Jim and Marian Jordan played Fibber McGee and his wife Molly in this hilarious domestic comedy. It was written and created by Don Quinn who had also written Smackout. It was a very popular show with over 700 episodes being broadcast. The prop best remembered from the show was probably McGee’s junk-filled closet, which always crashed down on anyone that happened to open the door. It was a very patriotic show with a whole run of shows with homefront themes.
