A master of wordplay was responsible for the excellent scripts. The Colemans are mustard in their parts. Although in the first episodes you begin to wonder if toddy is suffering from some old folks type mental illness when he drifts off remembering when he first met Victoria. There is a certain charm about this series and it is a notch above most others. Highly recommended and highly praised. Intellectually satisfying- if that is what you are looking for.
Why Aren't There More?

This is one of the series that - now that I've listened to all the episodes - I will really miss! I wasn't a big listener to radio shows as a child. Since discovering this site, I usually listen to OTR series on my smartphone in the evening to wind down before going to sleep. I've discovered many new and entertaining series along the way, but this light-hearted comedy has to be one of my all-time favorites. Maybe it's the whimsical escape back to simpler times, when character really counted and a pinch of common sense went a long way...? Thanks for bringing my attention to this wonderful series!
Professor Hall and wife are great

This is one of my favorite radio programs of all time! I have loved old radio shows since I first heard the Lone Ranger on the radio with my grandpa brought to the airwaves by General Mills cereal as a boy of seven years old & am so glad so many are still available to listen to today!
