the show alone and it was just too heavy a burden, even for her, to save this show. I feel the same way about Polly Holliday's "Alice" spinoff, "Flo", SHE was great but the supporting cast sucked all the air from the show.
I totally disagree. The supporting cast was o.k. I guess this show was running against good competition shows. I don't know. Funny thing is, this show came in german television, but not Maude. Therefore again the Golden Girls were a gigantic hit in Germany.
@@lvelez1999 Thenonly ones worth keeping were Amanda and Aldo. There should have been a major overhaul in cast. Oh well, we wouldn’t have gotten Dorothy Zbornak if this show had continued.
we enjoyed every episode never should have been taken off the air.
This was an amazing blast from the past. I never heard of this show but I'm so glad to have seen these.

I enjoyed this series too. I think it was a very good show !

Love this show
I never heard of this show until now

that does bring the whole thing strangely full circle, lol :)
They make some pair. I love it
Only 10 episodes aired between Feb.-May 1983. 13 episodes were filmed and the last 3 never aired. This was the13th and very last episode.
Arthur was, as usual, wonderful. I'm wondering if ABC was looking at "Newhart's" success and thought this would work for them.
They wanted to retool the ever popular British comedy, Fawlty Towers. For the American Audience, didn't work. A few episodes are exact copies of Fawlty. Just different characters, the spoiled fish for example.
I've also seen all 184 episodes of Newhart as well as all 13 episodes of Amanda's, all this 2022 calendar year.
It seems like the role of the young Reverend was written with John Ritter in mind; either specifically for him or as an homage.

never knew she had a show between
Bea Arthur is my favorite
Mine too
Love her ❤️
It's too bad this show didn't take off. At least they had a bit of a story arc for the 13 eppies, it makes it feel better.
I hear ya; this episode is a decent finale and a bittersweet conclusion to a sitcom that was unfortunately cut short.
That little man was on Alice last night, played Larry an ex con
That's the show they could put her on
this was before golden girls and after maude

Susan Ruttan - L.A Law, Bay Cove.
he was on the second episode of the golden girls he was the guy who was dating dorthy and hit on blanch almost destroying thier Friendship blanch even kicking dorthey out
He was not in this episode.
No but he was dating Blanch and she was worried that he had kids and didn't want to be a mother again. They were gonna get married but Blanch backed out.
It's ironic amanda pushes on a prenuptial agreement, but dorothy called off a rewedding with stan due to it.

That's some wishy-washy mumbo-jumbo on a mythical entity that may or may not exist.
Why would anyone try to remake Fawlty towers??? Why??? Why would they?!?!
I know. I cannot understand it either
John Kenneth Wiseman Money
Because this is good? Both versions are good in their own right

@@fishyc150 nope. I genuinely like this. In some ways I like it more...just my opinion.

This show was destined not to make it. The supporting cast destroyed the show. Writing wasn't that good, either.

I think it's a great show and the cast are a lot of fun
Is this supposed to be a remake of Faulty Towers? It's truly awful.
