How bad is George Hamilton?
12 July 2007
He's awful, that's how bad. This is partially a response to the previous solitary comment.

I have an episode of a 1984 George Hamilton sitcom that is so bad it isn't even listed on IMDb OR TV.com. It's the pilot (and possibly only) episode of something called "Poor Richard" and he was the star of a minimal cast.

The show has a "Beverly Hillbillies" storyline. George Hamilton plays a millionaire Beverly Hills mansion dweller that falls on hard times (remember the early 80's economy?) and has to sell his mansion to a newly rich farmer from Iowa (Geoffrey Lewis) who has invented a new pig feed supplement. An invention that makes him rich, rich enough to move to Beverly Hills, buy the mansion and make George Hamilton his butler. Yes, his butler. A pretty and young Alley Mills plays the cook. That's it for the cast, TIGHT!

A half hour sitcom with nary a chortle. Unintentionally unfunny front to back.

This show most likely didn't have a second airing, it was that bad, but how come no listing of it anywhere?
