Eisenhower and Lutz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eisenhower and Lutz was a sitcom which aired for eleven episodes on CBS in 1988. It starred Scott Bakula (later of Quantum Leap and Enterprise fame) as Barnett M. "Bud" Lutz, Jr., a shiftless ambulance-chasing lawyer. Lutz had trouble getting clients, so his father (played by Henderson Forsythe) added the name "Eisenhower" to his shingle to attract clientele, much the same way Laura Holt invented "Remington Steele" for her struggling detective agency on the private-eye drama of the same name. Lutz spent more time trading quips with the women in his life -- Megan, played by DeLane Matthews, and K.K., played by future Home Improvement star Patricia Richardson -- than he did actual legal work, which might've been why the series didn't last a full half-season.
