Situation Comedy.  Based on the MGM film series starring Ann Southern.   Broadcast: 7/5/1945-3/28/1947.  30 min.  Went into transcribed syndication in 1949-1953.

Comedy.  1947-1948

Starring Lucille Ball
This is not a well documented series.  Many of the episodes are guesswork as to the air dates.  There is a lot of argument over which is which.  I have left the episodes on this CD in the original order they were acquired in.

Starring Marie Wilson & Cathy Lewis
This is not a well documented series.  Many of the episodes are guesswork as to the air dates.

Situation Comedy. Broadcast 7/19/48-7/7/57.  Starring Eve Arden.  One of the best sit-coms on radio.  Sadly too few of these shows exist and those that do are not in the best shape.  Eve Arden also played the part in the 1952-56 TV series which ran concurrently with the radio series. She passed away in 1990.  The radio series had no specific show titles and so matching up shows to dates can be frustrating.  In 56-57 the show was aired live on both East and West coast and was probably never recorded.

Situation Comedy.

Situation Comedy. Broadcast: 9/29/46-5/23/48 as "The Fitch Bandwagon" 10/3/48-6/18/54 for Rexall until 6/4/50 and RCA from Feb 1951.   Began as an extension of "The Jack Benny Program" and regularly featured supporting players from that show.  There were always two musical numbers in each broadcast.

In the early 1970s, Dick Orkin created a 2-minute radio serial that told the story of Newton Snookers — aka The Tooth Fairy.

The episodes dramatized Newton’s mishaps as — while proudly wearing his lavender dental smock, sequined high hat and mask — he visited the homes of children (and others) who had lost their teeth.

Following the age-old tradition, The Tooth Fairy would reach under the pillow, retrieve the tooth, and leave in its place a nickel, dime, quarter, bus token, or even an occasional slug.

This is the only legal, authorized collection of Tooth Fairy episodes — painstakingly and lovingly remastered from the original tapes of the Molar Marauder’s creator, Dick Orkin.

Comedy vignettes.  A landmark series. Broadcast 6/29/32-9/19/46.  All 15 min. except 1946 shows were reorganized into a 30 min.sit-com.  Only about 200 of the thousands of shows produced are in circulation.   Many have no opening or closing and many have no air date.  Some are poor quality but are worth listening to.  These shows were so good, a special tribute to this series was aired in 1972 and is included on this CD.  Also included is an interview with Ed Roberts, one of the announcers on the series.
