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
