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 on ebay.
Red Skelton:
Red Skelton (July 18, 1913 – September 17,
1997) was an American comedian who was best known as a top radio
and television star from 1937 to 1971. Skelton's show business
career began in his teens as a circus clown and went on to
vaudeville, Broadway, films, radio, TV, night clubs and casinos,
all while pursuing another career as a painter. Skelton, who has
stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his radio and television
work, is quoted as saying, "I just want to be known as a clown,
because to me that's the height of my profession. It means you
can do everything—sing, dance and above all, make people laugh."
The Skelton divorce in 1943 meant that Red had lost his married
man's deferment; he was once again classified as 1-A for
service. He was drafted into the Army in early 1944. Both MGM
and his radio sponsor tried to obtain a deferment for the
comedian, but to no avail. Skelton's last Raleigh radio show was
on June 6, 1944, the day before he was formally inducted.
Without its star, the program was discontinued, and the
opportunity presented itself for the Nelsons to begin a radio
show of their own, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. Skelton
suffered a nervous breakdown while in the Army and was
discharged on September 18, 1945. His sponsor was eager to
have him back on the air, and Skelton's program began anew on
NBC on December 4, 1945.
Lightning
Jim:
This is the story of U.S. Marshal Lightning
Jim Whipple, his trusty horse Thunder, and his deputy, Whitey
Larson. The shows are stereotypical portrayals of Native
Americans, the history of the Union-Pacific Railroad, and other
Western related subjects.
The program originated in the 1940s and was called The
Adventures of Lightning Jim. At this time, it was a West
Coast program. The program returned as a syndicated ZIV series
in the 1950s and a total of 98 radio programs were produced.
