Apparently, there was an American version of the brilliant John Cleese sitcom Fawlty Towers called “Payne”. Starring John Larroquette, the show was faithfully “ported” to America, even down to the bumbling butler.
It only aired from March 1999 to April 1999, but I’ll have to see if my TiVo can find any reruns for me.
Heheh – Payne. :)
