𝗕𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗡 is an American television sitcom that originally ran on ABC for seven seasons, from September 13, 1979, to April 19, 1986.

The show stars Robert Guillaume in the title role of Benson DuBois, the head of the household for Governor Eugene X. Gatling, played by James Noble. The show focused on the conflicts and relationships within the Governor's household, with Benson generally providing the sarcastic voice of reason. Inga Swenson, Missy Gold, Didi Conn, Ethan Phillips, and René Auberjonois all played long-term supporting roles.

The series was a spin off of 𝗦𝗼𝗮𝗽 in which the character Benson first appeared as the wise-cracking yet level-headed African-American butler for the highly dysfunctional Tate family.
