Leading Ladies of Television's Golden Age & Life with Elizabeth DVD Reviews - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In the golden age of television, the small screen was largely dominated by men. But there were a few ladies who took control and were in the lead role as pioneers of television. In Timeless Media Group's Leading Ladies of Television's Golden Age DVD set, we get to see sixteen episodes from four different series of the early days of television. Included in this two-disc public domain set are The Burns and Allen Show, Life With Elizabeth, The Lucy Show, and The Loretta Young Show.

I'm disappointed that "Our Miss Brooks" wasn't included!

Life with Elizabeth - 2-Disc Set - 8 Episodes

Betty White is a celebrity on the small screen these days (and perhaps her celebrity status is bigger now than it ever has been), but long before she was Rose Nylund or Sue Ann Nivens or even the celebrity on Password, she was a housewife named Elizabeth in the low-budget syndicated series from 1953-1955, Life With Elizabeth.

Life With Elizabeth was produced by Don Fedderson (later known for hit series such as My Three Sons and Family Affair) and starred Betty White as Elizabeth, a young (and believe me, she is very young here) housewife who always seems to get in trouble doing the most innocent of things. Think of I Love Lucy, with an even less competent Lucy. Del Moore plays her husband Alvin. Betty White eventually went on to win an Emmy for the series, but of course, her legacy goes far beyond that one Emmy... this is just the beginning of her long career that doesn't appear to be coming to an end any time soon!
