Benson coming to TV LAND

by Adam Finley, posted Jan 27th 2006 1:36PM

bensonOkay, so I wasn't as on top of this news as some people, but I was pleased to find out that Benson, one of my favorite shows to watch with my family growing up, is coming to TV LAND. Benson, as if it needs an introduction, was a spinoff of the popular series Soap and featured Robert Guillaume as a man hired to help out a widowed governor and his young daughter. Like his role on Soap, Benson stood as the only voice of reason among a throng of morons. If TV LAND keeps this up I may just hook my brainstem directly to the TV and live out the rest of my days in blissful nostalgia. Or at least until I get bored.

Props to the under-rated Rene Aberjoinosouiajouis for a 3-decade long career of excellent characters on 3 excellent tv shows: Benson, Star Trek DS9, Boston Legal.

The only actor who can say that is also from Star Trek and Boston Legal...but he certainly isn't under-rated.

Like Benson's servant, the Irish maids could be
subtlely insubordinate. In (Ken Burn's) The Irish, a mistress with a white glove tells her Irish maid that she, the mistress could write her name in the dust. The maid replies, "Ain't edykashun a woonderfool t'ing!"
At Strokestown in County Roscommon, the tour guide showed a jar that used to contain leeches. If the masters got to overbearing, some of the leeches were liable to show up as one of the unknown ingredients in the dishes at dinner. That was the story among the locals.

I've not had reason to watch TVLand. Benson may be a reason.
