One Man's Family is an American radio serial drama created by Carlton E. Morse, premiering on NBC in 1932 and following three generations of the Barbour family in the San Francisco Bay Area across a run that continued for twenty-seven years. Morse structured the series in numbered books and chapters like a serialized novel, giving it a narrative continuity and family-saga scope unusual among radio dramas of its era. One Man's Family is regarded as one of the longest-running and most influential dramatic serials in the history of American radio, shaping the family-saga soap opera form that followed it on both radio and television.
