TV Guide Canada Fall Preview 1980


Cast 1980-81 Last season's The Last Resort was set in a rural resort full of college-boy waiters. This series changes all that: it's set in a big-city club and the waiters are wait-ress-esssssssses! And, of course, they have a tough, no-nonsense boss, maitress d' Nancy (Marian Mercer, far left), to keep them in line. But that's something they need. These waitresses may be swell to look at, but they're hardly interchangeable look-objects: each has her own personality, with problems to match, or mismatch. The table-hoppers are (continuing to the right) Cassie (Ann Jillian), who's brash-blonde and wised up while Vicki (Wendy Schaal) is terminally innocent; Jan (Barrie Youngfellow), who moonlights in college while Dot (Gail Edwards) moons about an acting career; and Lois (Susan Sullivan), who's as sane and sensible as she is statuesque. Which is plenty. They all stick together, because if they have high hopes and big dreams, they also have customers, some of whom drink too much, tip too little and pinch too often. Now then, is this a living? It won't be--unless there are some pretty high ratings on order.
