Nutt House on NBC

Mel Brooks cocreated this farce about a run-down New York hotel staffed by a collection of incompetents. Harvey Korman and Cloris Leachman, who had worked with Brooks on several films (including `High Anxiety'), gave it their all and there were sight gags and pratfalls galore, but viewers never bought into the slapstick silliness and the show was gone after five episodes.
