On this day May 28, 1988, the final episode of Marblehead Manor aired, closing out a short lived sitcom that ran for just one season and 24 episodes in syndication. Set in a lavish estate, the show followed the quirky staff and eccentric residents of a wealthy household, blending slapstick humor with over the top situations.
Starring Paxton Whitehead, Bob Fraser, and Linda Thorson, the series aimed for light comedy and farcical misunderstandings, but struggled to gain a strong following in a crowded market of late 80s sitcoms. It was part of NBC's attempt to launch a block of syndicated comedies known as "Prime Time Begins at 7:30."
Fun fact: Marblehead Manor was one of several sitcoms launched in the same syndication package, but it was the first to be canceled, ending after just one season.
