Jimning ovozli o'qituvchisi unga Chikagodagi professional sifatida ishlash uchun tavsiya berdi va u unga amal qildi. U barqaror ish topishga muvaffaq bo'ldi, ammo tez orada yo'ldagi hayotdan charchadi. Bir yildan kam vaqt ichida Jim Peoriyaga qaytib keldi va pochta bo'limiga ishga kirdi. Endi Marianning ota-onasi Jimni (va uning karerasini) maqbul deb topdilar va ular er-xotinning turmush rejalariga qarshi chiqishlarini to'xtatdilar. Ushbu juftlik 1918 yil 31-avgustda Peoriyada turmushga chiqdi.^[5]

To'ydan besh kun o'tgach, Jim chaqiruv xabarnomasini oldi.

1924 yilda Jimning akasi bilan Chikagoda bo'lganida, oila radio tinglashardi; Jimning aytishicha, u va Merian hozirda efirga uzatilayotgan musiqiy aktdan ko'ra yaxshiroq harakat qilishlari mumkin. Jimning akasi unga 10 dollar pul tikishdi, ammo ular buni qila olmadilar. Gamblingni yutib olish uchun Jim va Marian WIBOga borishdi, u erda ular darhol efirga uzatildi.

Ularning ichida Luqo va Mirandi farm-report dasturi, Jim berilgan fermerni o'ynadi uzun bo'yli ertaklar va kulgili effekt uchun yuzni tejaydigan yolg'on.^[5] Haftalik komediyada, Smit oilasi, Marianning xarakteri amerikalik politsiyachining irlandiyalik rafiqasi edi. Ushbu xarakteristikalar, shuningdek, Iordaniyaliklarning qo'shiqchi / musiqachi bo'lishidan kulgili aktyorga aylanishi ularning kelajagiga ishora qildi; aynan shu paytda Marian "Teeny" radio personajini ishlab chiqdi va takomillashtirdi.^[7][9] Shuningdek, bu Iordaniya uchrashgan WENRda edi Donald Kvin, o'sha paytda radioda ishlagan karikaturachi va er-xotin uni 1931 yilda o'zlarining yozuvchisi sifatida yollashdi. Ular Kvinnning hissasini muhim deb hisoblashdi va uni to'la sherik sifatida qabul qilishdi; uchun ish haqi Smackout va Fibber McGee va Molly Iordaniya va Kvinn o'rtasida bo'lingan.^[5][8]

Tushkunlikdan charchagan amerikaliklar, kurash o'rtasida o'zlarini ko'nglini topadigan yagona odam emasligini eslatish uchun tashrif buyurishdi va buni oshkor qilmaslik uchun qo'llaridan kelganicha harakat qilishdi. McGees o'z uylarini janob Xagglemeyerning Wistful Vista Development kompaniyasining lotereyasida №131,313 lotereyasi bilan yutib olishdi.

Xotini kasal bo'lsa, Jim Jordan "Xayrli tun, Molli" deb radioeshittirishlarini yopayotgan edi. 1938 yil boshida Federal aloqa komissiyasi qoidalarini buzgan deb da'vo qilib, uni to'xtatishni buyurdi shaxsiy aloqa uchun umumiy efirdan foydalanish. Bir necha hafta davom etgan muhokamadan so'ng Komissiya hech qanday qoidalar buzilmaganligini aniqladi, chunki Molli xayoliy personaj edi. Keyin Iordaniya "Xayrli tun, Molli" belgisini ishlatishni davom ettirdi.^[12] 1939 yil yanvar oyida shou NBC-dan Chikagodan yangisiga o'tdi G'arbiy sohil radiosi Gollivudda.^[13]

• Mirtl, "Mirt" nomi bilan ham tanilgan - deyarli hech qachon eshitilmagan telefon operatori (u 1943 yil 22-iyunda epizodda qisqacha ko'rinishga ega), u Fibber bilan do'st. Mirtning odatdagi eskizlari Fibber telefonni ko'tarib: "Operator, menga 32Oooh raqamini bering, bu sizmisiz, Mirt? Har qanday mayda-chuyda ishlaringiz qanday, Mirt? Nima deysiz, Mirt?" Odatda, bu Fibber tomonidan Mirtning Molliga aytganlarini, odatda Mirtning oilasi haqidagi yangiliklarni etkazish va har doim yomon so'zlar bilan tugatish bilan davom etdi. Mirtl 1943 yil 22-iyun kuni McGees-ga yozning yaxshi o'tishini tilash uchun tashrif buyurganida bir marta qisqacha efirga chiqdi - Makgizlar uni shaxsan tanimadilar.

Dastur efirga uzatilgandan va mashqdan so'ng

Radioeshittirish qattiq jadval asosida olib borildi, bu tarmoqlarda eng yaxshi uyushtirilgan eshittirishlardan biri deb hisoblandi. Jim Jordan dasturga aloqador har bir kishi seshanba kuni efirga uzatilgandan so'ng ikki kunlik dam olishlari kerakligini ta'kidladi. Keyingi seshanba kungi namoyishda juma kuni ertalabgacha Jim va Marian Jordan yozuvchi Don Kvinn va agentlik prodyuseri Sesil Andervud bilan birgalikda keyingi haftalar ssenariysi orqali suhbatlashishgacha hech narsa qilinmadi. Ular ishbilarmonlik ofisida ishladilar, chunki ular ishchan va samarali muhit ularga 2 soat ichida ishni bajarishga yordam berganiga amin bo'lishdi. Shanba kuni ertalab Quinn "Fibber" o'qigan ssenariyning birinchi loyihasini tayyorlab qo'ydi va keyin Quinn yakuniy, ishchi ssenariyga qayta ko'rib chiqildi. U yakshanba oqshomida butun tun bo'yi ishladi va dushanba kuni ertalab, aktyorlar tarkibi NBC-ning Gollivud studiyalarida to'planganda va 2 soat davomida mashq qildi. Shundan so'ng Kvinn yakuniy o'zgarishlarni amalga oshirdi. Seshanba kuni ertalab butun aktyorlar tarkibi (Billi Mils orkestrini ham o'z ichiga olgan holda) stsenariyni taxminan 4 marotaba bosib o'tib, soat 15: 00da to'liq ijro bilan yakunladi. 17:30 da. (Tinch okeani vaqti), shou efirga chiqdi. Ushbu tayyorgarlik tartibi hech qachon haftadan haftaga bir soatdan ko'proq farq qilmas edi.

Reytinglar

Yugurish

Jim va Marian Jordan, Fibber Makgi va Molli singari, G'alaba Bond mitingida Maple Leaf bog'lari yilda Toronto 1945 yilda. Ovoz effektlariga e'tibor bering.

Ko'rgazmaning aksariyat hazillariga tayanar edi takrorlanadigan gaga, ko'rilmagan muntazam va musht chiziqlari ba'zan bu erda va u erda yillar davomida paydo bo'lgan. Ko'rgazma odatda tomoshabinlar bilan 30 daqiqalik translyatsiyani to'liq kulish bilan ochadi Harlow Uilkoks "Fibber McGee va Molly bilan birgalikda Jonson mumi dasturi!" 1944 yil 19-dekabr epizodida "Shkafdagi sovg'alar uchun Fibber Snoops" (3:59 da "zal shkafi" ning mukammal namunasi, a ishlaydigan gag Keyinchalik ushbu yozuvda batafsil tasvirlangan), Jim Jordan tinglovchilarning isishi oxirida ochilgan kulgini uyg'otib: "10 soniya? Oh, biz juda ko'p narsalarni oldik ... Ooooo!"

McGee yomon hazilni aytganda, Molli tez-tez 1940-yillarda tanish iboraga aylangan "T'in kulgili emas, McGee!" Degan satr bilan javob beradi.^[19] Molli Dennis amaki - kamdan-kam eshitiladigan doimiy kishilardan biri. U McGees bilan yashaydi va aftidan bag'ishlangan ichkilikboz bo'lib, a zarba chizig'i ko'plab Fibber hazillari va hatto u "g'oyib bo'lgan" ba'zi ko'rsatuvlarning asosiy mavzusi.

Fibberning doimiy ishi yo'qligi to'g'risida ko'plab ma'lumotnomalar va hazillar mavjud. Shahar hokimi La Trivia tez-tez shahar zalida McGee-ga ish taklif qiladi va vazifalar noaniq ta'riflanganda, odatda, ish joylari hayajonli ko'rinadi; ammo ular ba'zan juda oddiy bo'lib qoladi. Masalan, "shahar hokimligidagi yuqori lavozimlarga qarash" ishi derazalarni tozalash ishiga aylanadi. Yana bir qiziqarli topshiriq - Fibber uchun bir necha kun Wistful Vista Santa Klaus sifatida niqob kiyib ishlash edi.

McGee, o'tgan yillardagi ishlaridan juda faxrlanadi, ba'zida u yillar davomida olgan qiziqarli taxallusini eslaydi. Ushbu taxalluslarning har biri odatdagidek Fibber bilan yomon jumboq. Kimdir Addison ismli kishiga McGee glib suhbatdoshi ekanligini aytganda, McGee "Ad Glib McGee" nomi bilan mashhur bo'ldi. Yoki, Fibber ko'zlari bilan iboralar qilganda, unga "Eyes-a-muggin 'McGee" (ommabop asar Stuff Smit tebranish musiqasi "Men A-muggin '"). U erdan Fibber boshidanoq o'zining laqabini uzoq, nafas oladigan va maqtanchoq ta'rifiga sakrab, hayratga soladigan miqdordagi alliteratsiya.

Dasturda bir muddat Peoria shahridagi Fibber va Mollining maktabdoshi va Makgidan oldin Mollining sevgilisi bo'lgan Otis Kadvallader zikr qilingan edi. Fibber Otisga qarshi uzoq vaqtdan beri g'azablanib, uni o'zini o'zi o'ylaydigan, haddan tashqari ko'paygan xakka o'xshatadi, garchi hamma Cadwalladerni yoqimtoy va jirkanch odam deb bilsa ham. Otisning Fibberga nisbatan hissiyotlari hech qachon tilga olinmaydi, bu Fibberning xushomadgo'yligi bir tomonlama degan taassurot qoldiradi. 1942 yil oxirida ma'lum bo'lganidek, Fibberning g'azabi aslida Kadvalladerni uzoqroq tutishga yordam beradi, chunki Fibber bir vaqtlar Otisdan qarz olgan va uni hech qachon qaytarib bermagan. Cadawallader McGees-ga bitta epizodda tashrif buyuradi. Ular Gildersliev o'z butlerini o'ynab, boy bo'lib yurishadi.

Wistful Vista markazidagi "14-chi va Emanning burchagi" muntazam ravishda shou davomida turli xil uylar, ish joylari va hukumat binolari joylashgan joy sifatida berilgan.

Qachondir kimdir vaqtni so'rasa, bu doim yarim.

McGee baland bo'yli ertaklarni aytib beradigan obro'ga ega va bu moyillikni uning "Fibber" nomi bilan bog'laydigan vaqti-vaqti bilan hazillar mavjud. "Fibber ismini o'zgartiradi" (1941 yil 25 mart) epizodida u "Fibber" shunchaki taxallus emas, balki uning haqiqiy ismi ekanligini da'vo qilishga qadar boradi. Makgining so'zlariga ko'ra, "Men to'rtinchi amakivachcham Uolpol J. Fimmer nomi bilan atalganman ... lekin meni suvga cho'mdirgan vazirning boshida sovuq bor edi".

Zal shkafi

"Shkaf" fotosurati; haqiqiy efirdagi ovozni ovoz effektlari erkaklar tomonidan amalga oshirildi.

Ko'rgazmaning boshqa biron bir gagasi zal shkafi singari esda qolarli va bardoshli bo'lmagan (aslida juda mashhur, PBS Zoboomafoo hazilni tirik ushlab turdi). Gag McGee tomonidan tez-tez kakofonli shkafni ochish bilan bog'liq edi, uning tarkibida bric-a-brac, pastga va tashqariga chalg'igan va ko'pincha etarli darajada McGee yoki Mollyning boshlari ustida.^[20] "Men shkafni shu kunlarning birida tozalab olishim kerak edi" - bu odatdagidek McGee kuzatuvi edi, raketka tushgandan keyin. Tabiiyki, "shu kunlardan biri" deyarli kelmadi. Yaxshi narsa ham bor: bir mashhur misolda, o'g'ri (Bob Bryus o'ynagan) Makgini bog'lab qo'yganida, McGee unga qonli ravishda oilaning kumushi "shu eshikdan, kurtak ... shunchaki oching, oching! " Tabiiyki, o'g'ri o'lja oldi va tabiiyki, u muqarrar qor ko'chkisi ostida ko'mildi, politsiya uni ushlashi uchun etarli vaqt.

Ushbu gaga 1940 yil 5 martda bo'lib o'tgan "Shkafni tozalash" namoyishi bilan boshlanganga o'xshaydi. Molli lug'atni izlayotgan shkafni ochadi va darhol Fibberning "narsalariga" ko'miladi ("u erda men xohlagan tarzda joylashtirilgan"). Shkafni tozalash shou syujetiga aylanib, yo'lda ko'p narsalarni ro'yxatga oladi: fotoalbom, pasli taqa, o'n metrli ustun. Shkafni qayta to'ldirgandan so'ng, Fibber lug'at ham qo'yilganligini tushunadi va u yana shkafni ochib, qor ko'chkisiga sabab bo'ldi. Ushbu epizodda muallifning epizodi ham mavjud Gracie Allen, ajablanib partiyasi chiptasi bilan prezidentlikka nomzod. 1941 yil 30 sentyabrdagi "Dam olish kunidan qaytish; Gildi xayrlashmoqda" namoyishi oxirida, etim jiyani va jiyanini boqishni tugatish uchun Summerfieldga ko'chib o'tgan qo'shni dushman Gildersliv (va allaqachon muvaffaqiyatli spin-off shousini boshlagan) Buyuk gildersliv ) - Wistful Vista-ga o'z ishlarini davom ettirish uchun qaytib keldi. Uni tanitgan shou bilan xayrlashishda Gildersliv odatdagi ko'chki ostida ko'milishi uchun shkafni ochadi.

Hech bo'lmaganda bitta vaziyatda gagni ag'darib tashladilar va shkaf jim qoldi: "Insonning ishlatilmagan energiyalari" (1947 yil 11-mart kuni) da doktor Gamblga tashrif buyurish uchun ketish kerak. Molli ogohlantiradi: "Yo'q, doktor, u eshikdan emas, bu dahliz shkafi!" Tomoshabinlar kutib bir oz kulganlarida, Fibber tushuntiradi: "Oh, sizga aytishni unutib qo'ydim, Molli, men bugun ertalab dahliz shkafini to'g'rilab qo'ydim!" Bu, albatta, gagning tugashi emas edi, chunki shkaf yana tez orada yana bir marta tartibsizlikka aylanib, ko'plab ofatlarga olib keldi.

Ko'pgina savdo markalari singari, shkaf shkafi ham bir martalik kaskad sifatida boshlangan, ammo "shkaf" ortiqcha ishlatilmasdan ehtiyotkorlik bilan ishlab chiqilgan (u kamdan-kam hollarda ketma-ket ikki qismdan ko'proq ko'rinishda paydo bo'lgan, ammo u hech qachon bir xil uzunlikda yo'qolmagan, at the height of its identification, and it rarely collapsed at exactly the same time from show to show), and it became the best-known running sound gag in American radio's classic period. Jek Benni 's basement vault alarm ran a distant second. Both of these classic sound effects were performed by Ed Ludes and Virgil Rhymer, the Hollywood-based NBC staff sound effects creators. Aynan nima tumbled out of McGee's closet each time was never clear (except to these sound-effects men), but what signaled the end of the avalanche was always the same sound: a clear, tiny, household hand bell and McGee's inevitable post-collapse lament.^[7] "Fibber McGee's closet" entered the American vernacular as a catchphrase synonymous with household clutter.

Homiylar

Each episode also featured an appearance by announcer Harlow Wilcox, whose job it was to weave the second ad for the sponsor into the plot without having to break the show for a real commercial. Wilcox's introductory pitch lines were usually met with groans or humorously sarcastic lines by Fibber. During the many years that the show was sponsored by Jonson mumi, Fibber nicknamed Wilcox "Waxy", due to Wilcox's constant praises of their various products, and during the years the show was sponsored by Pet Milk, Fibber changed the nickname to "Milky". In a style not unusual for the classic radio years, the show was typically introduced as, "The Jonson mumi Program, with Fibber McGee and Molly". Johnson Wax sponsored the show through 1950; Pet Milk through 1952; and, until the show's final half-hour episode in mid-1953, Reynolds Aluminum. Fibber sometimes referred to Harlow as "Harpo".

The show also used two musical numbers per episode to break the comedy routines into sections. For most of the show's run, there would be one vocal number by The King's Men (a vocal quartet: Ken Darbi, Rad Robinson, Jon Dodson and Bud Linn), and an instrumental by The Billy Mills Orchestra. For a short time in the early 1940s, Martha Tilton would sing what was formerly the instrumental.

Oldin va davomida Amerika ning ishtiroki Ikkinchi jahon urushi, references to or about the war and the members of the Eksa kuchlari were commonplace on the show. Faqat keyin Yapon hujum qildi Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Jim Jordan, out of character, soberly ended the Fibber McGee show by inviting the studio audience to sing "Amerika ". During the show of December 9, the Mayor is seeking a globe in order to keep up with current events. Molly asks him, "Do you want one with Japan on it?" The mayor says, "Why, of course." "Then you better get one quick," Molly says, receiving thunderous applause from the studio audience.

Also commonplace were calls to action to buy urush zanjirlari (both through announcements and subtle references written into the script), and condemnation of food and supply to'plash. On the other hand, the Jordans gladly cooperated in turning the show over to a half-hour devoted entirely to patriotic music on the day of the Kun invasion in 1944, with the couple speaking only at the opening and the closing of the broadcast. This show remains available to collectors amidst many a Fibber McGee va Molly qadoqlash

When the shows were broadcast overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS), all three commercials were eliminated from the program. Harlow Wilcox's middle ad was edited out, and the two advertisements at the beginning and end of the show were replaced by musical numbers, so that the show on AFRS would have two numbers by Billy Mills and the Orchestra, and two by The King's Men.

The Jordans were experts at transforming the ethnic humor of vaudeville into more rounded comic characters, no doubt due in part to the affection felt for the famous supporting cast members who voiced these roles, including Bill Tompson (as the Old Timer and Wimple), Garold Piri (as Gildersleeve), Geyl Gordon (as La Trivia), Artur Q.Brayan (as Dr. Gamble; Bryan also voiced Elmer Fudd uchun Warner Brothers Luni Tunes cartoons, which also borrowed lines from Fibber McGee va Molly from time to time), Isabel Randolph (as Mrs. Uppington), Marlin Hurt (a white male who played in dialect the McGee's maid, Beulah), and others. They were also expert at their own running gags and catchphrases, many of which entered the American vernacular: "That ain't the way Men heeard it!"; "'T'ain't funny, McGee!" and "Heavenly days!" were the three best known.

Spin-offlar

Fibber McGee va Molly spun two supporting characters off into their own shows. By far the most successful and popular was Harold Peary's Gildersleeve, spun into Buyuk gildersliv 1941 yilda.^[21] This show introduced single parenthood of a sort to creative broadcasting: the pompous, previously married Gildersleeve now moved to Summerfield, became single (although the missing wife was never explained), and raised his orphaned, spirited niece and nephew, while dividing his time between running his manufacturing business and (eventually) becoming the town water commissioner.^[5] In one episode, the McGees arrived in Summerfield for a visit with their old neighbor with hilarious results: McGee inadvertently learns Gildersleeve is engaged, and he practically needs to be chloroformed to perpetuate the secret a little longer.

Peary returned the favor in a memorable 1944 Fibber McGee & Molly episode in which neither of the title characters appeared: Jim Jordan was recovering from a bout of pneumonia (this would be written into the show the following week, when the Jordans returned), and the story line involved Gildersleeve and nephew Leroy hoping to visit the McGees at home during a train layover in Wistful Vista, but finding Fibber and Molly not at home. At the end of the episode, Gildersleeve discovers the couple had left in a hurry that morning when they received Gildy's letter saying he would be stopping over in Wistful Vista.

Marlin Hurt's Beula was also spun off, leading to both a radio and television show that would eventually star Xetti MakDaniel va Ethel Waters.

Jim and Marian Jordan themselves occasionally appeared on other programs, away from their Fibber and Molly characters.^[8] One memorable episode of To'siq ("Backseat Driver", 02-03-1949) cast the Jordans as victims of a car-jacking; Jim Jordan's tense, interior monologues were especially dramatic.

Filmlar

The Jordans portrayed their characters in four movies. In the early years of the radio show, they were supporting characters in the 1937 Birlamchi film Iltimos,^[22] yulduzcha Charlz "Buddi" Rojers va Betti Grable. Once the show hit its stride, they had leading roles in the RKO Radio Rasmlari filmlar Kim kulayotganiga qarang (1941), Qani, yana boshladik (1942) va Samoviy kunlar (1944).

The first two RKO films are generally considered the best, as they co-star fellow radio stars Edgar Bergen va Charli Makkarti. Harold Peary also appears in both as Gildersleeve, with Arthur Q. Bryan, Bill Thompson, Harlow Wilcox, Gale Gordon, and Isabel Randolph appearing in both their show roles and as other characters. Bill Thompson in Kim kulayotganiga qarang played two parts: The pushy sales-man, and the man who shouted "It's Hillary Horton". Gale Gordon played Otis Cadwalader, Molly's ex-boyfriend in Qani, yana boshladik. Arthur Q. Bryan played the Mayor's aide in Kim kulayotganiga qarang. The Jordans' participation in Kim kulayotganiga qarang was set up in the Fibber McGee & Molly episode "Amusement Park" (6/17/41), in which Gale Gordon played an RKO pictures representative who followed the McGees around the amusement park and chose the McGees as a representative American couple to star in a movie with Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. The day before the film's real-life premiere in San Francisco, the movie had its fictional opening in Wistful Vista during that week's radio episode, and Bergen and McCarthy made a guest appearance ("Premiere of Look Who's Laughing" (11/11/41)).

Kim kulayotganiga qarang has been released on VHS and DVD as part of the Lucille Ball RKO Collection. Qani, yana boshladik has been released on VHS and was released on DVD on January 14, 2014, through Warner Archives. Samoviy kunlar was also included in the January 2014 DVD release of Qani, yana boshladik as part of a "double feature" DVD. Kim kulayotganiga qarang, Qani, yana boshladik va Samoviy kunlar xususiyati berilgan Tyorner klassik filmlari.

In addition to the feature films, the McGees appeared in character in the 1945 film The All-Star Bond Rally, urush majburiyatlari uchun reklama filmi. The characters appear as bookends to the film, attending a stage presentation hosted by Bob umid, who knows and recognizes them. The All-Star Bond Rally lapsed into the public domain in 1973 and is widely available.

Other films featured the McGees' neighbors. Birinchi film chaqirildi Tog'ni aylanib chiqing (1940) and featured the McGees' neighbors The Old-Timer (played by Bill Thompson) and Gildersleeve, as the mayor of the town. Gildersleeve's character was in many other films before Buyuk gildersliv show and movies. Abigail Uppington is in the film County Fair along with Harold Peary, and his future radio show co-star Shirley Mitchell (who also played Leila Ransom in Buyuk gildersliv); the Uppington character also appeared in Barnyard Follies.

O'zgarishlar

In 1953, Marian Jordan's periodic health problems necessitated the shortening of Fibber McGee va Molly into a nightly fifteen-minute program, recorded without a studio audience in single sessions, to enable her to rest. After these ended in 1956 (much as most other scripted radio shows were ending near the same time), the duo began appearing in five-minute shorts from 1957 to 1959 on the NBC's Monitor radio program as Just Molly and Me, switching to a ikki qo'lli format. Radio tarixchisi Gerald S. Nachman has written that the Jordans anticipated renewing their contract with NBC for another three years when Marian's battle against ovarian cancer ended with her death in 1961.

Televizor

Keti Lyuis as Molly McGee in 1959.

The Jordans, throughout their time on radio, had resisted bringing their show to television. "They were trying to push us into TV, and we were reluctant," Jim Jordan told an interviewer many years later. "Our friends advised us, 'Don't do it until you need to. You have this value in radio—milk it dry.'"

After the last of the Just Molly and Me radio shorts ceased production, there were two attempts at getting the McGees onto television. Only one came to fruition. The Fibber McGee va Molly TV series began production on March 15, 1959, for broadcast beginning in September 1959. Initial press releases stated that Jim Jordan, Jr. would be the director,^[23] but he became a consultant, along with the radio show's original creator, Don Quinn. The TV version was produced by Uilyam Asher for NBC (and co-sponsored by Singer korporatsiyasi va Standart brendlar ). Neither of the Jordans, nor Phil Leslie (the head writer by the end of the radio series), took part in the series. The decision was made to recast both roles, with younger actors Bob Suini va Keti Lyuis as Fibber and Molly respectively; Lewis had previously played Jane Stacy, a very similar straight-woman character, on the radio version of Mening do'stim Irma. Bill Davenport served as head writer for this series. The only radio alumnus to appear as a regular cast member was Garold Piri, who took the role of Mayor La Trivia.^[24]

The TV version's main asset was character comic Bob Sweeney, who caught the spirit and cadence of Jim Jordan's "Fibber" delivery, alternating between cheerful, boastful, and fretful. Veteran screen actor Addison Richards made a good foil as Doc Gamble. The series had solid comedy situations, and might have succeeded as a typical domestic comedy if the characters had been named anything lekin Fibber and Molly, but it couldn't replicate the flavor and humor of the original Fibber McGee va Molly. The TV series did not survive its first season, ending its run in January 1960. A pilot episode and at least three episodes of the television series have lapsed into the public domain.

The second TV venture only got as far as the planning stages.
