Easter ! With Fibber McGee & Molly

Fibber McGee and Molly was a popular American radio comedy series that aired from 1935 to 1959, one of the longest-running radio comedy shows of the era. The show starred Jim Jordan as Fibber McGee and Marian Jordan as his wife, Molly.

Key points about the show:

1. The show was set in the fictional Midwestern city of Wistful Vista, where Fibber McGee and Molly lived at 79 Wistful Vista.

2. Fibber was a likable but somewhat foolish and stubborn character who often found himself in humorous situations due to his schemes and white lies. Molly was his patient, common-sense wife who often had to help him out of trouble.

3. The show featured a variety of recurring characters, including the McGees’ neighbors, friends, and local townspeople, many of whom were played by the supporting cast members.

4. One of the show’s most famous running gags was the cluttered closet in the McGees’ home, which would emit a loud avalanche of sound effects whenever opened.

5. The show was known for its witty dialogue, puns, and catchphrases, such as “T’ain’t funny, McGee!” and “Heavenly days!”

6. The series was created by Jim Jordan and Don Quinn, who also wrote many of the episodes. The show was initially a summer replacement for The Johnson Wax Program before becoming a hit in its own right.

7. Fibber McGee and Molly showcased a variety of popular musical acts and singers of the time, including The King’s Men, Martha Tilton, and The Billy Mills Orchestra.

The show’s success led to a feature film adaptation in 1944, and it later transitioned to television for a brief run in the late 1950s. Fibber McGee and Molly remains an iconic example of classic American radio comedy.
