Smilin’ Ed McConnell and “The Buster Brown Gang” with “Midnight” the Cat - “Ni-i-ice”, and “Froggy the Gremlin” - “Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!” Sproi-oi-oing!

And, yes...I am quite long in the tooth! I heard that program in about 1944 - 45, around noon on Saturdays, on a battery radio (because our farming community in south central PA did not get electrified by REA until 1946). I was 5 years old and remember it well.

I was born in 1946, and listened on an old Brown Bakelite "plastic"..or rubber [?} tube radio..which l;ooked something like this one

Amos N Andy was a radio show back then too, as i remember

I heard that program in about 1944 - 45, around noon on Saturdays...absolutely, after a whole Saturday morning of great listening including "No School Today with Big Jon and Sparkie" (and the "Teddy Bear's Picnic"), "Let's Pretend", and "Grand Central Station"...according to "The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio" (Dunning), McConnell started the show in 1944 on radio and took it to television in 1950; he died in 1955 and Andy Devine kept the program going until 1960....
