The Harold Peary Show, also known as Honest Harold or The Hal Peary Show, aired on CBS from September 17, 1950, to June 13, 1951. The radio sitcom featured Harold Peary as "Honest Harold" Hemp, the host of a radio show within the program called "The Happy Homemaker." Hemp's interactions with various characters, including his mother, nephew, marshal, doctor, switchboard operator, and girlfriends, provided the humor for the show.

After leaving The Great Gildersleeve on NBC, Peary's new show struggled with ratings, as it was considered too similar to his previous work. The series only lasted one season and was, at times, negatively reviewed. The cast included Gloria Holiday, Joseph Kearns, Mary Jane Croft, Parley Baer, and many others. Despite the show's shortcomings, director Norm MacDonnell went on to create highly successful radio programs like Gunsmoke and Fort Laramie.
