The Great Gildersleeve (Volume 1) Overview
"The Great Gildersleeve" is a long-time favorite of radio fans, with fine writing, engaging characters, and a brilliant blend of comedy and drama that set a high water mark for classic situation comedy. Set in the small town of Summerfield, Willard Waterman is featured as the local Water Commissioner, struggling to successfully raise his niece Marjorie (Marylee Robb) and his precocious nephew Leroy (Walter Tetley), while also courting some of the town's more attractive female residents. As the 20 programs in this Radio Archives collection demonstrate, "The Great Gildersleeve" is one of the true classics of radio, emphasizing a gentle humor that grows out of realistic characters and situations, and remains an endearing family show that is just as amusing and charming today as when it was first aired.Programs include: Trying to Name the Twins - February 28, 1951 / Marjorie and the Twins Coming Home, Grandpa Isn't Needed - March 7, 1951 / Gildy Pushes Attendance at the Jolly Boys Club - March 14, 1951 / Bronco Tries to Run the House - March 21, 1951 / Leroy and Gildy Babysit the Twins - March 28, 1951 / Spring Cleaning the Judge's House - May 2, 1951 / Marjorie and Bronco's First Anniversary - May 9, 1951 / Boating Date with Kathryn - May 16, 1951 / Bronco's Father Arrives and the Twins are Named - May 23, 1951 / Leaving on Vacation to Half Moon Lake and Gildy's Schedule - May 30, 1951 / Leroy Buys a Car - September 5, 1951 / The County Fair Comes to Summerfield - September 12, 1951 / Getting Ready for School and Women Trouble - September 19, 1951 / Marjorie Gets a Job - September 26, 1951 / Gildy Wants to Be Re-Elected President of the Jolly Boys Club - October 3, 1951 / Leroy Visits the Judge - October 10, 1951 / Bronco Almost Forgets About his First Date with Marjorie - October 17, 1951 / Gildy Takes Mrs. Winthrop and Babs on a Picnic - October 24, 1951 / Gildy Finds a Lost Boy - October 31, 1951 / Marjorie and Bronco Want to Build a House - November 7, 1951
