- (Radio Series) "Easy Aces," a domestic comedy Goody created and wrote. He and wife Jane also acted in the series portraying themselves. The 15-minute series ran from 1928 to 1945. Originally produced in Kansas City, it moved to Chicago in 1931, then to New York City in 1933. In 1948, he reworked several old scripts into a 30-minute format. The new series, titled "Mr. Ace and Jane," ran less than a year, but it led to the 1949 TV series, of which Goody was also the creator and sole writer. All incarnations of the series were famous for Jane's malapropisms which seemed spontaneous, but which Goody painstakingly crafted. Examples: "I was up at the crank of dawn." "He's a ragged individuallist." "Home wasn't built in a day."
