I remember watching this in 80s in reruns.

Right, they may complain about the food, but that fine talent is great.

You have Linda, Polly, Beth, Vic, Henry, Philip, sometimes Diane, Celia and even Martha to draw in the audiences... and to keep em watching from one episode to the next.

And that Martha was always so lively that audiences couldn't tell that she was doing denture cream commercials on the sidelines concurrently, billing herself as "the Mouth."

It had a great caste and was always funny. I'm glad antanna TV is carrying it.

Kinda makes you wonder, though, with the customers always complaining about the food, how Mel could stay in business.
