Debuting on June 24th, 1941, A Date With Judy was the teenage girl's answer to Archie Andrews and The Aldrich Family. Billed as the adventures of the “lovable teenage girl who's close to all our hearts,” it initially starred Ann Gillis in a summer replacement for Bob Hope. While filming at Paramount, Hope met Gillis and introduced her to his radio sponsors. They cast her in the adolescent comedy being prepared by writer Aleen Leslie. Leslie had come up through the Hollywood ranks working for Columbia Pictures, and writing for Deanna Durbin, Mickey Rooney, and Henry Aldrich films. Leslie wrote the lead with her friend Helen Mack in mind, but Mack was pregnant and declined. After the birth of her child. Mack came in as producer-director, the only woman to do so in a prime-time role at the time. In three summertime runs, two for Hope and one for Eddie Cantor, Judy was played by Gillis, Joan Lorring, and finally Louise Erickson. Erickson also played Marjorie on The Great Gildersleeve. In January of 1944, Judy was given a full-time run and Erickson held the role for the next six years. In July of 1944 the show was pulling a rating of 9.1 on NBC. On Independence Day at 8:30PM, an overheard election mixup causes comedic embarrassment for Judy's father.

Join us this Saturday on Vintage Classic Radio for another exciting "Saturday Matinee" packed with three classic radio shows. We start with "The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show" and the episode called “Keeping Regular Office Hours." Airing back on September 25, 1949, this funny episode shows Phil Harris trying to stick to a regular work schedule after his sponsor tells him he must, leading to lots of laughs. You'll hear Phil Harris playing himself, Alice Faye as his wife, along with other characters like Frankie Remley, Julius, and Willie played by Elliott Lewis, Walter Tetley, and Robert North respectively. Next, we switch to "The Great Gildersleeve" for the episode titled "Fortune Teller," which first aired on March 1, 1942. In this episode, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, who's usually skeptical, visits a fortune teller and gets surprised when her predictions start coming true, causing all sorts of funny mix-ups. The episode features Harold Peary as Gildersleeve, with Lillian Randolph, Walter Tetley, and Louise Erickson playing the roles of Birdie, Leroy, and Marjorie. We wrap up with "Lux Radio Theatre" and the episode "Goodbye My Fancy" from January 14, 1952. This episode tells the story of Agatha Reed, played by Barbara Stanwyck, a congresswoman who goes back to her old college to get an honorary degree and ends up dealing with past love and current challenges. Robert Young plays her old flame, Professor James Merrill. Make sure to tune in for a mix of laughter, mystery, and drama as we bring these timeless stories back to life. It's a great way to spend your Saturday afternoon enjoying the unique charm and wit of these classic shows.

If you'd have tuned your radio to NBC's New York flagship, WEAF, at 7:30 PM on Tuesday February 8th, 1944 you'd have heard Ronald Coleman host the Autolite Sponsored, Everything For the Boys. The guest star was Greer Garson. NBC owned the ratings on Tuesdays with six of the top seven shows. Opposite of Everything For The Boys, CBS ran a concert, WOR-Mutual ran news, and WJZ of the Blue Network ran The Girl Back Home. “Barkley Square” is a fantasy play about a man who desires so much to go back in time that he somehow achieves it. At 8:00PM, The Ginny Simms Show took to the air. That month, the show's rating was 14.6. Roughly eleven million people tuned in. Opposite, CBS aired Big Town, WOR aired The Black Castle, while WJZ aired news. At 8:30 NBC aired A Date With Judy, a female-driven situation comedy starring Louise Erickson. Opposite CBS ran The Judy Canova Show, while WJZ aired Duffy's Tavern and WOR ran the quiz show, Battle of the Boroughs. This was the most competitive time slot as far as ratings went. In February A Date With Judy pulled a 9.6, while The Judy Canova Show pulled a 12.6, and Duffy's Tavern had a 14.6. Louise Erickson was three weeks shy of her sixteenth birthday. She held the role until 1949. The series was popular enough that, in response, CBS developed Meet Corliss Archer. After The Molle Mystery Theater aired at 9 PM, the three top-rated shows on radio aired in succession, beginning with the just-heard Jim Jordan co-starring in Fibber McGee and Molly. The February 8th episode was called “Homemade Ice Cream” and had a rating of 35.7. More than twenty-seven million people tuned in. After Fibber McGee and Molly signed off, Bob Hope's Pepsodent Program signed on at 10PM.

Enjoy two free comedy episodes of The Great Gildersleeve A) 4/25/43 Raising Rabbits w/ Hal Peary B) 8/29/43 Vacation at Grass Lake w/ Hal Peary Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve was a popular character appearing regularly on The Fibber McGee & Molly Show.  On August 31, 1941, the character landed his own situation comedy show, The Great Gildersleeve, becoming radio's first spin-off.  Gildy moved from the town of Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where he raised his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie (Lillian Randolph).  The Great Gildersleeve was the first show to be centered on a single parent balancing raising children, work, and a social life, accomplished with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's slightly understated pomposity. Radio veteran, Hal Peary originated the role of Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve but left the series at the height of its popularity in 1950 giving way to Peary-sound-a-like and well-known character actor, Willard Waterman. Waterman continued in the radio role until 1957 and also played Gildersleeve in a TV version syndicated in 1955.
