AB 05-09-2008, 05:20 PM On the "Andy's English Valet" episode of the Andy Griffith Show, Malcolm mentions what part of England he's from. vtunie 05-09-2008, 06:32 PM Three's Company, "The Charming Stranger" (season 8): an English neighbour appears.

AB 05-10-2008, 10:36 AM On some episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies they go stay in a castle in England. wkomorow 05-10-2008, 06:41 PM Obviously, Mr. Belvedere - he was deported back to England. And I disagree, Sabatian Cabot on Family Affairs was the ultimate British Gentleman's Gentleman. He often met up with ex-pat nannies and GGs. Married with Children went to England. Maude's housekeeper, Mrs. Nottingham, was British and she often talked about England - in fact her room was decorated with Union Jacks. And I could be wrong but I thought that Raven's mother left the family for training or a job in England.

She sometimes mentioned where she was from in England. Also, Newkirk on "HOGANS HEROES", Archies roommate on "ALL IN THE FAMILY" once, when he was in the hospital, Tracy Rattigan on "THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW" episode "RACY TRACY RATTIGAN"...there's a million of them, too numerous to mention. Oh, and of course the episodes of "THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES" where they traveled to England. waichingliu81 05-11-2008, 07:19 AM i don't know if the actor (Paul Benedict) is british or not. but on the show, mr. bently talked about england all the time. i went on imdb and to the jeffersons home page, clicked on his name and in his profile, it said that he was born in new mexico on sep. 17 in 1938. astonishingly enough, he is still alive to this day. in an interview, he said he was constantly mistaken as an Englishman because of his work on "The Jeffersons" (1975) as Englishman Harry Bentley. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0070801/ AB 05-11-2008, 08:43 AM Also on The Nanny there were remarks about Maxwell's relatives in England.
