Great Gildersleeve, Volume 8 - audiobook

Volume 8! The Great Gildersleeve is not only a fantastic comedy, but it's also a fascinating study in how a character can evolve. Originally, Gildy was created simply as a comic foil on Fibber McGee and Molly. To give him a reason to move, however, writer Leonard Levinson gave Gildy a suddenly deceased brother who had two children in Summerfield. But this sudden transition to being caregiver and family man didn't happen overnight. Over the years, Gildy becomes less pompous and garrulous, less self-centered, and more focused on not only providing for Leroy and Marjorie, but being a part of something beyond his own front yard. Visit Summerfield and laugh with and at The Great Gildersleeve in the 12 original broadcasts in this collection, restored to sparkling digital quality and presented as they were originally aired.
