According to Mr. Colby, played by Hal Smith, and Mr. Ziffel, played by Hank Patterson, the radio program "Myrt and Marge" supposedly replaced another radio show: "The Great Gildersleeve," which originally aired on the NBC radio network between 1941 and 1958. Harold Peary played the title role. Between 1940 and 1944, there were at least 9 feature-length films made in which the Gildersleeve character appears, the first being Comin' Round the Mountain (1940) and the last being Gildersleeve's Ghost (1944). Harold Peary also played the Gildersleeve character in those movies.
