Cecil And Sally 278 Episodes
Cecil and Sally was one of radio’s earliest and most charming daily comedy serials, offering listeners a lighthearted blend of romance, domestic mishaps, and playful humor. Originating in the mid1920s—at the very dawn of commercial radio—the show quickly became a favorite thanks to its relatable characters and breezy storytelling.
The series centered on the everyday ups and downs of young sweethearts Cecil and Sally, whose banter, misunderstandings, and gentle flirtation created a warm, intimate style of comedy. Rather than big slapstick or wild situations, the program thrived on personality driven humor and the simple joys and frustrations of early married life.
The Stars
A unique feature of Cecil and Sally was that both main characters were voiced by the same performer:
Blanche Wilkins (also known as Blanche Wilkins Russell) voiced both Cecil and Sally, showcasing remarkable vocal versatility and timing.
Her ability to carry an entire show on her own gave the program a distinctive sound and helped define its intimate, conversational tone.
Key Dates
Debut: Around 1926
Networks: Initial broadcasts through KFRC in San Francisco, later syndicated nationally
Run: Late 1920s through early 1930s in various forms

Originally created as a local West Coast program, it soon grew popular enough to be transcribed and syndicated across the United States—a pioneering model for early network style distribution.
Other Information
Cecil and Sally was one of the first scripted comedy serials to achieve national reach, predating many of the more famous radio couples who appeared in the 1930s and 1940s. The show’s short episodes—typically around 5 to 7 minutes—made it ideal for daily broadcasts and easy listening.
The gentle humor and charming slice of life storytelling helped establish many of the tropes later used in big name domestic sitcoms. Although many episodes have been lost due to the era’s limited recording technology, the surviving episodes offer a delightful window into early radio comedy.
Today, Cecil and Sally is appreciated as a historical gem—an early example of how character driven radio could captivate audiences long before the golden age of OTR fully took shape.
