It's a Great Life (also known in syndicated reruns as The Bachelors)[1] is an American situation comedy which aired on NBC from 1954 to 1956.[2] Frances Bavier, six years before being cast as Aunt Bee[note 1] in CBS's The Andy Griffith Show, played a somewhat similar role as Mrs. Amy Morgan, the owner of a boarding house.[3][4] The series also starred three comedic actors, James Dunn, William Bishop, and Michael O'Shea.
