The Simple Life is an American sitcom television series starring Judith Light which aired on CBS from June 3 until July 8, 1998.

A divorcée, Sara moves her daughter Freddi and mother Muriel to rural upstate New York to live what she preaches — a simpler life.

Sara finds herself in constant conflict with foreman Luke Barton, who is raising his late sisters' son and daughter nearby.

CBS tried another show similar in content earlier in 1998 titled Style & Substance, starring Jean Smart as a lifestyle expert.

The series' rights are currently held by Sony Pictures Television, but is not available to stream on Crackle.
