Description
 
The Fibber McGee and Molly Show
The 1945/1946 Season
 
 
The Old Timer. Myrt the Operator. The Great Gildersleeve. Beulah. Mayor Latrivia. These names all share one common thread. They were first heard on one of the greatest radio comedies ever to play on the airwaves. And a season of that show, restored to the highest quality possible, is collected in The Fibber McGee and Molly Show, The 1945/1946 Season.
 
Sponsored by Johnson's Wax, Fibber McGee and Molly moved from the Blue Network to NBC in March, 1938. Already well established before the move, most experts agree that Fibber McGee and Molly hit its stride not long after the network change.
 
Even though it wasn't yet the legend it would become, the building blocks were in place in the late 1930s. Fibber was a teller of tales, blustery and boastful, until reproached by the long suffering, tolerant Molly. The door of their home at 79 Wistful Vista must have been revolving as an assortment of characters flitted in and out of it every week. Established Chicago actors like Isabel Randolph, Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, and even announcer Harlow Wilcox peopled The McGee's fictional address with over the top, hilarious performances. Peary proved so memorable and effective that he went on to another show considered classic by many, The Great Gildersleeve.
 
The Fibber McGee and Molly Show, The 1945/1946 Season collects a full season of shows, restored to Sparkling audio quality. Listen as the characters everyone loves come to life in this collection. Fibber McGee and Molly expert Karl Pearson is the Series Contributor for this set. Enjoy 18 hours, 36 shows of pure fun.

5 of 5 So much better than Public Domain March 31, 2021
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.
Chalk and cheese..
So much happier with Radio Archives Copy.

5 of 5 Fiber & Molly CD's February 28, 2013
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from United States  
Excellent quality.  I love these old shows. I wish RadioArchives had more of these to offer. The shows from the 40's were the best.
