Please tell me that whenever someone uses this phrase (or acronym, if we really want to be accurate here) that you IMMEDIATELY think of the evening ABC family friendly lineup so popular in the early 90s.
CAN I ALSO SHARE WITH YOU that Mr. Belvedere was maybe the best show ever and I think fondly of it from time to time. Some people, though, clearly share a similar, but more intense sentiment... case in point, THE WIKIPEDIA SITE for the show. Enjoy this selection:
"Each episode ended with Mr. Belvedere writing in his diary about the day in the Owens home.
A frequent gag on the show involved Heather's best friend Angela Shostakovich (Michele Matheson), often mispronouncing Mr. Belvedere's name (with such variations as "Mr. Bumpersticker" and "Mr. Bellpepper"). Another frequent gag involved Mr. Belvedere making fun of Wesley's best friend Miles Knobnoster (Casey Ellison), because of his orthodontic headgear. Yet another recurring gag featured George always trying to be initiated into the Happy Guys of Pittsburgh, a local men's club. Wesley's highly acrimonious relationship with the never-seen next door neighbors the Hufnagels, was another recurring plot element. Apparently, they meant to make all sorts of trouble between them and the Owenses, but usually, the Owenses won out.
In the two-part series finale, Mr. Belvedere married and moved to Africa."
He just RANDOMLY marries and moves to Africa. How satisfying for loyal viewers of the show. I guess it's not okay for British butlers to remain single and in the United States.
Also, Mr. Bumpersticker? Pure genius! I can't believe this show was ever cancelled! These recurring gags eventually got old? Unbelievable!!!
