Show 1 - Now this is early television. In fact, its so early that the producer didn`t know if television would be a series of 5, 10, or 15 minute shows or would be half hours and hours. To play it safe, he had ten minute vignettes that could be syndicated alone or put together for half hours. Betty White makes here TV debut in this series, and ended up a television icon. Del Moore was on his way to a decent career but unfortunately died young.

Show 3 - What the harp had to do with Life With Elizabeth is anyones guess at this point. It must have been a good idea, however as it was done by Don Fedderson, who started his career as a Hollywood TV producer with this series and went on to be quite prolific, including My Three Sons.

Show 4 - The Life With Elizabeth show is really not much more than a series of loosely written skits, filmed before a live audience at a Los Angeles television station. The show was easy to produce and dozens were made each year. If you are looking for a plot, you will have to look somewhere else. Not really funny, but it passed for entertainment way back then.

Jerry Lewis movie fans will take a curious second look at Del Moore, who became a Jerry Lewis confidant and appeared in cameo roles in many of his movies.
