Benson
Paese d'origine: USA
Genere: Comedy
Lingue: English
Plot: Though technically only in charge of Governor Gatling's household, Benson (the only sane person on hand) solves everyone else's problems. One nemesis is Gretchen, the German housekeeper; another is the Governor's intelligent daughter Katie. The Governor's aides mostly get in the way. In this spinoff of "Soap", Benson DuBois is sent out East to serve as butler to widowed state governor Gene Gatling, an honest but bumbling servant of the people. Although he has his rivals in German maid Kraus and pernickety aides Clayton and Taylor, Benson, armed with an acerbic wit and plenty of smarts, becomes the Governor's close friend and helper, and eventually is elected Lieutenant Governor!
