They needed Mr. Lucas!

This was an alright show. It was still funny but I think it didn't work because the jokes had been done before and there weren't enough cast members from the original. But some of the episodes were really good and I liked the new continuing subplots that the other show just didn't have. But I guess people got tired of Are You Being Served. I wish they had gotten Trevor Bannister on to guest-star as a guest in the hotel: that would have been really something!!!
