The Great Gildersleeve - Single Episodes


(4 étoiles; 10 critiques)

The Great Gildersleeve is a beloved radio situation comedy that aired from August 31, 1941, to March 21, 1957. The series centers around Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, a character who originally appeared in the radio show Fibber McGee and Molly. Gildersleeve, portrayed by Harold Peary, became a household name as he transitioned from a supporting role to the star of his own show.

Set in the fictional town of Summerfield, Gildersleeve navigates life as a bachelor, overseeing his late brother-in-law's estate while raising his niece and nephew, Marjorie and Leroy. The show features a rich cast of characters, including the lovable cook Birdie, and explores Gildersleeve's humorous interactions with friends and neighbors.

Throughout its run, The Great Gildersleeve captured the hearts of audiences with its witty writing and memorable catchphrases, making it one of the earliest spin-off programs in broadcast history.

Critiques

A classic comedy based on a mostly unlikable main character.


(4 étoiles)

There is no doubt that this show is considered a classic old-time radio comedy, and is, indeed, funny for the most part. However, I have one main objection to the show, and that is the character of The Great Gildersleeve, himself. He is portrayed as being a pompous, self-centered goldbricker (he avoids doing as much work as possible at his job); a "womanizer" who is apparently still a virgin in his forties (he never gets beyond fleeting kisses) who studiously tries to avoid any sort of full-time commitment (such as marriage); somewhat of a con artist; and a man of relatively little intellect who feels just the opposite about himself. I've listened to the entire series over the years, and have found it relatively enjoyable, but have really never warmed to Throckmorton.

Not how I remember it


(2 étoiles)

I was a fan of the show as a child and youth. However, rediscovering the show all these years later is a very disappointing experience. It’s an awful show and Gildersleeve is an especially awful character. Peavy's "Oh, I wouldn’t say that" is the only funny bit in the whole enterprise.

OTRR certified what? (again)


The_Great_Gildersleeve_51-03-21_398_Bronco_Tries_to_Run_the_House.mp3 is actually an episode of The Harold Peary Show, so the real March 21, 1951 episode of The Great Gildersleeve is missing from this allegedy "accurate" set

The First Spinoff


(4 étoiles)

The Gildy character began on the Fibber McGee show, but was so popular, he got his own sit-com. More familial, less jokey than its origin, it still has a warmth common to the era. I went through getting to like it in the '60s old time radio repeats shows, then loved it. Today, I rarely stop by here, but the script and acting qualities remain. I give it 4 stars based on those factors and its longevity. By the way, Peary was a fine man too, visiting servicemen in hospitals for years. Plus, when he lost the show and character and had "Honest Harold" fail after one season, he was never bitter. May his memory live in all who stop by here!
