In addition to the radio show, seven Lum and Abner movies were released in theaters, the first one in 1940 and the final one in 1956. Although it boasts a rather large fan base, the series never caught on with the general public the way Jack Benny and other radio shows did and is in desperate need of more love. That said, the series is (by all appearances) in the public domain and most of the episodes can be listened to for free here.
