Easy Aces, a long-running American serial radio comedy (1930-1945), was trademarked by the low-keyed drollery of creator and writer Goodman Ace and his wife, Jane, as an urbane, put-upon realtor and his malaprop-prone wife. A fifteen-minute program, airing as often as three times a week, Easy Aces wasn't quite the ratings smash that such concurrent fifteen-minute serial comedies as Amos 'n' Andy, The Goldbergs, or Vic and Sade were. But its unobtrusive, conversational, and clever style, and the cheerful absurdism of its storylines, built a loyal enough audience of listeners and critics alike to keep it on the air for fifteen years.
