What happens
Bronco Gildersleeve forgets that today is the anniversary of his first date with Marjorie, and the Great Gildersleeve sets out to remind him before she notices. Gildersleeve and Bronco are the main characters, with Marjorie, Birdie and Judge Hooker also involved. The episode is from The Great Gildersleeve, first broadcast on NBC on October 17, 1951, with Harold Peary and Willard Waterman in the lead roles. Gildersleeve runs through town looking for his nephew, and the confusion over which date is the anniversary grows through the day.
The town of Summerfield, at the Gildersleeve house and around town during a single day in the fall.
Characters: Great Gildersleeve, Bronco, Marjorie, Birdie, Judge Hooker, Leroy, Uncle Mort, Mr. Peavy
Listen for: Gildersleeve's frantic search for Bronco and the confusion over whether the anniversary falls on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
