Marblehead Manor is an American sitcom that originally aired in first-run syndication from September 19, 1987, to May 28, 1988.
It starred Paxton Whitehead, Phil Morris, Linda Thorson, Bob Fraser and Michael Richards.
The series concerned the goings on at the estate of the wealthy, eccentric Randolf Stonehill, heir to a corn oil fortune, and involved long-suffering butler and head of the household staff Albert, who'd known Randolf when they were children; groundskeeper Rick who had eyes for maid Lupe; chauffeur Jerry; handyman Dwayne; and Randolf's materialistic, yet good-hearted wife Hillary.
This show was part of NBC's "Prime Time Begins at 7:30" campaign, in which the network's owned-and-operated stations would run first-run sitcoms in the 7:30–8:00 pm time slot to counter program competing stations' game shows, sitcom reruns and other offerings.
The experiment turned out to be a largely unsuccessful one, as only one of the series was a hit while three of the remaining four were canceled after their only season.
