    Subject:  Juvenile serials, or series?

    Sara and/or Malcolm Long ask for children's serials, other than the
    ones they list (which they've already heard.) They then list nine
    programs, some of which are not "serials." Speed Gibson and both
    "Jerry's" are certainly serials, but Father Knows Best is not, nor
    Chandu, and for much of his run, neither was the Long Ranger.

    Some of the true juvenile serials (with continuing story over
    multiple programs) which are not on their list, would include:

    Cinnamon Bear
    Adventures of Superman
    Jack Armstrong
    Little Orphan Annie
    Captain Midnight
    Terry and the Pirates

    Other kids shows they might enjoy, which were complete in one
    episode, and thus not serials:

    Archie Andrews
    Bobby Benson
    Straight Arrow
    Sky King
    Sgt. Preston of the Yukon
    Hopalong Cassidy
    Baby Snooks
    Our Miss Brooks
    The Green Hornet

    Subject:  Re: Pseudonyms and Radio Scripts

    Mike Thomas asked:

    Yes, some writers did use pseudonyms.

    Most notable were E. Jack Neuman who frequently used the pen name John Dawson
    and Jack Johnstone who used the pen names Jack Bundy and Jonathan Bundy.

    E. Jack Neuman usually used the pen name John Dawson when he was reusing
    script plotlines he had previously written or adapting scripts written by
    others.
    All 18 multi-part YOUR TRULY JOHNNY DOLLAR stories by Dawson have their
    origins in radio scripts that Neuman had earlier written for several series
    including YTJD; JEFF REGAN, INVESTIGATOR; RICHARD DIAMOND, PRIVATE DETECTIVE;
    NIGHTBEAT; and THE ADVENTURES OF SAM SPADE.

    Jack Johnstone used the Bundy pen names when he was writing for SUSPENSE.

    In 2009, I wrote an article, "The Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar Multi-Part
    'Matter'" which appeared in the October & November 2009 of "Return With Us
    Now. . . .,"  The Newsletter of the Radio Historical Association of Colorado.
    This article details script reuse involving YTJD by several authors including
    Neuman and Johnstone.

>     If so, why?

    Reasons seem to be unclear.

    Normally only the pseudonym would appear on the script.

    Signing of for now,

    Stewart Wright
