ALL KNOWN EPISODES TO EXIST.
Don't be fooled by other
collections that claim to contain more episodes. Many of these shows
were aired on multiple dates in reruns, so you have plenty of
sellers out there padding their collections with reruns!
We feature all known episodes in existence and do not add
"fluff" to our collections to increase our claimed episode count
like many others.
NOTICE:
This collection is all in MP3 format supplied on DVD. You
play this in your computer and then can copy all the MP3 files
to your MP3 player of choice. This DVD will NOT play in a
regular CD player in your car, or your TV's DVD player, it is
intended for your computer only which will allow you to transfer
the MP3 files to any device that can play MP3's. This
collection remains the largest most original collection.
The
Adventures of Maisie:
The Adventures of
Maisie (aka Maisie) was a radio comedy series starring
Ann Sothern as underemployed entertainer Maisie Ravier
and a spin-off of Sothern's successful 1939–1947 Maisie
movie series, based on the Maisie short stories by Nell
Martin. (An article in the Fall 2016 issue of Films of
the Golden Age said that the concept for the Maisie
series came from the story Dark Dame by Wilson Collison.)
The series was broadcast on CBS Radio, NBC
Radio,[citation needed] the Mutual Radio Network, and
Mutual flagship radio station WHN in New York City.
Sponsored by Eversharp, the first series ran on CBS
Radio from July 5, 1945 to March 28, 1947, airing on
Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. during the first two months, then
moving to Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. (1945–46), then
Fridays at 10:30 p.m. (1946–47). The supporting cast
included Hy Averback, Arthur Q. Bryan, Hans Conried,
Virginia Gregg, Peter Leeds, Johnny McGovern, and Sidney
Miller. John "Bud" Hiestand was one of its many
announcers, Harry Zimmerman and Albert Sack supplied the
music, and John L. Greene produced. Tony Sanford
directed scripts by Samuel Taylor and others.
The series was heard on the Mutual Radio Network from
January 11 to December 26, 1952, and it was syndicated
from 1949 to 1952 with Pat McGeehan as Eddie Jordan. Bea
Benaderet and Elvia Allman portrayed Mrs. Kennedy. The
supporting cast included Averback, Conreid, Leeds,
McGovern, Lurene Tuttle, Ben Wright, Sandra Gould, and
Jeffrey Silver. Harry Zimmerman led the orchestra with
John Easton and Jack McCoy announcing.
The show popularized the 1940s catch phrase, "Likewise,
I'm sure."
Ports of
Call:
An obscure series from 1935 or 1936 in which each
episode deals with a voyage to a different country where
events of that country's history are dramatized. They
each begin with the low moan of a tramp steamer's
whistle and the announcement of the series title,
followed by a musical interlude.
