Sounds like a great way to listen to these shows. Hope to have more Christmas shows up soon but have a whole playlist if you have not found it yet. Thanks again for listening to the channel. Good luck with the baking this year and I'm sure everyone will enjoy.
This is first time hearing new show on youtube, I love old time radio. I listen to Johnny dollar and my favorite husband, and this is my first time hearing this new show . !! please keep up the old radio show up!! thank u so very much!!!
Thank you so much. So glad you found OTR radio. Have a vast majority of these shows on the channel. We also do a live show every Saturday night 9 PM EST. with a chat.
How fun! Do you still do that? I see this reply is a year old. I have been an old-time radio fan since Chuck Schaden started his Those were the days programs in the 1970s and I was only 10 yrs old 😊
I was definitely born in the wrong era. I would much rather be listening to these treasures from the past than watching the junk on that is on TV these days. Thank-you for opening up an entire new world of entertainment, as I just discovered OTR the other day.
Oh my gosh. The opening ad for Glo-Coat. My mom used that. So did I when I occasionally waxed the kitchen floor for her. It was linoleum and we had a buffer machine with two spinning brushes and a long handle going straight up. That thing was loud and jerked around like crazy. It was that 40's or 50's light blue.
This, I know- as the sponsor, S.C. Johnson, the makers of "Johnson's Wax", saved the majority of their 1935-'50 "FIBBER McGEE AND MOLLY" transcriptions [recorded on 16 inch 33 rpm discs, two sides for each half-hour, and copies given to them] in the basement of their corporate headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin...and that's why so many of them have found their way into collectors' circles.
@loris711 Fibber McGee and Molly show premiered on NBC April 16, 1935, and though it took three seasons to become an irrevocable hit, it became the country's top-rated radio series. There are many episodes online if you search around. I will post the first ever episode for you from NBC! Thanks for listening!
Awesome! Thanks For Listening! It Is Great To Listen To These Shows & Have To Use Your Imagination. I Felt The Same Way After The First Show I Listened To!
Actually, this is the 1939 Halloween episode (originally broadcast on October 24, 1939). Note that Billy Mills strikes up "Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead" at 25:22- that, of.course, was featured in "The Wizard of Oz", released in August 1939. It would be a miracle if that were heard in "1935".
How and why did they record this show in 1935? Were all Fibber McGee & Molly shows recorded? I really didn't think recording became common until the transcriptions in WW2. Thanks so much for all these old shows. Our family just gathers around laptop in the living room, playing cards, knitting, building with the Erector set, or working on a puzzle listening, laughing, and enjoying. Not quite as romantic as a tube radio, but the cat does like to sit on the keyboard and soak up the warmth.
Before I was born .Love these oldtime radio shows listen to them every night.Thanks for posting. Also listen to Charlie Macarthy and Baby Snooks show is hilarious check them out. There are lots of others also.
Thanks loads! On a bleak winter evening they are a sure-fire tonic! Is it my imagination or is "Boomer" someone imitating WC (William Claude Dukenfield) Fields?
Yes, absolutely. For my spouse and I, at least, the more "old" entertainment we consume, the more references we catch, which is so fun. A lot of the warner brothers cartoon characters clearly start out as broadly inspired by comedians of the era. Bugs Bunny, for example, definitely starts out as Groucho Marx. And Foghorn Leghorn is very obviously inspired by Senator Cleghorn from the Fred Allen radio show!
Teenie was voice by Marian Jordan--the same person who voiced Molly. That's why you rarely hear them BOTH in the same scene. Also, in this episode Bill Thompson voiced BOTH The Old Timer and Horatio K. Boomer.
