Mr. and Mrs. North was conceived for radio as it had begun in literature: as a light comedy. When he wrote the original stories for the New Yorker in the 1930s, Richard Lockridge made them light domestic misadventures. It wasn't until 1940, when Lockridge teamed with his wife, Frances, that the Norths met murder and steam-rolled their way into the most successful husband-and-wife crimefighting series of the day.
