My Favorite Husband began as a radio sitcom on CBS Radio. The show starred Lucille Ball and Richard Denning as Liz and George Cooper (Liz and George Cugat in early episodes). The couple lived at 321 Bundy Drive in the ficticious city of Sheridan Falls, and were billed as "two people who live together and like it." The main sponsor was Jell-O, and an average of 3 "plugs" for Jell-O were made in each episode. The program ran from 1948 through 1951, throughout which 124 episodes were aired.

A wonderful show. The only thing that would make it better would be if they had made more episodes.

Some talented person has made a cartoon of the 1949 Christmas episode of "My Favorite Husband":

The animation is actually superior to that of some of the kid's shows they make for TV.

Subject: Love the show; Error in the listings
I love MFH, and this is a great repository.

However, the episode titled "Liz Has Her Fortune Told" is actually "Liz Has Her Portrait Painted".

As far as I know, "Liz Has Her Fortune Told" is one of the few episodes for which no audio currently exists on the 'net, unfortunately.

Why does this zip file only have one show in it? Hopefully they will get this fixed so that all episodes can be downloaded at once!!

Subject: No Ethel, Fred or Ricky but still interesting in its own way
Some of these shows are almost to the word the same as the later TV show "I Love Lucy". About half of the shows have the same plots as the TV show. The TV show is an improvement over this show as the husband in this series was kind of dull and worked at a bank, unlike Ricky Ricardo, and in this show they lived in a house instead of an apartment building and for some reason had a maid even though there were no kids. But it's really interesting to see this early rendition of "I Love Lucy" before TV came onto the scene.

I've only listened to two broadcasts so far, But I enjoyed both of them. This radio series was later turned into the popular TV series "I Love Lucy". Very enjoyable if you liked that TV series, and a great way to introduce somebody to Old Time Radio.
