The writing is lighthearted, breathless, and charming, with Corliss and Dexter's relationship at the core of the series. The show is known for its humorous catchphrases, such as Dexter's infamous "Holy cow!" and his braying call, "Heyyyy, Corrrrrliiiiiss!"</p><p>Meet Corliss Archer aired from January 7, 1943, to September 30, 1956, with stints on different radio networks, including CBS, NBC, and ABC.
