The
Aldrich Family as a separate radio show was born as a summer replacement for
Jack Benny in NBC's Sunday night lineup, July 2, 1939, and it stayed there
until October 1, 1939, when it moved to Tuesday nights at 8 p.m., sponsored by
General Foods's popular gelatin dessert Jell-O---which also sponsored Jack
Benny at the time. The Aldriches ran in that slot from October 10, 1939 until
May 28, 1940, moving to Thursdays, from July 4, 1940 until July 20, 1944. After
a brief hiatus, the show moved to CBS, running on Fridays from September 1,
1944 until August 30, 1946 with sponsors Grape Nuts and Jell-O,.before moving
back to NBC from September 05, 1946 to June 28, 1951 on Thursdays and, then,
its final run of September 21, 1952 to April 19, 1953 on Sundays.
