SPERDVAC premieres an exclusive new set of over 130 recordings restored from original transcription disks – the NBC comedy-drama serial “Those Happy Gilmans,” which was broadcast nationally on the NBC Red Network from August 22, 1938 to May 19, 1939.
The show was structured around the lighthearted, down-to-earth daily life of the Gilman household. Unlike high-melodrama soap operas of the era, Those Happy Gilmans leaned heavily into warm family humor and relatable domestic situations. Contemporary promotional profiles described the show as focusing on “ordinary people doing ordinary things,” blending small family crises with humor and heart.
SPERDVAC President Corey Harker has painstakingly transferred the original disks for our members’ enjoyment. You’ll find them in the audio library or by looking at “LATEST AUDIO ADDITIONS”
