A Funny Monday

First a look at this day in History.

Then Mr. and Mrs Blanding starring Cary Grant and Betsy Drake, originally broadcast May 5, 1951, 74 years ago, Rebuilding the Barn.   Mr. Blandings decides to rebuild the barn...not an easy job!

Followed by My Friend Irma starring Marie Wilson, originally broadcast May 5, 1953, 72 years ago, Irma Wants an Older Man.  It’s Irma’s birthday, but after Al cancels her birthday lunch, she decides she needs an older man.  

Then The Royal Gelatin Hour starring Rudy Vallee, originally broadcast May 5, 1938, 87 years ago with guest Boris Karloff. Rudy interviews Washington Lumpkin, a sandhog working on the new 6th Avenue subway in New York City. Mr. Lumpkin loses his place in the script. Tommy Riggs and "Betty Lou" appear on the show for the 40th time of 49 appearances.  Boris Karloff and Harold Vermilyea appear in an Arch Oboler drama titled, "Danse Macabre."

Finally. Lum and Abner, originally broadcast May 5, 1942, 83 years ago, Lum gets ckeck from Squire!  Lum gets the last laugh!
