On Tom Good's fortieth birthday, he decides to escape the rat race for a life of self-sufficiency with his wife, Barbara. Soon they're plowing a field in their suburban yard and tending a goat and pigs, much to the dismay of their upwardly mobile neighbors and friends the Leadbetters. This series, known as The Good Life in the UK, enjoyed such popularity the queen requested a viewing, and as recently as this year it was listed as one of the top ten British sitcoms of all time.
