The Great Gildersleeve ran from
1941 to 1957. The show was arguably the first spin-off program, as well as
one of the first true situation comedies (as opposed to sketch programs)
in broadcast history. Built around a character who had been a staple on
the classic radio sit-com Fibber McGee and Molly, The Great Gildersleeve
enjoyed its greatest success in the 1940s. Actor Harold Peary played the
character during its transition from the parent show into the spin-off,
and later in a quartet of feature films released at the height of the
show's popularity. It was first written by Leonard L. Levinson.
As to how The Great Gildersleeve went from Fibber McGee and Molly to his
own show The Great Gildersleeve, read on.
On Fibber McGee and Molly, Peary's Gildersleeve was a pompous windbag who
became a consistent McGee nemesis ("You're a haa-aa-aa-aard man, McGee!"
became a Gildersleeve catch phrase). However, he also became a popular
enough windbag that Kraft Foods, who was looking primarily to promote its
Parkay margarine spread, sponsored a new series with Peary's Throckmorton
P. Gildersleeve. On Fibber McGee and Molly, the character was given
several conflicting first names. On , one episode of that show his middle
name as revealed as Philharmonic.
Premiering on NBC on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the
title character from the McGee's Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where
Gildersleeve now oversaw his late sister's estate and took on the rearing
of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene
Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy
(Walter Tetley) Forester. In a striking forerunner to such later
television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are
centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings' children,
Gildersleeve was a bachelor raising two children while, at first,
administering a girdle manufacturing company ("If you want a better
corset, of course it's a Gildersleeve") and then for the bulk of the
show's run, serving as Summerfield's water commissioner, between time with
the ladies and nights with the boys. Indeed, The Great Gildersleeve may
have been the first broadcast show to be centered on a single parent
balancing child-rearing, work, and a social life, done with taste and
genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's now slightly
understated pomposity.
The key to the show was Peary, one of the most gifted voice actors of his
generation (and several others), whose booming voice and facility with
moans, groans, laughs, shudders, and inflection was as close to body
language and facial suggestion as a voice could get. Peary was so
effective, and Gildersleeve became so familiar a character, that he was
referenced and satirized periodically in other comedies and in a few
cartoons. (No small irony there: Peary in later life included cartoon
voicing in his work after his radio stardom.)
Peary went on to continue his career (often billed as "Hal Peary") in
films and television well into the 1970s. He died of a heart attack in
1985.
One of those great trivia tidbits that really emphasizes that talent runs
in the family. Many of original episodes were co-written by John Whedon,
the father of Tom Whedon (who wrote The Golden Girls), and grandfather of
Zack Whedon, Deadwood script writer and Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the
Vampire Slayer and Firefly).
Sit back and enjoy some great laughs listening to the trials and
tribulations of The Great Gildersleeve. With over
250 hours and 510
episodes filled with side splitting laughter, you won’t want to miss a moment of
the fun.

Production Notes
Source Material:
Please note that the
DVDs/CDs whether video or audio are produced with the original
film footage or audio stock. We have deliberately left in all
the slight imperfections which adds to the nostalgia, charm and
wonder of these vintage DVDs and old time radio shows. All are
compiled from public domain sources.

Our DVDs are produced
and then packaged in full size DVD cases for easy storage with
your other DVDs. We do

Video DVDs:
The DVDs are designed
to play on all home and computer DVD players, they are region
free, NTSC productions. We use only high quality DVD media to
maximize compatibility. The vast majority of DVD players work
fine with our DVD discs. Still, there are some that may
experience problems, this compatibility issue does exist for a
small percentage of older DVD players in use today.
Radio Show CDs & DVDs:
The MP3 CDs and DVDs
are playable on any computer with a DVD/CD drive and an MP3
player such as Window Media Player. The CDs will also play in CD
players which accept MP3 files. This includes both home and auto
players. Also, we've found that many DVD players will play MP3
files. The individual episode files have been left accessible so
that they can be transferred to portable devices or CDs for your
convenience.
