Funny but irritating

The My Friend Irma radio program was cute and enjoyable. It had several memorable character actors who did wonderful jobs in their roles, including Alan Reed in a non-typical non-comedic spot as Irma's boss, Mr. Clyde. Irma and her boyfriend, Al, fall into that class of characters that are funny even though they are irritating. No one could really be as stupid as Irma is nor as incorrigibly lazy as Al, and because of that, at times their characters become almost painful instead of funny. Notwithstanding that shortcoming, however, the program as a whole was a lot of fun and would fall into the "must" category of any serious Old Radio fan.
