Hey, Kristi, thanks for sharing that. I am also a fan of OTR and have listened to many "Fibber McGee and Molly" episodes, but I've never heard those two. It's possible that Harvey Bullock intentionally "borrowed" from "Fibber" to create "The Pickle Story," but it's also possible that he had heard these "Fibber" episodes, say, twenty years before he wrote the script and came up with these ideas, not realizing that they originated in his memories of these radio programs. Since "Fibber McGee and Molly" was such a popular and long-running radio show, it's very likely that Mr. Bullock did listen to it. It's something interesting to consider, anyway.
