My Favorite Husband began as a radio sitcom on CBS Radio. The show starred Lucille Ball and Richard Denning as Liz and George Cooper (Liz and George Cugat in early episodes). The couple lived at 321 Bundy Drive in the ficticious city of Sheridan Falls, and were billed as "two people who live together and like it." The main sponsor was Jell-O, and an average of 3 "plugs" for Jell-O were made in each episode. The program ran from 1948 through 1951, throughout which 124 episodes were aired.

This was the precursor of TV's I Love Lucy with Desi Arnaz, her real life husband, as Lucy's TV husband. The network wanted to keep Denning as her husband, but Lucy Wanted Desi and the rest is history!
