The Nutt House was a situation comedy that aired briefly on NBC as part of its 1989 Fall lineup.

The Nutt House was the creation of executive producers Mel Brooks and Alan Spencer and was a broad farce about a once-prestigious New York City hotel which had of late fallen on hard times, in part, no doubt, due to its unfortunate name, the result of its being named for the proprietress, Edwina Nutt (Cloris Leachman). Other characters included manager Reginald Tarkington (Harvey Korman), and head of housekeeping Mrs. Frick (also portrayed by Leachman).

The Nutt House was a very broad satire in which the main story was periodically interrupted by short, unrelated, and often surreal skits. Its audience was quite a narrow one, as the single camera show was intensely visual, and it was rapidly canceled within six weeks of its premiere. However, the series was a critical and ratings hit in the United Kingdom where its demise was met with great dismay.

Many fans of Brooks and Spencer have sought to have the series released on DVD.

In the United States, the opening credits were shown over a ride on a wooden roller coaster.

The set of the sitcom (the lavish Nutt Hotel) was actually the set built for the movie Big Business (1988). The producers of the movie couldn't get the rights to film inside the actual Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, so had it recreated on sound stages, and built "The Nutt House" around it to try and recoup construction costs. Unfortunately, it proved an expensive flop.

The final two episodes never aired.
