The Buck Jones radio show was a western, called "Hoofbeats". It was a
syndicated show sponsored by Grape Nuts Flakes and aired from June 1937 to
March 1938. Only one episode has survived.

But she wasn't treated as well as she could've been because the minute both
Gale Gordon and Bill Thompson finished their stints in the service "Alice
Darling" was written off the show and all of the regular residents of
"Wistful Vista" returned.
This is a bit of sore point with me, characters just disappearing.
Its enough to keep all radio sleuth's in business for years searching
for these missing characters. They are there one week and gone the
next, maybe just not needed for that week, but before you know it they
never come back. I remember a big deal being made of Gildersleeve
leaving, but that's about the only character whose absence was
mentioned. Gildy of course had girl friend characters come and go, but
it was mentioned they went somewhere for some purpose, and replaced the
following week with another character. Sometimes they returned to
Summerville for a visit.
Continuity seemed to be a problem with many shows though.

There's some pertinent info in John Dunning's "On the [removed]"

I used to listen to The Bob Hawk Show (quiz, Camels, "You're a LEMAC now",
etc.). (From today's viewpoint Bob Hawk seems to me to have lacked charm

broadcast recording of The Bob Hawk Show I heard a while back. I

Subject: Jack Benny Questions ...
Hi all!
I'm listening to all the Jack Benny broadcasts I can get my mitts on, in as
sequential an order as possible. I've got a couple of questions for more
learned members of the list ...
In the latter episodes for JELL-O, a generic announcer was spliced in over
Don Wilson, particularly in the last several weeks of the JELL-O sponsorship.
He was AWFUL! Don Wilson was still in the cast. It sounded like his actual
ad was cut out and this anonymous guy spliced in. What gives?
Then, in the spring of 1943, during the first season for Grape-Nuts, Jack
disappeared for four weeks. Burns and Allen filled in for a week, Orson
Welles for three. Ostensibly, Jack was laid up with a chest cold. But for a
MONTH???? What happened?

From: "Jeff Geddes" <jeffg@[removed];
So, I guess SORRY WRONG NUMBER would work out, even today, almost too
frighteningly easily!
The original "Sorry, Wrong Number" depended on a technological failing,
wires being crossed so that main character could hear the plot. In the
story you posted, the technology worked, but the 911 operators were
inexcusibly incompetent.
Having been in a school performance of "Sorry, Wrong Number" in high
school (I played one of the conspirators), I am familiar with the play. I
think it could work just as well today. It's not impossible for phone
lines to be crossed even today.
In my high school performance, during a break in a rehearsal, someone
started fooling with the phone ringer, so that the prop phones started
ringing. Staying right in character, the girl planing the lead picked up
the phone and said, "Hello? Hello? What's the matter with this phone!"
Then, of course, there's the Jack Benny Program where Jack, after seeing a
performance of "Sorry, Wrong Number," gets a crossed connection on his own
phone and thinks he hears his sponsor talking about cancelling him.

Hey Guys and Gals:
I have two questions that I have been meaning to ask:
1. Due to the untimely passing of Perry Como, sad for all of us, I was
toldthat he came out of Fibber McGee & Molly. I have a lot of FM&M shows
and I don't see him at all. Is there a reason? Did Mr. Como sing or do
something on the program and from what period of the series?
2. My friend of 31 years asked me a question about Captain Midnight. I
didn't know how to answer it. I have a series of shows that appear to be
from Nov/Dec 1940 sponsored by Skelly oil. He has a couple shows from
September 1940 with an Ovalteen sponsor. He says it is the first
Ovalteen show. Is this possible. I need help from you CM secret
squadrin guys and gals. Please decode this one for me.
Keep up the good work. OTR is my passion. I only wish I had time to
listen to my shows as much as I want. Thank you for the information
gang.

Subject: Low Power on Shortwave
I should have emphasized more the purpose of using LOW POWER on the vast
wasteland of entirely usable shortwave frequencies. Since the FCC, under
pressure from the big, bloated, greedy corporate broadcasting conglomerates,
has killed low power neighborhood broadcasting on FM; then an alternative
would be the vast stretches of unused frequencies on the shortwave band for
LOW POWER NEIGHBORHOOD
RADIO STATIONS.
I am very much aware of the international use of shortwave broadcasting,
as a broadcast engineer. And I am not talking about letting people in Hong
Kong or Moscow know all about the Kenwood/Cedar Isles neighborhood in
Minneapolis via a zillion watts of power. Hah! I am talking about a low
power neighborhood radio station. And if the folks in Africa and Iceland
happen to hear about my neighborhood along with some classical music -- via
the skip -- well then send me a report and will be glad to send them a QSL
card!
Anticipating the next question. Duh--how about a receiver? Well now,
receivers that tune in shortwave, along with standard broadcast and FM, are
quite common. Just hop on down to your nearest Radio Shack and buy one for
not much money at all.
The internet is not a viable option. My station would be just one of a
zillion www's in a sea of lowbrow activity.
Not everybody is on the internet. But everybody can buy a radio mit
der shortwave on it, as I just mentioned.
Oh well. I am one of the few that dare to dream. :)

Subject: Technical Gaffes versus Speculative Ideas
Ken Kay, remarking on technical gaffes, notes,
Not enjoying a show due to the impossibility of the plot device sure
would eliminate some of my favorite shows. The Shadow, the Green Hornet
and all of the Sci Fi shows would be disliked. Forget a lot of the
episodes of Inner Sanctum, Nightfall, Lights Out, Hermit's Cave, the
Whistler, Mysterious
Traveler, [removed] <<
Well, if Ken Kay's speaking of individual episodes of these shows, that's
one thing; if one speaks of the premise of each show, that's another. A
technical gaffe is different from a speculative extension that's not
impossible. For example, the "gas gun" of The Green Hornet was never
explained on the radio. Shooting an anesthetic gas from a pistol-like
weapon might seem preposterous, but there are at least two approaches
that could work. One of them was shown in The Green Hornet movie serial.
The basic power of The Shadow falls roughly in the area of
parapsychology and while debatable, isn't a gaffe. Most Science Fiction
(as opposed to "SciFi" -- and I'm a purist that way) is based upon
concepts that are speculative but not scientifically impossible at the
time of the writing. Many of the stories on "Dimension X" were adapted
from tales first appearing in the magazine then known as Astounding
Science Fiction (now Analog); its editor then, John W. Campbell, Jr., was
the most rigorous in the genre in filtering out Science Fiction from
SciFi. Campbell had a companion magazine, Unknown Worlds, that dealt
with fantasy themes.
Now as far as fantasy goes -- let's get down and dirty by starting with
Let's Pretend, with its giants and fairy-tale spells. These are clearly
impossible -- are simply fairy tales. The listener goes in understanding
that it's all make-believe (unless he or she is _really_ young). Eating
"magic seaweed" to breathe underwater, as in Land of the Lost, was beyond
a technical gaffe, as was a talking fish named Red Lantern, but the show
was entertaining.
With that, shows like The Mysterious Traveler were clearly fantasy, and
were as accepted as such. The Whistler usually relied on outrageous
coincidences (O. Henry twists) rather than purely technical concerns.
That being said: if a technical gaffe is incidental to the story ([removed],
the astronomer in The Lone Ranger who claimed to have seen exploding
planets in his telescope), it's something one can live with, even if
one's a specialist. If the entire basis of the show is founded on
something starkly impossible, though, specialists find it hard to let it
slide.
In my "special" show, Captain Midnight, there was at least one anomaly,
and one near-impossibility. In the X Island tale, developing a smoke
screen that would leave a clear space below the smoke with a ceiling of
about 1,000 feet, was something that would have to be classified as
Science Fiction -- not impossible, but something that nobody had ever
done, and for which there was no explanation. For my book, I had to
explain it, which meant I had to retro-engineer a plausible way for this
to have been done. Later, the "Rocket Plane" in the close of the World
War II sequenced, was technically impossible as presented (the Me 163
Komet was as close as the Germans got to that -- and it was mostly a
glider), so I had to "redesign" the aircraft to be something
technologically credible -- and at that, I rather hinted at the critical
feature rather than spelling it out as a fact. But while eliminating the
technical gaffes there, it's clear that even this usually meticulous show
wasn't absolutely perfect. (If enough copies of my current work sell
enough, I'll have to retro-engineer some items in the sequel.)

Subject: Re: Awa--awa!
Jer51473 wonders,
Elizabeth or anyone: I have recently been revisiting my old A&A tapes and i
noticed that often the very last line of a show is yelled by Amos. He yells
aah waaa! This is in response to the surprise turn of the tables on the
Kingfish and Andy's latest scheme that backfires and ends the program. Does
anyone know what Amos means by "aah waaa" ?
This is an all-purpose exclamation that had its origin in the fact that
Freeman Gosden had a slight stammer, which can be heard in many of the
surviving A&A syndication episodes from 1929. The exclamation started out
as "awa--awa" and was often heard at the beginning of sentences when Amos
(or his predecessor Sam) was startled or scrambling to come up with the
right words to say in a given situation, in much the same manner as Ralph
Kramden's "homina homina homina." (That the stammer was Gosden's own and
not simply a character trait for Amos can be demonstrated by the fact
that it sometimes manifested in the Kingfish's speech as well.)
By 1930, "Awa--awa" had caught on as a pop-culture catch phrase on the
same level as Andy's "Uh-oh," or "I'se regusted", and Gosden began
working it into the scripts self-consciously as a way of punctuating
scenes. Depending on the context and the inflection of voice, "awa--awa"
could indicate bemusement, amusement, amazement, perplexity, or shock. In
the well-known 1939 sequence in which Andy is shot by an unknown
assailant (and I've not read the next episodes in this storyline, so it's
also unknown to me!) during his wedding to Valada Green, Amos shouts a
police-siren-like "Awa! Awa! Awa!" to clear a path thru the crowded
church as he and the Kingfish rush the wounded Andy to the hospital.

Subject: Re: Saving Real Audio
Hello again --
Elmer Standish asked:
Does anyone know whether it is possible to download the actual
Real Player files to which the .ram files connect?
Someone may give you a better answer than mine, Elmer, but I simply use an
inexpensive computer utility called Total Recorder (from
[removed]), and start it just before listening to a
program in Real Audio. That's how I've gotten several of my Garrison Keillor
stories from Prairie Home Companion.
Unlike some other computer-based recorders, you don't have to estimate the
amount of time the broadcast will take; Total Recorder simply records any
sound emanating from the computer and stores it in memory before you save it
on hard disk as a .WAV file -- and then can convert it to MP3 to take up
less space if you wish.
Granted that you are recording in "real" time this way, but you can easily
go off and do something else and come back to stop the recorder when the
program is over.
Cheers,
Jan Bach

Subject: re: Remley
the wonderfully funny character played by Elliot Reid went from being called
"Frankie Remley" on the Rexall sponsored shows to just "Elliot" in later
shows
First of all, he was played by the great Elliott LEWIS, who many people think
was the most versatile, and overall best, radio actor of all time . . . I
assume that was just a slip.
Then: Frankie Remley wasn't a "character,' in the ordinary sense of that
word; he was a real person. There was an actual left-handed guitar player in
Phil Harris' band on the Jack Benny show named Frankie Remley. He and Jack
were great friends, for example often traveling together, and so he became
the butt of jokes on the Benny show, including getting-drunk-with-Phil-jokes,
long before there was a Harris-Faye show. (In one of those "small world"
ironies, a colleague of mine where I work actually grew up across the street
from the Remleys, played with their kids etc.)
When the Harris show started out, the creators and writers built off of that
fictional Harris-Remley relationship from the Benny show, originally to no
objection from Remley. However, in the last year or so of the show,
something happened; I'm not sure if anyone knows exactly what. But Remley
decided that he was unhappy with the way he was being represented, or maybe
that he ought to be paid for the use of his name (or ought to be paid more),
or something like that. To avoid being sued, the Phil's sidekick character
was thereafter called Elliott Lewis. So it wasn't a change of sponsor; the
character of Remley was owned by Remley himself!
