About this episode
Originally Aired: March 2, 1943 Fibber McGee & Molly #354, "Breakfast In Bed For Molly," Fibber McGee decides to prove his domestic prowess by preparing breakfast in bed for Molly, despite her protestations that he's never made a waffle in his life. As Molly lounges upstairs calling out instructions about where to find oranges and cookbooks, Fibber tackles the kitchen with characteristic overconfidence. His culinary adventure quickly becomes a comedy of errors as he wrestles with confusing cookbook instructions from Henrietta Lewis, tries to understand what "sifted cake" means, and misinterprets "tartrate or phosphate" as baking soda. He even answers the phone to tell poor Pete that Geraldine wants nothing more to do with him. The chaos escalates when Fibber gets thrown flat on his back after shutting the refrigerator door on his bathrobe tassel. Undeterred by the mishap or Molly's growing concern from the living room sofa, Fibber remains determined to deliver those promised golden brown waffles, orange juice, eggs, and coffee, insisting that Molly deserves this special treatment for being "a good kid."
