Description
 
The Fibber McGee and Molly Show
The 1943/1944 Season
 
 
One true testament to the strength and popularity of a show is when another idea spins out of it and proves successful. With that as evidence, Fibber McGee and Molly was definitely a strong and popular show. A full season of the program is collected in The Fibber McGee and Molly Show, The 1943/1944 Season.
 
Literally overflowing with memorable characters, Fibber McGee and Molly boasts not one, but two successful spin offs during its run. Harold Peary, one of the Chicago performers who joined the show after the move to NBC, played McGee’s neighbor and often arch nemesis, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve. The blustery, flustered way that Peary played ‘Gildy’ proved so popular that actor and character both ended up headlining a new show - The Great Gildersleeve. According to John Dunning, this was the first series to prove to be a hit to spin out of another show, not to mention into movies and television.
 
The second character born on Fibber McGee and Molly only to go on to her own program was the McGee’s maid, Beulah. Debuting in 1944, Beulah proved a big hit, even though she was actually portrayed by a man named Marlin Hurt. Hurt’s performance as the jovial, humorous woman won fans over and Beulah went on to have her own show and even a television program!
 
Enjoy an entire season restored to sparkling audio quality in The Fibber McGee & Molly Show, The 1943/1944 Season that gave life to so many wonderful characters and series!
 
Fibber McGee and Molly expert, Karl Pearson, is the Series Contributor for this set. Enjoy 20 hours, 39 shows of pure fun.

5 of 5 So much better than Public Domain May 28, 2022
Reviewer: Michael Gonzales from San Diego, CA United States  
I already had these episodes from public domain sources but I simply got tired of all the distortion and system noise. I broke down and spent the money on quality copies. So much happier with Radio Archives Copy.
