We Got It Made was an American sitcom that aired on NBC from September 8, 1983 to March 10, 1984 and in first-run syndication from September 11, 1987 to March 30, 1988. The series was created by Gordon Farr and Lynne Farr Brao (credited as simply Lynne Farr during the 1987-88 season), and was executive produced by Fred Silverman in association with MGM Television.
The show focuses on Mickey Mackenzie (Teri Copley), a girl in her early 20s who applies for a housekeeping job in Manhattan. Her employers are two bachelors who share the two-bedroom apartment—conservative attorney David Tucker (Matt McCoy) and goofy, idealistic salesman Jay Bostwick (Tom Villard). Mickey is the first—and-only applicant for the job; in fact, both David and Jay are so taken by her beauty, they immediately hire her.
Both David and Jay had girlfriends—David's was Claudia (Stepfanie Kramer, who left midway through the first season and found far greater fame on the NBC crime drama, Hunter), while Jay dated kindergarten teacher Beth Sorensen (Bonnie Urseth). Both Claudia and Beth were skeptical about their boyfriends having such an attractive maid living with them, but they eventually grew to accept Mickey as a friend.
When it first premiered, We Got It Made looked to be successful, winning its time slot early in the run. Before long, though, negative reviews from both critics and the general viewing public eroded its viewership. NBC moved the series from its original Thursday night berth to Saturdays in January 1984. The change in its night and time did little in keeping the series on the air; in March 1984, We Got It Made was cancelled.
We Got It Made was revived in first-run syndication for the 1987-1988 season as part of NBC's "Prime Time Begins at 7:30" campaign, in which the network's owned-and-operated stations ran first-run sitcoms in the 7:30-8:00 pm time slot to counterprogram competing stations' game shows, sitcom reruns, and other offerings. However, the series was picked up by non-NBC stations, as well.
