- AnecdotesThe set of the sitcom (the lavish Nutt Hotel) was actually the set built for the movie Trouble en double (1988). The producers of the movie couldn't get the rights to film inside the actual Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, so had it recreated on sound stages, and built "The Nutt House" around it to try and recoup construction costs. Unfortunately, it proved an expensive flop.

Here's an important note. When you see the name Mel Brooks on a film or TV series, you can know that it's going to be a comedy, that it's going to be filled with unexpected, wild and maybe borderline style humor and it will be populated by the most eccentric and unusual characters you never would have imagined yourself, because you're not Mel Brooks.
That's the basics of what you need to know about "The Nutt House," the story of a New York City hotel that has more than its share of problems.
The Nutt House, the name of the hotel, was in financial difficulties and we were informed that was specifically because of its moniker. But that couldn't be changed as it was so named for its owner, Edwina Nutt, played by Cloris Leachman in the pilot episode, and in a dual role, Ms. Leachman also played head of housekeeping, a heavily accented Hungarian sounding Ms. Frick.
The role of Ms. Nutt was taken over by Jeanette Nolan in ensuing episodes. The person in charge was the vain, self-important manager, Reginald Tarkington, played by Harvey Korman. Ms. Frick has an unrequited crush on Tarkington, a point made clear in some way during their every interaction, well past the point of sexual harassment!
Ms. Nutt's handsome and ne'er do well son was Charles Nutt III and portrayed by Brian McNamara, and Charles was developing a relationship with Sally, the heavily put upon but always well intentioned concierge, played by Molly Hagan.
This show was filmed without a studio audience and with a laugh track, so there are times that the scenes are free of any audience reaction and others where you hear big laughs. In a way, that fits the oddity of the program, which was typical Mel Brooks: filled with sight gags, puns and schlocky physical humor.
New York plays a part because even the worst hotel in town has guests and this one is clearly one of the worst, especially with an elevator operator who is apparently legally blind and never stops the car correctly, leaving people to have to climb up or slide down to enter or exit their floor, just as one example of the humor.
Mel Brooks is Mel Brooks! You got the same style of humor from him in everything he did, from his movies like "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein" to his sitcoms like "Get Smart" and "When Things Were Rotten" (his ORIGINAL take on the Robin Hood legend). But, by 1989, it seems like many in the audience had become too sophisticated for that form of lowbrow humor than they were in the 1960s and 70s when Mr. Brooks had his biggest successes. It's Mel! If you like him, you LOVE him and if he's not your cup of tea, you're watching something else.
I don't know if anything could have improved "The Nutt House" except maybe sending it in a time machine to 1974.
