Amanda's is an American sitcom inspired by the 1970s British sitcom Fawlty Towers. The show aired on ABC from February 10, 1983, to May 26, 1983, on Thursday nights at 8:30 p.m. Bea Arthur starred as the main character, Amanda Cartwright, the owner of a seaside hotel called "Amanda's by the Sea." The hotel's staff included her son Marty, his spoiled wife Arlene, Earl the chef, and Aldo the bellhop. This was Bea Arthur's first return to series television since the end of Maude in 1978. Other stars appearing on Amanda's included Jerry Stiller, Leonard Stone, and Todd Susman. The show was filmed in front of a live studio audience at ABC Studios, 4151 Prospect Avenue in Hollywood, California. Amanda's was cancelled in May 1983 after a four-month run of ten episodes, with three more episodes remaining unaired by ABC. The A&E network later broadcast reruns of the show.
