Pilot
Striving to get back to the basics, Sara Campbell, a leading authority on homespun country living, decides to abandon her posh Manhattan digs to tape her do-it-yourself home show from a rustic, centuries-old farm in upstate New York. The idea doesn't sit well with her pompous, citified producer, Greg, or her Queens-bred mother, but that doesn't quell Sara's determination to make it work. Upon arriving at the farm, Greg takes an immediate dislike to the grange's handsome foreman; and Sara's rebellious daughter shows up after being kicked out of yet another school.
