Lotsa Luck is an American sitcom, broadcast on NBC during the 1973–74 television season. The series stars Dom DeLuise as bachelor Stanley Belmont who lives with his bossy mother (Kathleen Freeman), his sister Olive (Beverly Sanders) and her unemployed husband, Arthur (Wynn Irwin). Jack Knight stars as Stanley's best friend, Bummy.
Lotsa Luck is based on the British ITV London Weekend Television series On the Buses.[1]
The show centers around Stanley's frustration with his lazy, mooching brother-in-law, Arthur, who refuses to get a job, dresses like a slob (usually unshaven and wearing a bathrobe), is constantly smoking and eats like a horse. Stanley works at the lost-and-found department of the city bus company, supporting his entire family.
The show was ranked 52nd out of 80 shows that season with a 16.9 rating with Music Country USA.[2]
