I enjoy the TV shows. October 23, 2015 _ __ Steve - Great old shows, going through Robin Hood right now. Have not seen this since I was a kid, just fantastic! August 28, 2015 _ __ James - Combat! (1962–1967)-Great Show! Thanks for the memories, I remember watching with my dad Saturday nights. If you listen to Episode 182, April 19, 1953, The Big Rip, also listed as episode 200 overall, you will here an announcer interrupting the show at 13 minutes 41 seconds, to say that he had additional names of sick and wounded US GI's that were being released by the North Koreans. If there was ever an emotional moment that even topped this great radio show, this was it. Corporal Vernon C. Warren of St. Louis Missouri Roy M. Jones of Minneapolis, Minnesota PFC David Ludlum of Fort Wayne, Indiana PFC Roy Medina of New York City They were being released to Freedom City. Most kids when they grow up they dream about 'when I grow up I'm gonna be a.' The only job I EVER wanted to do was Radio. I volunteered for the US Army and enjoyed most of my time. Old 50s Tv ShowsWhen I got out at the ripe old age of 21 (don't know if they still offer it but in the late 70's you'd sign on for 6 years and would do 3 active & 3 inactive. I never lost my desire for radio & lied my way into my very first gig. My 1st PD, Program Director, knew I hadn't been in the business long (I lied that I had experience) & kept preaching TOMA to me. Top Of the Mind Awareness and said it was something they used to preach during the Golden, and Greatest, era of Radio. Even as a kid I LOVED going to the library and listening to cassette tapes of radio shows from the 40's & 50's, so I understood what he was talking about. Drink to that. It didn't mean I would GET how to use TOMA right away but it was the best piece of advice I ever received about the business so I made sure I always used it when I was hiring people! It would have been GREAT to have had an opportunity to appear on these great shows but I have no regrets about the way things played out for me! Free Old Tv Shows From The 50'sRegardless, all of these GREAT shows were a part of the GREATEST ERA IN RADIO!! I have said on other reviews that comparing any classic radio show with a 'Modern Day ' radio or TV version is wrong. You need to put yourself in the shoes of a listener in the days when the programme was first aired taking into account that TV was still in its infancy and in some cases a poor second too the way Radio gave drama to the listener. Radio uses 'Sound' to convey urgency, fear suspense etc.and in the golden age they did it so well, what other medium can show the sinister mystery of 'The Shadow' just by letting the voice be in a whisper.
