I really discovered Jack Benny and Fred Allen in the early '70s on San Francisco AM radio station KSFO, which had a wonderful block of nightly programming during the week. IIRC, 8 to 9 was old comedy programs (Benny, Allen, Burns, Fibber McGee & Molly), 9 to 10 was drama (both old, such as "The Shadow," and newly produced "CBS Radio Mystery Theater" plays). 10 to 11 was comedy albums (Cosby, Newhart, Freberg, real Dr. Demento stuff).<br /><br />I can't tell you how many nights I sat in my room listening to the radio. In retrospect, I think it must've worried my parents (seriously), but all that stuff was terrific! Very influential and important to me at a formative time.Brian Fieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347700145666751363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-47378963020559398592012-08-22T11:39:39.469-04:002012-08-22T11:39:39.469-04:00I got hooked on old-time radio shows when I was in...I got hooked on old-time radio shows when I was in junior high in the early seventies. WRVR, a long-gone Long Island jazz station, ran them every weeknight at 7. Now I download shows from <a href="http://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio" rel="nofollow">the OTR Archive</a> to my cellphone and listen to them in the car.Bob Buethehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624148139233566430noreply@blogger.com
