If there are any Old Time Radio listeners in this group I would be
interested in your input. Using creativity, production, acting,
writing and your totally unobjective personal taste as the criteria,
rank your top ten old
time radio programs. Mine a

1. The Adventures of Harry Lime
2. Crime Classics
3. Mr. President
4. Suspense
5. Frontier Gentleman
6. The Whistler
7. Gunsmoke
8. I Was a Communist For the FBI
9. You Are There
10.Unit 99

Points will be awarded inversely e.g. 10 points for a #1 ranking, 9
points for #2, etc. Totals will be calculated weekly for one month or
however long interest in the topic remains.

Leader in the clubhouse:
The Adventures of Harry Lime: 10 points.

Incidentally a fantastic website devoted to Old Time Radio is
http://www.otrcat.com/index.php/ I have no stake in the site, just
feel they deserve a plug for their contribution to keeping the OTR
hobby alive and well. One could spend many evenings reading the well
written
synopses and historys of hundreds of OTR programs produced during
that wonderful era.

My favorites include the Zen-minimalist-style comedy show _Lum and
Abner_ (not counting the circa 1948 Hollywood version which was
written by the Usual Suspects after they smelled money) and the
brilliant absurdist humor of _The Goon Show_.


With my best,


Kevin.

For comedy, I Was a Communist For the FBI would be very difficult
to top in my book. Also, if I had the list to do over I would replace
The Whistler with Fort Laramie featuring Raymond Burr. He was
outstanding as was the writing.
