The Good Life (1971 TV series)

"The Good Life" was a situation comedy which was aired in the United States by NBC as part of its 1971-72 lineup. The series was produced by Lorimar, in association with Screen Gems.

"The Good Life" was the story of a middle class American couple, the Millers, who had tired of their mundane existence. However, instead of following the time-honored premise of "hitting the road" to seek adventure or engaging in a stereotypical period activity such as joining a communal farm, they decided to seek new employment as the live-in butler and cook of millionaire industrialist, Charles Dutton. He noticed that they were not particularly talented at their jobs but found them to be agreeable enough. Their limited skills most definitely were "not" enough for his stuffy sister Grace, however, and she constantly worked to get them fired. Dutton's teenaged son Nick was aware of what the Millers were doing in their new roles but found great humor in helping them to get away with it.

This program did not garner much of an audience and it was cancelled at midseason. It was replaced by the action drama, "Emergency!".
