Old Time Radio Comedy
The Old Time Radio Network Comedy, Continuing America's love affair with comedy and those lovable characters that made us laugh. Old Time Radio Comedy ran the gamut from the country humor of Lum and Abner and Minnie Pearl to the dialect characterizations of Mel Blanc and the caustic sarcasm of Henry Morgan. Gags galore were delivered weekly on Stop Me If You've Heard This One and Can You Top This?, panel programs devoted to the art of telling jokes. Who can forget the great shows, Fred Allen, Jack Benny, Victor Borge, Fanny Brice, Billie Burke, Bob Burns, Judy Canova, Bob Hope, Phil Harris, Spike Jones, Groucho Marx, Jean Shepherd, Red Skelton and Ed Wynn. More laughter was generated on such shows as Abbott and Costello, Amos 'n' Andy, Burns and Allen, Easy Aces, Ethel and Albert, Fibber McGee and Molly, The Great Gildersleeve and The Halls of Ivy. Join us each week as we remember these greats and more on the Old Time Radio Network.

His use and abuse of language was "exempulary" - the same type of local "parlese" that made The Damon Runyan Theater ... 3/6/2012 12. Aldrich Family "Girl Trouble" ...In the show, Ezra Stone starred as16-year old Henry Aldrich, also known as "Penrod of the '40s." In his 13 years, Henry Aldrich had more disasters, chaos, and craziness than a closet full of squirrels let loose in a glass house. Henry accidentally managed to create hilariously disastrous situations out of anything he could get his hands on, whether it be a telephone or a flat tire. So put on your hard hat and get ready for the punchline, because Henry is: "Coming Mother!" 3/4/2012 13. Life of Riley "Riley Pans to Build&...The Life of Riley is about Chester A. Riley, an aircraft plant blue-collar worker, his family and their neighbors. Bendix took the title role in '44, after doing mostly heavies in the films. The show quickly grew in popularity in post WWII America, as thousands of GI's were coming home to find work, buy a house and raise a family.Just like Riley. Riley is stubborn and opinionated, and knows his way is the right way. His fa... 2/17/2012 14. The Palm Beach StoryFinal Sale Ends Soon!!
