  • Wilbur? What about Mister Ed?

  • Waterman later claimed that the producer [who later became the executive producer of "KOJAK" in the '70s], who had nothing to do with the original radio version, didn't really understand Gildersleeve's character, and tried to turn him into a "ladies' man"...which was the exact OPPOSITE of what "Gildy" was on radio. This episode, "Gildy Stews About A Cook", was initially syndicated to most stations in December 1955.

  • Actually, the title of the program is "THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE", adapted from the radio program of the same name (starring Williard Waterman, who played "Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve" from 1950 through '56). Unfortunately, the TV adaptation wasn't as successful. It was supposed to appear on NBC [who carried the radio series] as early as 1954 {the pilot episode did}, but instead decided to syndicate the 39 episodes that were produced, for the 1955-'56 season.
