United States of America
The show revolved around Amanda Cartwright's attempts to run her hotel, Amanda's by the Sea, despite the various challenges she faced from both her staff and the quirky guests that frequented the hotel.
Amanda was a strong-willed and no-nonsense woman who often found herself at odds with her son Marty, who was the hotel manager and had a tendency to make impulsive decisions without consulting his mother. Marty's wife Arlene, who was portrayed as spoiled and entitled, also caused problems for Amanda as she constantly tried to take advantage of her position as Marty's wife.
Earl the chef and Aldo the bellhop added to the chaos at the hotel with their own unique personalities and antics. Earl was a talented but temperamental chef, while Aldo was a lovable but incompetent bellhop who often found himself in humorous situations.
Throughout the series, Amanda tried to maintain order and professionalism at the hotel while dealing with the constant drama caused by her staff and guests. The show combined comedic elements with more serious themes, such as family dynamics and the challenges of running a business.
Despite its short run, Amanda's was well-received by audiences and critics alike for its witty writing and the strong performance of Bea Arthur in the lead role. The show's cancellation was met with disappointment from fans who had come to enjoy the antics of Amanda and her eclectic group of employees.
