    Lightning doesn't strike twice.

    One of the problems with remaking a previous hit, is that it sutomatically invites comparisons. They tried to do everything exactly the same; same type of building, same type of characters, same type of situations, and here, Payne falls short. No surprise at all. It's not that Payne's actors are poor, but they aren't the originals, nor have the comedic timing of the originals. On it's own, not a terrible show. It has it's funny moments, such as when Mo responded to Payne's sentence 'We're going to make love now', and then the pause, 'So get out', and Mo said 'thank you for finishing the sentence'. Like many other shows, this one fails mostly do to poor casting. Larroquette can't do 'Fawlty'. He's funny, but he can't be that character. And once you've seen Cleese at it, well, perhaps no one else can. JoBeth Williams? Nope, nope nope. Not right for the character. Rick Batalla did well as Mo, but the rest were awful. The only hope is, no one will try to duplicate Fawlty Towers again. It's been 22 years now, and hopefully we'll never see that mistake tried again. Five/ten stars, because it's watchable. But that's about it. The commercials in this American version just rips apart any continuity in what little comedy there is in the show.

    Wrong John to Follow the Original John

    I only just discovered the existence of this obvious misfire. The casting and writing doomed it from the start; it simply takes a higher-powered production to stand up to the standards set by the original, and Brit-to-US conversions can be especially tricky. A glance at the first episode on YouTube is telling; virtually every line is followed by intrusive audience laughter, I assume canned. The viewer has no opportunity to judge whether it's funny or not, and for me it makes the show too irritating for its limited merits to be appreciated. Full of commercials too, just as it was aired.

    Of course the success of a 'Fawlty Towers' redo rests primarily on the central character of Basil (or Royal etc.). Too-likable Larroquette couldn't approach the mastery of Cleese, with his endearingly detestable Basil's capacity for crazed malevolence and loony desperation, along with that certain edgy spark. But as Executive Producer of 'Payne', John L. Footed the bill and could cast himself in the main role and call the shots. For my money, the John who would have come closest to the mark would be John Lithgow-- the flavor wouldn't be the same (couldn't be and shouldn't be), but still pretty darn zesty!

    Now, where to go with the rest of the cast... how to work up that special chemistry? Well, when in doubt, go after Saturday Night Live or SCTV graduates, or for that matter 90s talent from Mad TV or In Living Color. In other words, more players with sketch comedy experience, many of whom would have the chops to make the jump to successful sitcoms and big screen careers. Ah well, all wishful thinking at this point. Far better to come up with a fresh concept than invite negative comparison with past brilliance.

    Stateside snobbery to a Fawlt!

    John Larroquette is delightfully rude and self-serving as hotel owner Royal Payne in this Yank version of "Fawlty Towers"! Certainly, his version of crass attitude is different from John Cleese's, as it should be. Some viewers might say that the relationship between Payne and his wife Constance (JoBeth Williams) seems too flexibly forgiving, but there IS a definite viper-like chemistry between the two, like a more sarcastic Nick & Nora Charles. I also like (even though it is a comic-relief ethnic stereotype) Rick Batalla's portrayal of Mohammad, the bumbling bellhop. Just like Manuel in "F.T.", he is cringingly subservient to his boorish boss ... I'm waiting for a dressing-down scene of "This Royal's wife. This Royal. This smack on head." And Larroquette will give Batalla a smack on the head ... let's wait and see!

    Payne-fully bad

    This really ought to qualify as one of the worst television shows of all-time, no kidding. Right up there with Supertrain, The New Odd Couple and all the others in that elite category, that rarefied air. And the fact that it's a cheap knockoff of John Cleese's masterpiece Fawlty Towers isn't even the issue. The jokes and situations are hardly original and the characterizations are downright awful. I actually felt embarrassed for Larroquette, who I think is one of the most underrated comic actors in the world. Granted, he's no Cleese, but he's not that far below him, either. JoBeth Williams was just terrible, as are the Polly and Manuel ripoff characters. It's just plain tasteless, lame and stupid. That Larroquette's character on the show is actually named "Royal Payne" should give you an idea of the intelligence level involved in the humor. "Night Court" and the fabulous "John Larroquette Show" have this turkey beat eight ways to Sunday. An absolute piece of garbage. 0 * out of 4

    No redeeming features whatsoever.

    Really. None. A poor rip-off of Fawlty Towers but without the charm (or the Cleese) of the original. It's a testament to bad taste that more than one episode was made. If you see this in the listings, do yourself a favour and avoid it like the (bubonic) plague - you can use the time to pull your fingernails out instead (it'll be more enjoyable).

      John Cleese was asked to play a role in the second season as the manager of a rival hotel called the Sand Dune. Larroquette wanted "John Cleese to be the owner and be the nicest man in the world." Since "Payne" before a second season was made. it never happened.
