The Nutt House

I think this ran for 6 or 7 episodes, and I laughed through all of them. As good as Cloris Leachman is as the head of housekeeping she is even better as old Mrs. Nutt. The character is kind of similar to Tim Conway's old man routine from Carol Burnett, but that routine never made me laugh, the Cloris version cracked me up. I vaguely remember her jumping her support hose. Whenever I see Gregory Itzen as President Logan on 24 I remember him as the Dennis the player bell hop, and smile. Harvey Korman is good as well. I'd love to see the 3 or 4 episodes that did not air in the U.S. (the U.K. aired all of them), and I wish this was available on DVD.

until I looked at the description here. I saw this when it was shown in the UK (I think) and I thought it was really funny(but then I was only about 11), I recorded it, but then recorded over it, damn. Wish I could see it again to see if it was really funny, but they only showed it once I think, like Maniac Mansion(cept I recorded that).

"The Nutt House" with Cloris Leachman (Phyllis from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show") and Harvey Korman (from "The Carol Burnett Show") is truly an underrated gem. It was broadcast on ABC for about one month in 1989. If you blinked, you missed it. This show was full of funny and witty dialogue, zany sight gags and screwball antics. I think its humor was way ahead of its time, but unfortunately it was never given a chance to find an audience.

A DVD release would be wonderful. Or maybe a mini-marathon on TV Land. This might help to get the word out on this great, hilarious Mel Brooks series!

This hilarious comedy series, which lasted only 6 episodes, is great fun. Mel Brooks' best work since HIGH ANXIETY back in 1977. Slapstick, puns and sight-gags galore, this makes the best use of its good cast (Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, Mark Blankfield, Brian MacNamara) and has great art direction (its lavish Nutt hotel). This is really hard to find, but is worth it for comedy and Mel Brooks fans.

Hey Everyone, I found it from a video warehouse in Pennsylvania. http://www.sell.com/241NPN Has all the episodes that didn't air in the US. Hopefully it'll be in good shape when it comes in. Me and my little sister used to rematch the same 6 episodes over and over again on VHS recordings when we were kids, hopefully the quality will be okay. Okay so the minimum is 10 lines of text.... well okay so like i said I sure hope the quality is good, not just good, but really really really great. I mean super duper. its been over 20 plus years since I've seen one of these episodes, so I don't even know if it'll be as funny as I thought it was when I was a kid. I remember laughing my butt off at old Police Files shows, so hopefully it'll be as funny as those were. these are the types of shows I wish that Hulu would pick up. It would be good I think to show the kids that not all 80's programming was grossly overly formulaic.
