My Favorite Husband


(3.8 stars; 2 reviews)

My Favorite Husband was a radio sitcom that starred Richard Denning and Lucille Ball as Mr. and Mrs. Cugat (in the early part of the series). With Jell-O as the show's main sponsor, at least three "plugs" for such product were made every episode, one from Ball's introductory line "Jell-O everybody!" From its debut in 1948 on CBS Radio, to its last episode in 1951, the show was able to produce a total of 124 episodes. In My Favorite Husband, initially, Mr. Cugat was characterized as a rich banker, and his wife Mrs. Cugat was socially prominent figure. In the latter part of the series, when new writers were employed in the show, the Cugats were made into a middle class couple, thinking listeners could better relate to them.
