"The Good Life" (aka "Good Neighbors")

I've recently been turned on to the show The Good Life, a British television series that aired from 1975 - 1978 (available in the US as Good Neighbors). The show features Tom and Barbara, a British couple who, on Tom's 40th birthday, decide to try a more self-sufficient lifestyle. They turn their garden into a farm and raise pigs and chickens, among other things. Of course, silliness and buffoonery ensues. Many free clips of the show are available on YouTube.com, (possibly the whole series), including this clip (about 8 minutes from season one, episode one):
