Lum And Abner 1700 Episodes
Lum and Abner was one of the most beloved small-town comedy series of the golden age of radio, delighting audiences with its gentle humor, homespun wisdom, and eccentric characters. Set in the fictional community of Pine Ridge, Arkansas, the show followed the misadventures of Lum Edwards and Abner Peabody, two well-meaning but bumbling proprietors of the Jot ’Em Down Store. With their thick rural dialects, slow-paced storytelling, and knack for comic misunderstandings, Lum and Abner brought the charm of country life into millions of American homes.
Warm, folksy, and consistently funny, Lum and Abner was a rural comedy classic that ran for over two decades, building a loyal national audience.
The Stars
The show was created, written, and performed by Chester Lauck (as Lum Edwards) and Norris “Tuffy” Goff (as Abner Peabody). The duo, who were childhood friends from Mena, Arkansas, not only voiced the main characters but also played many of the other Pine Ridge townsfolk, including:
Grandpappy Spears, the oldest man in town
Squire Skimp, the conniving local schemer
Mousey Gray, the perpetually nervous citizen
Their ability to create a full cast of quirky small-town characters made the program a true showcase of comedic versatility.
Key Dates
• Lum and Abner premiered on NBC Radio on June 29, 1931, as a 15-minute program.
• The show aired on various networks (NBC, CBS, and Mutual) throughout its long run.
• It continued until 1954, producing thousands of episodes, many of which have survived.
Other Information
The success of Lum and Abner extended beyond radio: the town of Waters, Arkansas, was renamed Pine Ridge in honor of the show, and the duo starred in a series of motion pictures during the 1940s.
Episodes often revolved around Lum and Abner’s attempts to run their general store, their interactions with neighbors, or their get-rich-quick schemes that inevitably went awry. The humor was gentle, character-driven, and rooted in the rhythms of rural life.
While other comedies relied on rapid-fire jokes, Lum and Abner charmed listeners with its leisurely pace, colorful dialects, and affectionate portrayal of small-town America. It became particularly popular during the Depression and World War II, offering comfort and laughter in difficult times.
Today, Lum and Abner is remembered as one of the finest rural comedies in radio history—a series that captured the heart of small-town America and continues to delight collectors with its timeless humor.
