Staring Lucille Ball

My Favorite Husband premiered as a
radio situation comedy on CBS Radio. It starred
Lucille Ball and Richard Denning as Liz and George Cooper. In the
early episodes, their last name was Cugat. They lived at 321 Bundy
Drive in Sheridan Falls, a fictitious city, and were presented as "two
people who live together and like it." The show's main sponsor was Jell-O,
and an average of 3 spots for Jell-O were made in each episode, including
Lucille Ball's usual sign-on, "Jell-O, everybody!" The program ran from 1948
through 1951, during which time 124 episodes were aired. We have 103 of them
for your listening enjoyment.
When three new writers, Bob Carroll, Jr.,
Madelyn Pugh, and Jess Oppenheimer, took over the writing, they changed the
couple's name to Cooper, and remade them into a middle-class couple instead
of a well-to-do banker and his socially prominent wife, believing average
listeners would find this new persona more accessible. And yes, these are
the same writers that helped make I Love Lucy such a classic TV show.
You'll hear real flashes of the comedic genius Lucy showed on her TV show.
If you treasure Lucille Ball, you can't miss this early radio work by
her. It is pure genius.
