The show failed to gain any measure of an audience in its lone season. Its failure was much discussed at the time and was attributed to several factors. Willard Waterman was considered excellent as the new Gildersleeve, .and in Honest Harold Peary seemed to be ganging onto too many Gildersleeve elements. Peary had professed boredom with the role but.. had emerged on the rival network with a strong sound-alike, complete with the famous "dirty laugh. "
