My Favorite Husband, Vol. 1

Classic Radio Collection

De: Hollywood 360, CBS Radio

Narrado por: Lucille Ball, Richard Denning

My Favorite Husband hit the CBS Radio airwaves in 1948, starring Lucille Ball and Richard Denning as Liz and George Cugat - who later became Liz and George Cooper when confusion with bandleader Xavier Cugat prompted a name change. Set in the fictitious town of Sheridan Falls, the show follows the happily married couple, residents of 321 Bundy Drive, through mischief and various predicaments, from faked illnesses to trouble with exes. George, a banker, and Liz, a housewife, were billed as "two people who live together and like it." The beloved series eventually transitioned to television in 1953, recast with Joan Caulfield and Barry Nelson, as Lucille Ball was busy filming the megahit I Love Lucy with her real-life husband Desi Arnaz.

Episodes include "The Quiz Show", "Katy and Roscoe", "Piano and Violin Lessons", "April Fool's Day", "Liz and George Reminisce", "The Surprise Halloween Party", "Vacation Time", "Learning to Drive", "Selling Dresses", and "George Is Messy".

Highly recommend for a good laugh

I had an audio cd from a Lucille ball book. I got it for Christmas in the 90s. I loved listening to it it had two episodes of my favorite husband on it. I would listen to a lot as a kid. Now as an adult I found this on audible I was in awe and so excited. I laughed so hard at all of these if you love Lucy you will love this radio show!

Pedestrian humor.

Lucy will always be a tv icon, but on radio she comes across as a bit boring and shrill in her delivery. Desi Arnaz was better as her husband on I Love Lucy.

great listen. old time radio classic

love old time radio! lucille ball is funny from radio to tv. recommended for all ages.

I still love Lucy

A 12 episode radio comedy which preceded her television show. interesting to note the first couple of. shows had the couple named Cogat then changed. The scripts were written by future I love Lucy writing team. delightful way to enjoy a commute or bedtime while winding down.

Lucy is so good!

I'm completely new to this show and not very familiar with Lucy before "I Love Lucy". But seems like all the trademarks of I Love Lucy are present. Lucy is brilliant. It's great when you can hear that the cast is having so much fun they can't deliver their lines straight.

Pure family entertainment!

I am a fan of I love Lucy reruns, so I was thrilled to learn of the show that started it all, and that there were episodes available to the public. I enjoyed this, also, because it's entertainment without thecursing, sex, violence, etc., which is refreshing. I would love for the rest of episodes to be made available, as well!

I miss Lucy

In these crazy times what a pleasure to enjoy some honest humor. Forget the stereo types and remember the age of when this was done. Enjoy the humor and crazy fun delivered by all this fine talent!

More Context Would be Helpful

As this series did recycle scripts, it would be helpful for the producers to provide the air dates and all of the titles included in such a compilation.

so much fun!

I listened while working and it made my day so much nicer! I'm going to look for more.

Lucille Ball Never Disappoints

This show does mirror I Love Lucy a lot it almost seems like they do share some of the same scripts even but I absolutely love this one because I don’t have to watch it. I can turn it on and listen to Lucille Ball, which is one of my favorite actresses of all time while I’m cleaning while I’m doing my work out etc. I highly recommend the show to anybody who is a fan of I love Lucy or Lucille Ball
