     Show Description:
 
     THE BLACK MUSEUM was produced by the BBC and brought to the US for a 
     year long series beginning January 1, 1952. This murder mystery series, 
     heard over Mutual, was based on true life cases from Scotland Yard's 
     files. Each episode was based on an item of evidence in the Scotland 
     Yard's Black Museum, although the actual museum does not exist. Orsen 
     Welles opened and closed this [removed] version.
 
 
     List Comments:
 
     Because many of the catalogs I use as source had no broadcast dates, 
     no episode numbers or no full list of shows, this log is work-in-
     progress and is offered as such.
 
     I have ordered this list alphabetically. Leading "The" and "A" in the 
     titles have been ignored for sorting and have been moved to the end of 
     the title.
 
     The number before the title is to number the title only and has no
     significence as to the actual broadcast order. Four titles are not
     accounted for.  They may be one of the duplicate titles or may be
     missing.
 
     There were a number of titles in various catalogs that were close 
     but not exactly the same. These "alternate" titles are shown below 
     the first title.

Subject:  SR III 
Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

Hello,

Just bought the GE SR III, a new addition to my
growing radio collection, and I am having a blast
DXing the AM/FM bands. Question: Is this radio louder
than  most radios when you press the power button
and it comes on or is this something abnormal? Kind
of a micro-second power up noise. 

Also, I am a fan of the semi-old "CBS Radio Mystery
Theater". Does anyone know if and which station one
could hear this show on? I used to hear it all the time
on KNX, 1070. They still do OTR but not this show.

Thanks

I am a new subsciber to your list and would like to take this opportunity to
say hello.  I have a background in film and law and a voracious appetite for
all forms of pop culture.  I'm a huge fan of radio-theater programming and
hope someone out there can help me in my quest to locate episodes of the CBS
Radio Mystery Theater series that was broadcast in the 70's.  I would also
like to know what the story was behind that programs demise and why it
hasn't been rebroadcast since.  Is there any programming similar to that
(mysteries/dramas) being produced and broadcast now in the states?  I know
the BBC still does some wonderful stuff.  I'm sure you've all already had
this dicussion many a time but I would appreciate it if you could get me up
to speed on these questions.  Also, were the Nancy Drew mysteries ever
produced and serialized for radio?  Thanks for your help and I look forward
to being a part of your future discussions.

I hadn't heard of it.  I hope it's as faithful to Shepherd's stories as
the earlier movie was.  The sets and props alone in "A Christmas Story"
are worth watching the movie for--they did it right, and with a great deal
of appreciation and affection for Shepherd's characters.  Are these the
same people who worked on the earlier production?

Yes--the director is the same, Shepherd as always narrates, and Ralphie's 
house is the same.  The entire cast is different, with the exception of 
Ralphie's teacher.
	Kieran Culkin plays Ralphie.  Kieran is of course Macaulay's 
younger brother, he among other roles played the younger brother in the 
1991 _Father of the Bride_.  His younger brother Christian plays Randy.  
Charles Grodin does a remarkably good job as Ralphie's father, and Mary 
Steenburgen is in my opinion the best Ralphie's mother ever.
	But who asked for a movie review?  The thing is, I think that 
this movie is a creditable rendering of Shepherd's stories, and well 
worth watching.  In some ways it is better than _A Christmas Story_, in 
some ways, not as good.  At any rate, it is worth watching.

Message-Id: <309FC5EC@[removed]>

If I have my dates correct, I was somewhere between 5 and 7 years old when 
Godfrey was on the radio (that I can remember!).  I don't know if it was his 
theme song but I definitely remember him singing a song about Virginia.  The 
first two lines were **In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, by the 
shores of the lonesome pine**  Does that make the name of the song **The 
Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia**?

He may have sung this song at the end of the show as a closing piece.

****************************************************************
I don't think it went straight to video as I remember seeing posters for it
(Coming Soon) in a theatre. Unfortunately I never got to see it, guess I
will have to go out and rent it.
I agrre with the comments about "A Christmas Story," it really made you feel
as though you were back in 1939.
I also feel that they really got what it was like to be a kid. I was not
around for this time period, but I arrived a few years later (and a lot of
the furnishings, dishes, etc. were there), however I do remember what it was
like when I sent away for my Tom Corbett space helmet and how agonizing it
was to wait for it to arrive. I too checked the mail daily, but I wasn't
disappointed when it came (I was disappointed in the frogman that I got from
some cereal company- you put baking soda in it and it was supposed to dive
and swim- I could never get it to work right).
Bob Clark directed "A Christmas Story." He also directed "Porky's" which was
set in the 50's and the "feel" for the period is great (I should know,
that's when I grew up and he shot it at my school- I felt I was in a time
machine), so based upon those films, I assume the production values are as good.
Hope I haven't strayed too much from OTR but sometimes art forms overlap. I
also wonder how many of us are involved with OTR because of it's nostagia value?

on the collectibles market)
