The Eve Arden Show is a 26-episode American sitcom which aired during the 1957–1958 season on CBS, alternately sponsored by Lever Brothers and Shulton, Inc.
The show, starring Eve Arden, centers on Liza Hammond, a widowed mother of her twin daughters who works as writer and lecturer.
It features actress Frances Bavier (the future Aunt Bee of The Andy Griffith Show) as Hammond's mother, Nora, who lives with the family.
Despite the fact that it followed The Phil Silvers Show (which during its first two years had been one of the top 30 programs on television), both sitcoms failed to beat its competition on ABC - Cheyenne (with Sugarfoot on alternate weeks) and The Life and Times Of Wyatt Earp.
Then, in 1967, Desi Arnaz brought her back to weekly television in an NBC sitcom co-starring singer-comedian Kaye Ballard called The Mothers-In-Law.
