Premiering on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the title character from the McGees’ Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where Gildersleeve now oversaw his late brother-in-law’s estate and took on the rearing of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy Forester (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie. Curiously, while Gildersleeve had occasionally spoken of his (never-present) wife in some Fibber episodes, in his own series the character was a confirmed bachelor.
In a striking forerunner to such later television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings’ children, Gildersleeve was a bachelor raising two children while, at first, administering a girdle manufacturing company (“If you want a better corset, of course, it’s a Gildersleeve”) and then for the bulk of the show’s run, serving as Summerfield’s water commissioner, between time with the ladies and nights with the boys. The Great Gildersleeve may have been the first broadcast show to be centered on a single parent balancing child-rearing, work, and a social life, done with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve’s now slightly understated pomposity.
Many of the original episodes were co-written by John Whedon, father of Tom Whedon (who wrote The Golden Girls), and grandfather of Deadwood scripter Zack Whedon and Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog).
The key to the show was Peary, whose booming voice and facility with moans, groans, laughs, shudders and inflection was as close to body language and facial suggestion as a voice could get. Peary was so effective, and Gildersleeve became so familiar a character, that he was referenced and satirized periodically in other comedies and in a few cartoons.

At Emory university I had two French students visit. I assigned my beautiful work study student to show them around campus. The experience was super. I grew up with a French lady. One at ccx a time her children visited. I had such a crush on her son.

Tener el corazón roto no es una cosa de alegría, sabes. Mi esposa consiguió que me divorciara después de que me sorprendiera engañándola con mi ex amante. Estaba tan avergonzado y me sentí tan decepcionado de mí mismo. No podía soportar el hecho de que ya no tengo un compañero de vida, así que decidí intentar recuperar a mi esposa con todo lo que pudiera hacer, pero nada funcionó. No hasta que me remitieron al Dr. Akhigbe, quien hizo posible lo que pensaba que era imposible al traer de vuelta a mi esposa dentro de las 48 horas posteriores a mi contacto con él. Puedo decir con valentía y alegría que mi matrimonio está funcionando bien y más hermoso que antes y estoy muy feliz de haberme puesto en contacto con el Dr. Akhigbe porque es realmente un genio.Gracias a May Albert también por conectarme con el Dr. Akhigbe, si tiene algún problema sin importar cuán grande sea, el Dr. Akhigbe lo resolverá por usted.
