Lum 'n' Abner: Back to Business Lum & Abner was a beloved comedy that entertained America from 1931 to 1954, centered on two folksy, good-natured proprietors of the Jot 'Em Down Store in the fictional small town of Pine Ridge, Arkansas. The show drew its humor from the gentle misadventures and homespun wisdom of Lum Edwards and Abner Peabody, played by creators Chester Lauck and Norris Goff, and became a warm reflection of rural American life during the mid-20th century. This broadcast is from 7/13/1943.
