Taking A Look Back To Favorite Old Time Radio Shows In Cheyenne
What were some of our favorite radio shows from those thrilling days of yesteryear in Cheyenne? I realize that for most of us they were re-runs, but were the pioneers of entertainment after the days of Vaudeville.
Today on the Top 5 at 7:45, I'll highlight my top favorite old time radio programs that used to broadcast through the boxes called radios, into the living rooms of families throughout Cheyenne.
- Dragnet - No question, this is my numero uno favorite old time radio program. Of course, the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
- Gunsmoke - There was only one way to handle the killers and the spoilers and that's with a U.S. Marshall and the smell of.....gunsmoke!
- The Jack Benny Program - Jack was always the butt of the jokes and portrayed himself as a tight wad. The fact is that Mr. Benny was very generous and his cast were the best paid in Hollywood at the time.
- Amos And Andy - This was set in Harlem New York and was a great comedy. Amos and Andy were voiced by two white actors, but later were voiced by black actors. CBS owns the copyrights to the show and have not released them.
- This Is Your F.B.I. - These were actual stories taken from real cases from the F.B.I. and put into radio form.
