I am going to play Fibber McGee and Molly tonight instead of Jack Benny.

Tory

Molly & Fibber: "Taint funny, McGee"

Bill

Hearing Fibber McGee's closet and sound effects still brings a smile to my face after all these years

Bruce

I love Fibber McGee and Molly. Of course I love most of all the old time radio shows.

Carol

I love it. My 14 year old son and 11 year old daughter do, too

Tracy

I love it. It is what got me back in to OTR.

Mike

I love Fibber McGee and Molly.

Philip

I love it and spend insane amounts of time listening to it. I believe that every single sitcom ever borrowed alot from it. The chemistry between fibber and Molly is IMO the best in all media. The show also is the best at having subjects that are down to earth common people problems. Whole shows about returning bottles, mailing packages, figuring income tax, arguing with department stores, etc. Also it gives me a look into the era that no book or teacher could ever provide. I could go on but maybe you get the hint I'm crazy about it.

Andrew

Fibber McGee and Molly are the best.

Tolly

I consider Fibber & Molly old and dear friends.

Tim

When I listen to an old time radio program, I not only literally close my eyes and imagine the action and dialogue going on, but I listen to a show with ears of when it was broadcast. If I listen with 2015 ears, I become cynical and, in some cases, the humor is lame and predictable. I an not suggesting Fibber McGee and Molly were hilarious

Scott

Fibber McGee and Molly was one of the best OTR shows of all time.

Daniel

I love Fibber and Molly! It truly is my favorite. I love so many other shows too, but they are the ones who made me fall in love with OTR

Kristen

My Favorite,,, when they were good. Admitedly there were some where they pretty much put in their time but all in all it still my favorite.

John

Fibber and Molly was a solid show.

Lee

I don't hate Fibber etc., but as much as I want to love it, it just doesn't quite work for me. No idea why. Wish I loved it as much as I love Jack Benny or others....

John

The shows from the early years (35 -39) and those from the last few years (55 -59) were not that great, but the middle years were great. This was after the arrival of Gildersleeves, the return of Molly from her absence, and the polishing of the many running gags. Still one of my favorite comedies.

Roger

I love Fibber McGee and Molly.

Jeff

One of my favorite shows

Spencer

I LOVE Fibber McGee and Molly.

Adam

Fibber and Molly is the perfect situation comedy

Don

i love all the shows

Mike

I liked Fibber McGee

Jerry

Fibber Mcgee and Molly is great.

John

It's one of my favorite OTR show.

Rick

I love Fibber & Molly, but there are other popular shows I could care less about. I think that OTR offers such a wide variety of comedic and dramatic styles that there is something for virtually anyone to enjoy.

Tim

Fibber McGee and Molly is one of my ultimate favorite OTR programs. I think die-hard fans of the show would appreciate the earliest episodes and the later years (the fifteen minute, then five-minute Monitor skits). Those all grew on me. The best years (for me) were 1939-1953 when Molly returned and the show was a half hour. Perhaps others may not care for it because they may unconsciouly look at it from a 21st Century standpoint, rather than put themselves in the era the show was originally on. That's what I do. It gives you an insight of the time period and how things were or could've been for a lot of people. Binge-listening on any OTR show is not a good thing, as any show would begin to feel formulaic, repetitive, therefore a little break is needed. Now, I've listened to other OTR comedies where the show could be a "hit or miss" with me (such as Our Miss Brooks or The Life of Riley). I certainly do not hate those shows though. I love The Great Gildersleeve and Jack Benny. I also love the detective shows (Dragnet, Nightwatch, This Is Your FBI, Johnny Dollar etc.), the thrillers & horror programs (Lights Out, Suspense, The Chase, Inner Sanctum, The Whistler, The Shadow etc.) There are two genres of OTR that I do not care for (westerns and sci-fi) because all of my life, I never cared for them. I don't hate them though--I see their significance and realize why they were so popular in their day. No, not everything in OTR would stand up today, but you cannot look at it through a 21st Century lens. You should understand the time period itself in which the show aired. I know I'm rambling, but that's how I feel about different OTR shows and my favorites.

kristi

I love Fibber and Molly

Shelley

Id love to hear them all.

Joel

My favourite Doc Gamble line: Fibber: "Doc, I've got a pain in the small of my back." Doc: "Listen, I've seen your back. It hasn't got a small."

AL Girard

Off air before I was born. Still better than any sitcom on TV

Chuck

Tony

My favourite "exclamations" from OTR shows..Fibber McGee and Molly

Jeff

Fibber Mcgee is my favorite

Wes

I loved this show, even though the plots were predictable, particularly the closet...except in one episode it was clean and organized! That fooled the audience and me. I loved hearing Wallace Wimple's voice...Bill Thompson cracks me up.

Scott

I should say I LOVE this show....

Scott

I LOVE hearing Wallace Wimple's voice.

Scott

Fibber and Molly, tag team comedy at its best, with a menagerie of Wistful Vista denizens stopping by to add to the insanity. Still funny today...

Bill

One of my favorites from early FMM, is 2nd season Halloween Part episode... before they had the full cast together; so Jim and Marian doing more voices.

John

My mom and her family, listened to it all the time, when she was a kid.

Joe

Love this show.

Tim

One of my all time favorite....Fibber McGee and Molly.

Andy

My all time favorite.

Elizabeth

I love Fibber McGee and Molly

Tracy

My favorite otr show.

William

LOVE this show

Jim

One of my favorite shows

David

I think I enjoy all the shows but one that stands out in my mind is when Molly won the Easter dress, couture yet. Very few shows centered around Molly.

Elaine

My favorite show

Ronni

Love Molly McGhee! She is one of my favorites!

Vanessa

No doubt about it - Jim Jordan was one of the greatest radio actors of them all, and you only needed to follow FM&M to learn that. He showed his mastery of the craft thru the role and show.

Patrick

This brings back so many memories. My parents listened to this show when I was a kid. We had a closet in our house just like their closet and we tried not to open the door as the results were very predicatable. I think of that whenever I see a cluttered closet. Dad called it a "boar's nest."predictable

Helen

I was born in 1964. My mom and dad had all the old radio

Brendan

Great show. When Marion left to see to personal issues the show suffered. It was really great to hear the applause she got on her return.

Mike

One of my all time favorites. I still laugh out loud when I hear them!

Broman

I just enjoy this show so much. I never tire of listening to it. I'm so glad the show is still available.

Mike

It starred the real life married couple, Marian and Jim Jordan. This series was broadcast by NBC from 1935 to 1956. From 1935 to 1950, Johnson Wax paid the bills, then Pet Milk from 1950 to 1952, and Reynolds from 1952 to 1953. Following the long run of this series, the McGees were host of NBC Monitor segments from 1957 to 1959.

FIBBER MCGEE AND MOLLY

I was just listening to a live stream of FM&M, and a commercial of sorts ran. They claimed that work related injuries resulted in a loss of man power equivalent to 100 aircraft carriers or 23,000 bombers. That's one reason I love the show so much. You hear the war in real time. The idea that 1 aircraft carrier was equal in manpower to 230 bombers is mind blowing. Also, illustrated the importance of labor movement on labor day.

Michael

Agree. Also love the show about wholesale merchandise, when LaTrivia wants a globe for his office: If you want one with Japan on it you better buy one quickly! (paraphrased)

Joe

Thought to be the first anti-axis joke after the US entry into the war.

Henry

I love the episodes during the war years. Almost every one has a reminder of some sort to make sure to do your part.

Laura

Also, at the end of the December 9, 1941 episode the whole audience joins in to sing My Country Tis of Thee. Gives me goosebumps every time.

Michael

07.22.1935 The Baseball Instructor is an incorrect date.

Bob Pedersen

I feel like Fibber McGee! Today I cleaned out my bedroom closet-not the hall closet-I rearranged my clothes and found some clothes to put in my family’s next yard sale. I like things to be organized and heavenly days am I happy that I spruced up that closet.

Robert
