Granby’s Green Acres was a 30-minute comedy radio show that focused on the life of John Granby, a former bank teller, and Martha Granby, his talkative wife. The couple left their life in the city to pursue a much easier, slower-paced life of a farmer. However, they did not expect what was there in the life of every farmer. Gale Gordon and Bea Benaderet played the roles of John Granby and Martha Granby, respectively.

Other stars in the show included Louise Ericsson as Janice, John and Martha’s daughter, and Parley Baer as Eb, their old-man hand. It was Jay Sommers who produced, wrote, and directed the show. CBS launched the show’s first episode on July 3, 1950 and its last  on August 21, 1950, producing a total of 6 episodes.

 ABOUT OLD TIME RADIO
The buzz-term for Old Time Radio is "OTR". OTR usually means radio broadcasting from the golden age of radio, mostly before 1964.These shows from the pre-television age include adventure, comedies, mystery shows, western dramas and shows from World War II. These programs feature the best talent of the day and were broadcast nearly as widely as cable programs today. And just like TV today, families would gather around their crystal radio sets to enjoy the entertainment together.
