Trivia
John Hillerman was asked to read the part of Mr. Peacock. When he failed to show up for the reading, co-creator Jeremy Lloyd read the lines instead. He was immediately offered the role. When the pilot didn't sell, producer Garry Marshall instead offered Lloyd a part on his current series Happy Days (1974). Lloyd turned it down to pursue other projects.

Beyond awful...

This US version of the UK series "Are You Being Served?" is absolutely dreadful. Considering the cast (notably John Hillerman, Tom Poston, Charlotte Rae and Alan Sues) it should have been a lot better. No wonder this pilot was not picked up. Of course, you can judge for yourself as it's on Youtube, but better to avoid this and stick to the original British comedy.
