The series stars Larry Hagman and Donna Mills, and was produced by Lorimar, in association with Screen Gems.
The Good Life is the story of a middle class American couple, the Millers (Hagman and Mills), who have tired of their mundane existence.
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 just decide to seek new employment as the live-in butler and cook of a millionaire industrialist, Charles Dutton.
Being a spin-off from Dallas, Knots Landing featured Hagman in the role of J. R. Ewing, who was often in cahoots with Mills' character Abby Cunningham.
David Wayne would also reunite with Hagman on Dallas, where he originated the role of Willard "Digger" Barnes.
