No one ever calls anyone a jackass in this group.

I'm probably the only one old enough to remember Betty's first TV
sit-com. She played the title character in "Life With Elizabeth"
probably around '53-'55? Her co-star was Jim Backus but I remember
nothing about the few episodes I saw. I'm thinking it was another
version of "I Love Lucy"...wife gets in minor trouble with someone or
something......etc.
Ms. Betty was also one of the best celeb game show guests ever. She was
brilliant on Password and many others too.

No, her co-star was Del Moore.

Each episode consisted of three short vignettes.

I am agreeing with "mixing it ("Life with Elizabeth" ) up with "I
Married Joan." The page states the cast of LWE.
Hope that works for you Uni.

You're thinking of "I Married Joan" (another 'Lucy'-type sitcom) with
Jim Backus.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Married_Joan
(Oct. 1952-Apr. 1955)
You did get the years correct, exactly on
LwE, Oct. 1953-Sept. 1955, so there is that overlap with the two shows
copying Lucy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_with_Elizabeth
but I remember
nothing about the few episodes I saw.
Probably because you were mixing-it-up
with "I Married Joan."

Yes, I'm obviously mixing up the 2 shows. I remember IMJ too, but like
LWE, I recall nothing about either as I've already proven by citing
Backus in the wrong show.

That wasn't the only name that was considered for that song. Here's more:
The song started out as "Terry," then "Jackie" (after Jacqueline Kennedy),
and later as "Perry," the name of one of producer Bob Crewe's labels, but it
was eventually named for the daughter of New York WMCA "Good Guy" disc jockey
Jack Spector, "Sherry" Spector.
