'Life,' 'Liberty,' and 'The Pursuit of Happiness' -- TV titles inspired by the Declaration

In honor of the Fourth of July, we offer five TV productions whose titles were inspired by the most memorable phrase of the Declaration of Independence:

"Life" (2007-09, NBC) -- Critically acclaimed, but little-watched drama about a former police officer (Damian Lewis) who returns to the force after having been wrongly imprisoned for years.

"I Love Liberty" (March 21, 1982, ABC) -- A Norman Lear-produced variety special saluting the 250th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Highlights included Robin Williams performing a monologue as the American flag and the Muppets playing members of the Continental Congress. Guests spanned the political spectrum from Jane Fonda to Barry Goldwater.

"Liberty" (June 23, 1986, NBC) -- Three-hour movie pegged to the centennial of the Statue of Liberty centered on the two men responsible for the landmark's concept and production: French sculptor Frederic Auguste Berthold (Frank Langella) and American coppersmith Jack Marchand (Chris Sarandon). Journalist Pete Hamill wrote the screenplay.

"The Pursuit of Happiness" (1995, NBC) -- Short-lived sitcom about a lawyer (Tom Amandes) whose idealism has been crushed. A pre-"Raymond" Brad Garrett had a role as a gay partner in the law firm.

"Pursuit of Happiness" (1987-88, ABC) -- Sitcom with Paul Provenza as a professor seeking advice from his heroes: Thomas Jefferson and Magic Johnson.
