 Neither of the Jordans, nor Phil Leslie (the head writer by the end of the radio series), took part in the series.The decision was made to recast both roles, with younger actors Bob Sweeney and Cathy Lewis as Fibber and Molly respectively; Lewis had previously played Jane Stacy, a very similar straight-woman character, on the radio version of "My Friend Irma".Bill Davenport served as head writer for this series.
