Featured review
Failed American version of Fawlty Towers
It's unfair to judge this episode strictly against the British sitcom. Objectively, it is still poor but doesn't deserve a 4 IMDb rating. I'm very surprised there isn't a law against "stealing" a script! It's so much like the Fawlty Towers Hotel Inspectors episode! John Cleese simply cannot be matched! He's one of the greatest comedic actors of our time! Also Betty White doesn't have that "snotty", "stuffy" air of Prunella Scales. How many times have we as viewers seen failed American attempts to duplicate a foreign TV show or Movie? Too many. One more thing, Cleese's height and physical humor is without rival!
