[Humbug]

I got into Old Time Radio several years ago, back when i started looking for things to while away the time on long trips. I have listened to and liked Gunsmoke, Suspense, Escape, Johnny Dollar, Jack Benny, but my favorite has actually turned out to be Lum & Abner. It's silly but there are a lot of LOL moments and the humor isn't as dated as, say, Jack Benny can sometimes be. By the way, the Internet Archive site hosts a lot of OTR shows that you can listen to or download.

Here's a link to Lum & Abner from there (i'm linking to "page 3" since the sound quality is better there than on the first two L&A pages, plus the commercials are fewer): L&A 03

Thanks for the info. Would you like on the ping list?

Oh yeah. Lum & Abner are wonderfully funny. Quite the equal of Amos ‘n’ Andy. The Lum & Abner Society used to (until very recently) publish a periodical magazine, offer scripts of old radio shows for which there are (as yet) no existent audio, and a way to acquire all existent audio programs (I have them all). I think most of the Lum & Abner episodes are available still through SPERDVAC.

Oh yeah. The L&A Society still maintains a presence on the internet.

In addition, L&A made about a half dozen or so very low budget movies that never quite captured the flavor of the radio broadcasts. The movies were also available for purchase through the L&A Society at one time.
