Fibber McGee and Molly was a long-running situation comedy (1935-1954) and is actually often credited with creating the "situation comedy." Oddly enough, there was indeed some sort of situation that acted as a loose plot device, but the best part of this show week in and week out was the interplay between Fibber and large cast of characters that visited him and Molly each week. This episode is centered on renting the McGee's spare room to a war worker. Interesting to hear the historical context here.
