Good Evening.
A lot of good shows on the way tonight filled with detectives and suspense.
How is everyone?
Looks like a great lineup tonight--a "Broadway is My Beat," "Escape" and more. We even have Lucille Ball in "My Favorite Husband."

Hi, Vision. How was your week? Anything exciting happening?
Thank you very much!
Love listening to the Dragnet shows.
Overall everything's good. Am battling scale on some magnolia bushes- an issue I was ignorant about. Put some mulch down and am considering reseeding the lawn. Made pit beef Friday and smoked some chuckies Sat. Smoked some cigars.
Life is good.
How about you all? What's the egg doing this weekend?
No, I like Gunsmoke too!
And, Broadway Is My Beat.
If I remember to tune in early, I always liked Johnny Dollar!
If you don’t mind, please add me to your ping list.
It would sure help me to remember!!!
Bugs on our plants are the pits! Hopefully you can get on top of them and get those magnolias cleared up.
Time really does fly. That sounds so cliche’, but it’s just the truth. It’s kind of alarming though, but I do like it when the weekend is here, even if we have to work.
We’re brining a chicken right now and will throw it on the Egg in a little while. I think I may make a batch of mustard potato salad. Your dinners sound good, as always.
Sure.
Hi, Onyx! It’s good to see you here. This thread has been a little lonely lately. We used to have several more people who would hang out and listen to the shows with us.
I hope you didn’t have any trouble with the four tornadoes that happened in that system the moved through the state yesterday. The rain was really nice. We had two inches down here on the Coast.
That’s a great lineup. On the XM classic radio station, they play all five parts of the Johnny Dollar in succession. The downside of that station is 4 or 5 minutes of commercials every half hour.
Hey Sweetie Pie!
I love this thread and the old radio shows. You see, I’m old enough to remember several of the shows when they were on the radio the first time...lol!
Nope, no storms or tornadoes near me, although I slept away all day and night yesterday. My sweet husband said I slept 26 hours straight through. Yes, I have been feeling “poorly,” but after that long sleep, I feel much, much better.
Two inches on the Coast! Well, our states sure needed the rain. I have no idea the rain total River City received.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome!!! I have my earphones ready!
Thank you so much!!!
Hi, yea, it’s a good one tonight. Welcome.
I ordered a couple of cd-collections this week of two of my favorite old radio shows, “Our Miss Brooks” and the “Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show.” One of these days I hope to find the time and get back into listening some good OTR.
Any “Vic and Sade” fans out there? It’s a unique show - difficult for me to describe. I have link to a website that has quite a few archived if anyone is interested.
