The Harold Peary Show is an American radio situation comedy program, which followed the life of an older, unmarried man named Honest Harold Hemp. He lived with his mother and nephew, while hosting a radio homemakers program on the fictional radio station. The show was characterized by Peary's unique voice and witty humor, which garnered a following among its listeners. However, it often faced criticism for its similarity to Peary's previous show, The Great Gildersleeve, which makes it difficult for the show to escape its predecessor's shadow.

The Harold Peary Show aired from September 17, 1950, to June 13, 1951, on CBS. It was created and performed by Harold Peary, who also starred in The Great Gildersleeve. The show's regular cast included Peary's wife, Gloria Holiday, Joseph Kearns, Mary Jane Croft, and Parley Baer, with Bob Lamond as the announcer. Despite its talented cast, the show struggled with ratings and negative reviews, leading to its eventual cancellation after just one season. Some of the last episodes were sponsored by the US Armed Forces, but the majority of the series went without a sponsor. The show's director, Norm MacDonnell, later went on to create renowned old-time radio shows like Gunsmoke and Fort Laramie.

Performers: Harold Peary, Gloria Holiday, Joseph Kearns, Mary Jane Croft, Parley Baer
