Fibber McGee and Molly premiered on NBC April 16, 1935. Almost all stories took place at the McGee's Home 79 Wistful Vista. The show existed in world where money was never and issue and the McGees never had jobs. With blowhard McGee wavering between mundane tasks and hare-brained schemes, antagonizing as many people as possible, and patient Molly indulging his foibles and providing loving support, not to mention a tireless parade of neighbors and friends in and out of the quiet home, Fibber McGee and Molly built its audience steadily, but once it found the full volume of that audience in 1940, they rarely let go of it.
