 I'm Greg Bell, and we begin this comedy block with Harold Perry as the Great Gildersleeve. Then how about we check out the series where that character originated, Fibber McGee and Molly. There is a more direct connection between the two episodes we'll be presenting, as both of them deal with Rock Morton P. Gildersleeve's decision to depart Wistful Vista and relocate to Summerfield. The broadcast dates will seem a little backwards, though. Why? Well, the new series The Great Gildersleeve debuted in late August of 1941.
