Attorney Steve Rutledge wants to better the world but ends up taking questionable cases. His partner Alex has no scruples and secretary Jean is often testy. Mac is his high achieving but newly fired wife and Larry his irresponsible brother.

The series was part of a line-up with both Frasier (1993) and Wings (1990). Like those series, "The Pursuit of Happiness" was a co-production of Grub Street Productions and Paramount Television.

The episode that aired on October 10, 1995 featured a wedding. The other sitcoms aired that night - NewsRadio (1995), Frasier (1993) and Wings (1990), all featured a funeral. This was an NBC promotion capitalizing on the popularity of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), but switching the ratio between weddings and funerals with one alteration (the "four" became "three").
