    Leo & Liz in Beverly Hills is an American sitcom starring Harvey Korman, Valerie Perrine and Sue Ball[1] broadcast from April 25 to June 6, 1986 on Friday nights at 8:30 p.m ET on CBS.[2]

    Summary[edit]

    Leo and Liz Green were nouveau riche social climbers who had just moved to posh Beverly Hills from New Jersey and were desperate to fit in with their new surroundings, which they found to be quite intimidating.[1] They had typical sitcom problems including zany servants, odd neighbors, and pretentious, snobbish in-laws, as their daughter Mitzi (Sue Ball) had married into a family of "old" (by Beverly Hills standards, that is) money.

    The pilot for this program had been aired the fall before as part of George Burns Comedy Week.[1] However, the program failed to deliver an audience as a mid-season replacement and was canceled after only six regular weekly episodes were aired.[2]
