[QUOTE="Chris2, post: 438303, member: 495"] I was poking around the Internet Archive, and they had a copy of “Beane’s of Boston”, the late 70s busted pilot for an American adaptation of “Are You Being Served?” It was produced by Garry Marshall and Paramount. They used the script for the German Week episode with very little changed, right down to the “Are you free?” lines, which seemed odd for an American show. They kept all the sexual innuendo, unusual for a Marshall-produced show at that time. TBH, it wasn’t half bad, although kind of pointless since it was so close to the original, just with American accents. Even the set was similar. Charlotte Rae was very good as Mrs. Slocombe. [/QUOTE]
