Apple's Way is an American drama television series that aired on CBS from February 10, 1974, to January 12, 1975.
The Apples of Los Angeles—architect George, his wife Barbara, their children Paul, Cathy, Steven, and Patricia; and Grandfather Aldon—seek refuge from the hectic pace of city living and relocate to George's hometown of Appleton, Iowa,[1] which was founded by his ancestors.
They live in a working grist mill that serves as a backdrop for the situations depicted in each episode.
The series did not gain the ratings CBS had hoped for, partly because[citation needed] it had to compete with NBC's long-running Top 20 hit The Wonderful World of Disney and ABC's popular crime drama The F.B.I..
Two decades after this series left the air, lead actors Ronny Cox and Frances Lee McCain were reunited in the short lived 1993–1994 television prime time soap Second Chances.
