Comedy takes something mundane and ordinary and turns it into a masterpiece of hilarity and humor. No classic radio show did this better than “The Aldrich Family.” Spotlighting the adolescent escapades of young Henry and the hijinks that ensued from simple things like a bicycle’s flat tire or an overdue library book. The Aldrich Family features as rich and colorful a cast as any show could. From Alice to Sam, Henry’s father to Homer Brown, Henry’s usual partner in confusion to Kathleen Anderson, Henry’s sweetheart, and his arch nemesis George Bigelow. Each character was distinct and had a life beyond the gags and jokes, making this show both real and larger than life at the same time. Restored to sparkling audio quality, The Aldrich Family is golden age comedy at its best!
