The series originally premiered as a two-hour television movie pilot entitled Brand New Life: The Honeymooners on September 18, 1989 as part of NBC Monday Night at the Movies and its ratings success led to the commissioning of a weekly series. Afterwards, the show's regular timeslot was on Sunday nights on NBC's The Magical World of Disney from October 1, 1989 to April 15, 1990. The series also marked Barbara Eden's first television series since Harper Valley PTA (1981–1982) and is also her third collaboration with Don Murray, having previously starred together in the television films Return of the Rebels (1981) and The Stepford Children (1987).
The theme song "Brand New Life" was written by Steve Tyrell and performed by Jill Colucci.
