"Café Americain" is an American sitcom starring Valerie Bertinelli which aired on NBC during the 1993-1994 television season. It was filmed at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, California.

Overview

Bertinelli played a young American woman, Holly Aldrige, who finds a job working as a waitress in a small café in France. The cast consisted of an assortment of eccentric characters from around the world who regularly visited the café, interacting in many hilarious circumstances. Madame Ybarra, a former dictator's wife, was a thinly veiled spoof of Imelda Marcos. Fabiana Borelli, the tempestuous Italian model, and her perpetually jealous Italian lover Carlo, regularly sparred and reconciled, with Carlo declaring of any real or imagined rival, "I kill him! I kill him bad! I kill him "two times"!" Marcel's on and off relationship with Holly set the stage for comedic interference by several guest star suitors.
