The Great Gildersleeve - May 11, 1949 - Gildy's Millionaire Friend

Gildy becomes jealous when his wealthy friend hits it off with Gildy's girlfriend.

There's a commercial announcement at the beginning of the show telling the audience they can now buy Parkay margarine in yellow sticks. That may sound like an odd announcement, but for many years, the dairy lobby had gotten laws passed that forced margarine to be colored pink, to emphasize that it wasn't butter. Those laws were being repealed in many places by the late '40s.
