Fibber McGee & Molly Old Time Radio Program CD 1
Comedy 30 minute episodes
Fibber McGee and Molly, a collaboration between on-air voices Jim and
Marian Jordan, and writer Don Quinn, was first broadcast on NBC Blue on April
16, 1935, sponsored by Johnson’s Wax. Fibber’s early persona as a teller of
tall tales eventually evolved into that of a lovable blunderer; his frequently
"clever" and occasionally well-intentioned acts consistently ending
in disastrous results, much like the character later developed by Lucille Ball.
Marian’s Molly was the epitome of a long-suffering wife. The show grew out of
an earlier program—Smackout--developed by the Jordans, broadcast from
Chicago in the early 1930s.
By 1941, the original amateurish broadcast had attained a professionalism and
polish that allowed it to surpass those of Jack Benny and Bob Hope in popularity.
The weekly half-hour feature lasted until 1953, when it was truncated into a
15-minute show, then eventually dropped by the radio network in the late 50’s.
Fibber McGee and Molly included a number of colorful characters and situations
that provided catch phrases for the time, and still resonate in American memory,
including Harold Peary’s Gildersleeve, spun off into The Great Gildersleeve
in 1941, and of course, Fibber McGee’s closet, precariously crammed with an
improbable assortment of junk.
