Honest Harold was a situation comedy broadcast from 1950 to 1951 on CBS. Harold Peary created and played the role Harold Hemp. Kathryn Card starred as his mother Emily. Gloria, Harold's girlfriend, was played by Gloria Holiday. Parley Baer portrayed the marshal, Harold's friend. Joseph Kearns was the old Doc "Yak Yak" Yancy. After Harold Peary departed from The Great Gildersleeve, he helped produce a new show Honest Harold. The show never reached the recognition and popularity Peary expected even though its production was as good as The Great Gildersleeve. The writing was witty and funny while the characters and the supporting cast were very well developed. In fact, Honest Harold was directed by one of most celebrated radio men, Norman Macdonnell who later directed Gunsmoke.
