Re: recommendation for a good show
Tue, September 30, 2003 - 2:26 AMCBS Mystery Theater is excellent.
Something off the beaten path that I liked is “Adventures in Radio”. It’s a collect of real stories of how things came to be.
Sci-fi, “X-1” and some of Ray Bradbury’s stories where made into radio dramas.
“The Adventures of Phillip Marlow “ is good hard-boiled detective stuff.
Adventure by Morse is another.
That just off the top of my head if I think of more I will post them.

Re: recommendation for a good show
Thu, October 16, 2003 - 1:33 PM"Suspense" -- one of the best ever. Ran on CBS as I recall --right up to the end of the serials. Sunday nights on WCBS New York, endend in the late 50's.
Featured scripts by Bradbury, A.C. Clark, other famous sci-fi and mystery writers doing the mystery
genre and was cutting edge of it's day.
A real chiller.
All the best

Fri, October 17, 2003 - 9:51 PMSUSPENSE ran until September of 1962, ending the same night YOURS TRULY, JOHNNY DOLLAR did, which is generally considered to be the end of the era of Old Time Radio. SUSPENSE was a terrific show, and most of the 900+ episodes are available.

Sat, November 15, 2003 - 7:20 PMAlso, a little higher on the cheese/camp scale, you've got "Dragnet", "Your FBI" and "I was a Communist for the FBI".
If you're a fan of 1950s science fiction short stories, "X minus 1" is the way to go. -

Sun, November 16, 2003 - 5:38 PM"I was a communist for the FBI" is pretty funny. but of the shows I had heard its not bad. definitely cold war propaganda.

Sun, June 5, 2005 - 12:03 PM"X Minus One". Brilliant stories, along the lines of "The Twilight Zone" or "The Outer Limits".
"Gangbusters". Great sound editing to move between parallel plot lines.
"The Third Man". -

Re: recommendation for a good show
Mon, June 6, 2005 - 1:38 AMBill Boyd, who play Hoppy, had a voice created for radio. One of the great cowboy characters of all time. Good suggestion, Charleston.
