Eisenhower and Lutz is an American sitcom which aired for thirteen episodes on CBS from March 14 to June 20, 1988.
The series stars Scott Bakula as Barnett M. "Bud" Lutz, Jr., a shiftless ambulance-chasing lawyer. Lutz had trouble getting clients, so his father (Henderson Forsythe) added the name "Eisenhower" to his shingle to attract clientele. Lutz spent more time trading quips with the women in his life—Megan, (DeLane Matthews), and K.K. (Patricia Richardson) -- than he did actual legal work.
Creator Allan Burns later used three actors from this series—Matthews, Richardson and Geter—on his 1989 NBC sitcom FM.
