The Charlotte Greenwood Show: Programme Guide.
Charlotte Greenwood’s practical good sense meets the complications of a busy household. Her radio comedy finds humour in obligations, misunderstandings and the effort to help without making matters worse.
Broadcast history.
The programme began as a 1944 summer replacement for Bob Hope, then continued in a Hallmark-sponsored presentation through early 1946. The initial reporter setting and later family situation belong to different phases.
Cast and creative team.
Greenwood leads. Contemporary trade reporting names John Guedel’s production and performers including Shirley Mitchell, Arthur Q. Bryan, Bea Benaderet and Pat McGeehan for the original package. The supporting roles should be checked against the individual phase.
Where to begin.
Thanksgiving Without Turkey · How Children's Parents Met
These available recordings offer an introduction to this collection. Their current publication dates are separate from historical broadcast dates.
An interesting detail.
A continuing star does not guarantee a completely unchanged premise. The shift into Aunt Charlotte’s household gives later editions a domestic frame different from the first newspaper-based situation.
Listening appeal.
Try Thanksgiving Without Turkey or How Children’s Parents Met. Each offers a separate comic problem within the later family setting.
Collection and date notes.
HRV lists 63 public recordings. The sixty-three records preserve available editions without assigning one supporting cast uniformly to all of them. Current podcast dates describe later archive publication, separately from original broadcast dates.
