I’d like a gin and tonic, a lemon squash, and a scotch and water, PLEASE!
RIGHT!
The actor choices seem to be the only ones who could actually do the role, though I find it hard to imagine an American production that could do due justice to the acerbic wit.
John Cleese would probably view the series, call up, and say, “I shall come over there and insert a large garden gnome into you. Good day.”
I thought the John Laroquette version was only a few years ago, not 1999.
I would like to see the version that BBC has made for a German TV channel. IIRC it takes place on Rügen and Manuel is Russian. For some reason they didn’t include the last episode.
I’m sorry, we’re all out of Waldorfs. 
Out of all the American series, the one with Harvey Korman and Betty White seems to be the one with the most promise, based on casting alone. I can see Harvey Korman pulling it off.
