Executive Suite is an American drama television series based on the 1954 film of the same name. It aired from September 20, 1976 until February 11, 1977.
The series is a prime time soap opera set at the Cardway Corporation in Los Angeles. Much of the action focused on the power-struggle between Don Walling (Cardway's president) and Howell Rutledge (the company's vice president and his chief rival). Howell was assisted by his equally scheming and conniving wife, Astrid. Don's home life included his wife Helen; his prodigal son Brian; and his daughter Stacey, who was often involved in radical politics, to her family's dismay. Other characters are various employees of Cardway and members of the company's board.
