     Show Description:
 
     ESCAPE opened with the gripping voice of William Conrad booming out 
     over the airwaves:  "Tired of the everyday grind?  Ever dream of a 
     life of romantic adventure?  Want to get away from it all?  We offer 
     you - ESCAPE!"  Moussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain", the show's 
     theme, assisted Conrad in creating the right opening atmosphere.
 
     ESCAPE was heard on CBS from July 1947 to September 1954, although
     there were two pilot shows before it's first run.  The first pilot
     was OUT OF THIS WORLD: "Dead of Night" on Feburary 28, 1947.  This
     show was repeated as ESCAPE: "Dead of Night" on March 21. 
 
     ESCAPE, as a series, started as a summer replacement for SUSPENSE.  
     It then aired for the 1947-1948 season, on Sundays.  During the early 
     half of 1948, broadcast day was different on east and west coast.  It 
     switched to Thursdays in July of 1949 and continued to bounce broadcast 
     days for the remainder of it's run.  There were a couple of long gaps 
     where ESCAPE didn't run, for example, from August 30, 1951 to October 
     12, 1952.
 
     The show featured spine-tingling tales from such masters as Joseph 
     Conrad, Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allen Poe.  Produced by William 
     N. Robeson, this series is widely considered one of the best 
     remembered of all radio action adventure series.
 
 
     List Comments:
 
     There was frequent disagreement on broadcast date from one source to 
     another, although the separation was only days.  As mentioned above,
     there were times when ESAPE was broadcast on different days on the 
     east and west coasts.  Ed Carr's catalog actually had 2 entries for 
     many shows.  He had added "(East Coast)" and "(West Coast)" comments 
     next to these shows.  For these cases, the earliest date is given in 
     the date field and the second date is shown after the title in 
     parenthesis.
 
     NARA's catalog was the only one to show program numbers, but not for
     all entries.  Where there wasn't any doubt, I filled in numbers based 
     on NARA's information.  NARA's numbering counts the east/west shows 
     mentioned above as separate shows for the 1948 run but not for the 
     1950-1951 run.
 
     "The Adversary" is shown with 2 different dates on many sources, so 
     it's listed twice, once for 05-06-54 and once for 05-20-54.
 
     There are 10 shows whose titles did not appear in my sources.  They
     are shown with "?????" in the title field.
 
     Be advised.  I saw a log that slightly disagreed with my list below.
     My info is taken from catalogs and I generally require at least 2
     sources agree before using the info.  There seems to be a lot of date
     differences, and what appears to be errors, from source to source.
