<Li> Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve (Harold Peary)--the pompous next - door neighbor with whom Fibber enjoyed twitting and arguing . Introduced in 1939 . Harold Peary actually portrayed several Gildersleeve characters before the appearance of Throckmorton . On Feb 21 (Ep. 193), Homer Gildersleeve appears with his wife! On March 21, 1939 (episode #197), he portrayed Frank, the barber . In the 25 April 1939 episode (#202), Fibber visits an optometrist ("oculist") named Dr. Donald Gildersleeve . In the 20 June 1939 episode, Fibber Has a Toothache, their dentist is Dr. Gildersleeve; although Molly calls him Wilbur, McGee calls him "Wilberforce", and he once had a "thing" for Molly, so it might be a relative to Throckmorton? In the episode "Gildersleeve's Diary" (10 / 22 / 40), it is revealed that his middle name is Philharmonic . Many of his interactions with Fibber include the catchphrase "You're a hard man, McGee", in response to a harsh or critical statement from Fibber . Throckmortons's wife is frequently mentioned, never heard, and dropped when Peary moved on to his own show . However, the wife of Homer Gildersleeve (again played by Peary) was briefly heard from in one episode . </Li> <Li> The Old - Timer (Bill Thompson)--a hard - of - hearing senior citizen with a penchant for distorting jokes, prefacing each one by saying, "That ain't the way I heer'd it!" For no apparent reason, he refers to Fibber as "Johnny" and Molly as "Daughter". A recurring joke is that he refuses to tell his real name . In the 1940 episode "Mailing Christmas Packages", he is referred to by another character as "Roy", while in one episode (01 / 29 / 1946 and reiterated in the episode a week later) he claims his name is "Rupert Blasingame". In the 3 / 25 / 41 episode, "Fibber Changes His Name", he appears as Mr. Fumble, a lawyer . Also, in the 3 / 14 / 39 episode, Fibber calls him Mr. Sims, but he's having trouble with his memory in this episode, so this may be just an error in remembering, as he also calls Mr. Wilcox "Harpo" for perhaps the first time instead of Harlow, due to poor memory tricks . The Old - Timer's girlfriend is named Bessie, and she usually refers to him as "O.T." In a 15 - minute episode near the end of the series, Mcgee and Molly spend the day trying to find one mysterious "Adleton P. Bagshaw," only to discover him to be the Old - Timer . At the Mcgees' surprise the Old - Timer says, "You mean to stand there with your bare face hanging out in the wind and tell me you don't know my name...pretty discouragin' when folks you consider your friends for nigh on twenty years don't even know ." </Li> <Li> Tini, also known as "Little Girl" and "Sis" (Marian Jordan)--a precocious youngster who frequently tried to cadge loose change from Fibber (often in cahoots with her rarely heard best friend Willie Toops). She often ended her sentences with "I betcha!", and when someone mentioned food, or a word that sounded like a food, she usually responded "I'm hungry ." Tini was also known to lose track of her own conversations . When Fibber showed interest in what she was saying, she would forget all about it, and her conversation would switch from telling to asking . After Fibber repeated everything she had been telling him, Tini would reply "I know!" or "I know it!" in a condescending way . Her appearances were sometimes foreshadowed by Molly excusing herself to the kitchen or to have a nap . Fibber would wistfully deliver a compliment to her, saying, "Ah, there goes a good kid," upon which the doorbell would ring and Tini would appear, usually greeting Fibber with "Hi, mister!" On rare occasions Molly and Tini would interact . In the December 21, 1948 broadcast Fibber learned that her real name was "Elizabeth" from a Christmas card she had sent him . She was perpetually a child, and her permanent youth was only mentioned once; Fibber asked her how old she was, to which she responded, "Five". Then he asked how long she'd been coming over to visit him and Molly . "Nine years," she answered . Then, after a pause, she asked, "Ain't it a wonderful world, mister?" </Li> <Li> Mayor La Trivia (Gale Gordon)--the mayor of Wistful Vista, whose name was inspired by New York City's famous mayor Fiorello La Guardia . In later episodes, Fibber occasionally addresses the mayor as "Homer", although it is unclear whether this is his actual first name, or just another of the show's random unexplained naming gags, as The Old Timer's calling Fibber "Johnny". In one episode, we learn that Fifi Tremaine's pet name for the mayor is "Chuckie". The McGees' regular routine with La Trivia entailed Fibber and Molly misunderstanding a figure of speech, in much the same vein as Abbott & Costello's Who's On First? routine . La Trivia would slowly progress from attempting patient explanation to tongue - tied rage, in Gale Gordon's classic slow - burn . Occasionally, after La Trivia exited a scene, Fibber and Molly's dialogue makes it clear that they were deliberately winding him up . </Li>
