Leroy and Gildersleeve trade pointed remarks about the boarder and the meals each gets. The episode is a 1953 broadcast on NBC, starring Willard Waterman in the title role.
The Gildersleeve household in the town of Summerfield, and Peavey's pharmacy.

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.
