We Got it Made

"We Got it Made" was a short-lived American television series that lived two lives ? once on NBC (that aired during the 1983-1984 season) and again in syndication (1987-1988).

1983 NBC version

The show focused on Mickey Mackenzie (Teri Copley), a stunningly beautiful woman in her early 20s who applies for a housekeeping job in Manhattan. Her employers are two bachelors who share the two-bedroom apartment ? attorney David Tucker (Matt McCoy) and 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), 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, it appeared "We Got it Made" would be successful, winning its time slot early in the run. But before long, negative reviews from both critics and the general viewing public eroded its viewership. By March 1984, "We Got it Made" became the latest casualty of NBC's disastrous 1983-1984 season.
