I loved the days of radio plays. You had to use your imagination to picture the characters in your mind. Fibber McGee & Molly, The Shadow, Amos & Andy, Inner Sanctum.... I loved them all.

Remember these are RADIO shows
Kid shows. Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Superman, Sky King, Batman, Sergeant Preston, Bobby Benson and the B Bar Be Riders, The Green Hornet, Straight Arrow, Froggy the Gremlin (Plunk Your Magic Twanger Froggy). Who remembers Clyde Beatty?
Shows suitable for the whole family: Amos and Andy, Your Hit Parade, Fibber McGee, Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Milton Burl and so many more until 9PM.
I went to bed at 9PM but I would sneak down the hall, lay on the floor outside the living room and listen to: Gang Busters, Charlie Chan, Your FBI, Inter Sanctum, The Shadow, The Whistler, Boston Blackie, Dimension X, The Mysterious Traveler and The Hammer Guy until I fell asleep. When they went to bed dad would pick me up and put me in my bed. They never said anything about it to me but I'm sure they laughed about it in the privacy of their bed room

I downloaded a ton of them years ago and still listen to them occasionally. Almost everything is available on YouTube

Loved all those Radio Shows
But
Wasn't it "Pep Flakes" instead of "Wheaties" with this show?
Remember Sky King & Peter Pan Peanut Butter

Speaking of Wheaties. Who's old enough to remember Bob Richards, pole vaulter and minister, on the box?

What about Dragnet and the radio show that used to play the song “ a walk in the Black Forest” included something about the bears.

You can still hear a lot of the old shows with XM Radio Chanel 148.

Yes he was. We have a box of Wheaties with Brett Hull on them in a clear plastic box. Hull, ofc, scored the game wining goal for the Dallas Stars in the third overtime of the seventh game of the 1999 Stanley Cup playoff game. Everybody else had given up and gone to bed, but I was still awake at 2 a.m. to see the win. The nineties were good in Dallas.

Does anyone remember Loman and Barkley from local major radio station in L.A. ? About 1980. These two guys just improvised a new episode of “Light of my Life” every weekday during morning drive time. Hilarious “soap opera” sendoff. Used the same canned organ music every day, including the same wrong note at the climax of the phrase. I read that the two djs eventually had some differences and split up. I think you can find them on YouTube.

A step down memory lane. I love Old Time Radio and have quite a number of episode. My favorite though is the Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes series.
