My two favorite things about the TV series The Jeffersons: the great theme song, and the way that George called his wife, Louise, "Weezy." It made their marriage seem more affectionate, unlike most other TV couples. Lucy and Ricky were always Lucy and Ricky on I Love Lucy; the Cleavers of Leave it to Beaver called each other June and Ward; the Father Knows Best Andersons were always Jim and Margaret; on Family Ties, the parents always called each other Steven and Elyse; etc. Can anyone give any examples of a TV character, besides George Jefferson, who had a cute pet name for his/her spouse? (Besides "honey" or "dear," or just a shortened name such as "Rob" on The Dick Van Dyke Show?)

Going way back, on the Danny Thomas Show Danny used to call his wife Kathy (Marjorie Lord) "Irish".

Archie Bunker called Edith "Dingbat" Oh yeah, now I remember there was one episode in which Edith mentioned how that nickname got started, when Archie started calling her his "little dingbat" when they were still dating. I guess she was the only one who still regarded it as a term of endearment. Any others?

According to Wikipedia, Mrs. Howell’s first name is Eunice so I guess “Lovey” is a nickname.

I love how Balki calls Mary-Anne his little lamb shank on the Perfect Strangers show.
God bless you always!!!

More a dramady than sit com, but Susan's ex Karl called her Susie Q on Desperate Housewives.

Archie Bunker called Edith "Dingbat" My very first thought upon reading the subject line.
