Fibber Mcgee & Molly Christmas 1942 

This is just one of the comedic teams my parents, born in 1898 and 1902, used to talk about with great fondness, especially my father! Edgar Bergen and Mortimer Snerd was another.

Sept 2021. Hot in Chicago. 88f with humidity. 79 years later. They are still THE coolest radio show ever. 📻 ever. -Only Garfield Goose is 2/5th as cool. 📺 M. Illinois

Absolutely love this program takes me back to days with my grandfather

I like looking at the radios used in these pictures this is a zenith maybe 1935 The next one Christmas of 1943 is an RCA Victor that was probably made 5 years prior, 1938 or so? My grandmother Mildred Watts Riley Scent/ had the zenith in the kitchen then my uncle gave her the victor after he got out of the army, working at standard oil/ now bp Amaco.

Fibber's $15.00 may not sound like a lot, until you realize that in today's money (November, 2020) that $15.00 is worth $231.35.

Fibber and Great Gildersleeve are my favorite old shows. I always wonder how much wax the Johnson company sold. 😊
