I'm sitting here listening to this in the small cottage house that my wife's grandfather had built in 1928, in which my FIL and his brother were both born, and that we now own, and I can only think that they were listening to this on the radio in my living room back in 1946...Thank you !
I've listened to over 1000 different F&M McGee shows, and find that some people give them thumbs down due to the quality, or lack of quality of the sound. Static interference. It was 1945. This was the first Christmas after World War 2. I'm sure it brought many comfort and a laugh.
i love fibber McGee n molly i love the static it makes it perfect hoe so many wonderful radios were back then plus staticy radios makes me feel so relaxed just love that sound my mom loved listening to the shows as a lil girl she did tell me her parents radio was very staticy and she loved i guess i inherited that awesome quality from her.
This recording was my dad’s favorite from when he was a kid. I had helped him search for it for years, and never found it. Now, 5 years after his passing, I find it. Thank you for posting this and helping me re-live childhood memories. Merry Christmas.

This was broadcasted on Christmas Eve in 1946.
Hope it adds some chuckles to your Christmas Eve.

I had the Capitol Records 78 RPM recording album they made (not live). It's posted, too.

so happy to have found this show! thank you!
This was the first classic radio show I ever heard. Still one of my favorites, along with The Whistler and Boston Blackie.
Now, honestly, tell me who in the hell gave this show a thumbs down ? Why did you listen to it then ?
