My late grandparents used to talk about old radio shows, and my uncle downloaded almost all of the Fibber Mcgee and Molly episodes. I'd fall asleep listening to them when I was about seven. I still listen to them now. Fibber McGee and Molly holds a lot of wonderful memories for me.

Just crawling around in the wake of the loss of George Carlin. He was damned funny. I had to remind myself of a few other comedic heroes, and Jim and Marion were the best.

Anyone remember Molly's bread and butter pickles? They turned this into something funnier than imaginable.

An 80-year-old client of mine told me today that she had a "Fibber McGee" closet. Now I know exactly what she meant.  One of those closets that are stuffed so much that when you open the door everything falls out! I think I have a couple of those, too. :)

Can anyone explain why so many episodes are at the wrong speed on the old time radio sites? I had to fix them in my audio editor by slowing them down at least 2 - 4% . Made them much more enjoyable to listen to and understand.

@Mombuck He did, in one episode where he was really hyper and started doing chores simply because it kept him busy. They set up the gag, nothing happens, and McGee says he cleaned out the closet.

If you want the world's best source of Old Time Radio shows try RUSC online. Ned has thousands, including Fibber McGee Episode 1, and adds new shows six days a week. I listen to them every day. Love 'em! RadioMickDanger has wonderful stuff, too.

I'm an over the road truck driver. But when I was a small child I'd hear my grandparents and older aunts and uncle's talk about The Fibber McGee and Molly show on radio back in their day. Well when I got a Sirius Satilite Radio from my wife and kids a few years ago, I was able to listen to their old programs. And I got to say.......boy did my generation miss out on something great. Todays entertainers will never measure up to old time radio.
