1977 ABC. "Nancy Goes Sheik." Nancy Walker Happy Days spinoff sitcom set in Vegas. With Ross Martin playing the sheik. H.B. Haggerty as Abdullah. Regular cast members are: Eddie Mekka, Caren Kaye, Scott Baio, Pat Morita, Rhonda Bates, Lynda Goodfriend, Taafe O'Connell, and Garry Marshall. Nancy Blansky is house mother to a complex full of Vegas showgirls, plus Carmine Ragusa's cousin, Joey DeLuca, and Baio as Anthony DeLuca, and she also stages the shows put on in the hotel.
Bambi has her eyes on the visiting sheik, staying on the top two floors of the hotel, but when the two of them get together, the sheik proves hard to handle. Nancy tries to intervene but the sheik has decided to add Bambi to his harem. "Besides my harem needs a blond." "You already have 32 wives." Abdullah, the sheik's manservant, is played by former wrestler Hard Boiled Haggerty. Pat Morita is brought in to do an end around Hard Boiled, while disguised as a waiter, with Nancy hidden in the room service cart. Bambi gets away but Nancy is trapped with the sheik in her place.
Blansky's Beauties is pretty terrible. Arkansas' southern accent is really terrible. Only one episode on Youtube at the moment but I have seen others over the years.
