Heaven for Betsy didn’t last a super long time, only broadcasting from September to December 1952. However, it did take up that fall lineup slot on major broadcaster CBS. The two stars, Stone and Lemmon, were married on the show, but also in real life!  It was based on The Frances Langford/Don Ameche Show sketch called The Couple Next Door, something that the star couple often appeared in.
