What makes The Great Gildersleeve a great radio comedy? Historically, it was the first-ever spinoff series, and its classic sitcom characters were more deeply and warmly drawn than its parent show Fibber and McGee and Molly, but no less funny. Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve was the unforgettably blustery Water Commissioner of Summerfield, portrayed with a famous laugh full of innuendo by Hal Peary (and later Willard Waterman). Gildy's interactions with his nephew Leroy and niece Marjorie; friends like Judge Hooker, Peavey the druggist, and Floyd the barber; and his romantic entanglements with Leila Ransom and others delivered laughs every week.
All the regulars are here in this new script penned by Robert L. Mills and recreated by some of Audion's most talented voices:
Trevor Rines, in Ontario Canada
Julie Hoverson in Washington State
Pete Lutz in Texas
Mel Rose in Pennsylvania
and Randy Kerdoon in Washington State
The script was penned by Robert L. Mills in California
The production was supervised by Larry Groebe in Texas
