George was a Swiss-Canadian television series which aired on CTV on Thursday evenings in 1972-73. The series was based on the 1971 film George!, about the adventures of a St. Bernard dog and his owner who live in Switzerland. Marshall Thompson starred in both the film and the resulting half-hour series. The series made its CTV debut in a Thursday evening time slot on 16 September 1972. However, George ended in 1973 after its only season. The Globe and Mail's Blaik Kirby considered the program to be "abysmal". Despite its short run and mixed critical reaction, the series was rerun on CTV affiliates for years afterwards, usually to fill Saturday morning schedules.

To supplement their pension, the eccentric couple August and Ida Bodendiek rent a room to young Klaus. His father wants to remarry, so Klaus moved out of his parents’ house and now works the night shift as a truck driver. This gives the Bodendieks the opportunity to double their income: at night, they rent the room to Lisa Franzen, who works as a secretary during the day. When Klaus loses his job, he inevitably runs into Lisa in their shared apartment. He also tells a white lie, pretending to be Lisa’s husband, which leads the two to fall in love without knowing that they are step-siblings—because Lisa’s mother is Klaus’s father’s new wife.

The doctor called to his aid, Dr. Hartung, strongly advises him to take a three-month break—in other words, to take a “vacation from himself.” After some hesitation, Stefenson agrees and also commits to funding the project, since an institution offering such a program has so far existed only as a dream in the doctor’s mind. As part of the “vacation from the self,” all participants are given a new first name and work clothes so they do not have to reveal their true identities to any of the other residents.
