From Wikipedia: "Easy Aces is an American serial radio comedy (1930-1945). It was trademarked by the low-keyed drollery of creator and writer Goodman Ace and his wife, Jane, as an urbane, put-upon realtor and his malaprop-prone wife. A 15-minute program, airing as often as five time a week, Easy Aces did not draw as strong ratings as other 15-minute serial comedies such as Amos 'n' Andy, The Goldbergs, Lum and Abner, or Vic and Sade but its unobtrusive, conversational, and clever style, and the cheerful absurdism of its storylines, built a loyal enough audience of listeners and critics alike to keep it on the air for 15 years."
The show was adapted for television to a 15-minute program on the Dumont Network, running from December 14, 1949 to June 7, 1950. (In 1956, Goodman Ace apparently intended to revive the show, this time starring Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams; nothing came of it.)
Only three episodes of the Dumont show are known to exist, one at the Library of Congress. The episode below is the only known full episode, and this is missing the credits.
Enjoy.
