No, radio characters often don't lend themselves to a visual medium, and this no exception.
Bergen and McCarthy look ridiculous. Bergen was always an obvious ventriloquist who kept moving his head to distract people from seeing his lips move so obviously. And then the worst, acting as if Charlie McCarthy is able to sit by himself and even answer the phone. Waaaaay better on radio.
Gildersleeve probably comes off better on screen than on radio because he's such a buoyant character to behold.
Lucy at the time was eye candy, and later it became harder to view her as so feminine.
Nevertheless, the audience of the day got to see people they loved for years. It was probably well worth it in the day. They likely suspended all of the shortcomings and came away feeling warm.
