Meet Corliss Archer is an American radio program from the Golden Age of Radio, which aired from January 7, 1943, to September 30, 1956. The show was CBS's answer to NBC's A Date with Judy and featured the adventures and trials of 15-year-old Corliss Archer, portrayed by Priscilla Lyon, Janet Waldo, and Lugene Sanders.

The story revolves around the teen life of Corliss, her boyfriend Dexter Franklin, and her father Harry Archer. The clumsy but sweet Dexter, played by Bill Christy and Sam Edwards, is known for his catchphrases, "Holy cow!" and "Heyyyy, Corrrrrliiiiiss!" Harry, portrayed by Bob Bailey, Fred Shields, and Frank Martin, is a lawyer on a constant mission to assert male superiority.

Meet Corliss Archer was created by F. Hugh Herbert and later adapted for television in the early 1950s. The show has few surviving episodes, but those that exist showcase the humorous battle of the sexes and the warm-hearted relationships between the characters.
