Bob Uecker and 'Mr Belvedere' Cast 29 Years after the Sitcom Ended

“Mr. Belvedere” was a beloved American sitcom that aired for five years in the ‘80s and showcased the lives of the Owens and their posh butler, Lynn Belvedere.

Fans of the beloved ‘80s sitcom “Mr. Belvedere” were saddened after the show was canceled in 1990, six seasons after the series premiered.

The show came from Gwen Davenport’s novel “Belvedere” and appeared in three films, “Sitting Pretty,” “Mr. Belvedere Goes to College,” and “Mr. Belvedere Rings the Bell,” before becoming a sitcom.

Famous butler Belvedere was played by Christopher Hewett, who served the Owens family, headed by sportswriter George Owens (Bob Uecker) and his wife Marsha (Ilene Graff.)

ABOUT “MR. BELVEDERE”

Mr. Belvedere enters the picture when the couple, caught up in work, find difficulty in spending time and taking care of their unruly children.

Luckily, the English housekeeper is trained to withstand such chaos. Moreover, the brilliant Mr. Belvedere is an expert in the kitchen and in getting the family calm.
