Hello Folks:
I am writing in response to a thread started a year and a half ago about Old Time Radio Memories..Since that thread is archived I thought I would start up again..Being 48 years old, I am not old enough to remember the Heyday of radio (roughly 1930-60)..But have become a fan through shows like When Radio Was, and others on 50kw radio stations I could pick up at night..In the early days of Satellite TV, My brother's big dish would pick up Yesterday USA, a station that would have OTR and Old time music shows..It is still online today. I listen to XM Satellite Radio which has a 24/7 OTR channel..Favorite shows:
Fibber McGee And Molly
Great Gildersleeve
Jack Benny
Our Miss Brooks
Casey Crime Photographer
The Shadow
Boston ****
Grand Ole Opry
Phil Harris/Alice Faye Show
It was mentioned in the Other thread about Fibber and Molly making a movie..They actually made 3 in starring roles and one other as supporting characters..
This Way Please 1937 (supporting roles)
Look who's Laughing 1941 (Starred with Edgar Bergen/Charlie McCarthy)
Here We Go Again 1942 (Again with Bergen/McCarthy)
Heavenly Days 1944
At least the last 3 have been shown on TCM in the past..
I apologize if this ground have been covered in the recent past..
