Café Americain is an American television sitcom starring Valerie Bertinelli that aired on NBC from September 18, 1993, to February 8, 1994, with two leftover episodes shown on May 28, 1994.
Bertinelli played a young American woman, Holly Aldridge, who finds a job working as a waitress in a small café in Paris.
The cast consisted of an assortment of eccentric characters from around the world who regularly visited the café, interacting in many hilarious circumstances.
Madame Ybarra, a former dictator's wife, was a thinly veiled spoof of Imelda Marcos.
Marcel's on and off relationship with Holly set the stage for comedic interference by several guest star suitors.
