     From Those Were The Days

    8/22

    1947   After many years as a 15 minute daily serial, Jack Armstrong, the
    All American Boy, was heard for the first time as a 30 minute feature on
    ABC. Remember, if you want to grow up to be big and strong like Jack
    Armstrong, keep these three rules in mind: Get plenty of sleep, fresh
    air and exercise. Make a friend of soap and water, because dirt breeds
    germs    and germs can make people sickly and weak. And for sound
    nourishment and keen flavor, eat a big bowlful of Wheaties, the
    Breakfast of Champions, with plenty of milk or cream and some type of fruit.

    8/24

    1950 - The summer replacement radio show for "Suspense", titled
    "Somebody Knows", was heard for the final time on radio. The program
    offered a reward of $5,000 ($50,655 in 2016 dollars) for information
    that led to the solving of crimes. "Somebody Knows" began with the
    introduction, '<<196>><<250>>You out there. You, who think you have committed the
    perfect crime -- that there are no clues, no witnesses -- listen.
    Somebody knows.'<<196>><<249>>

    8/25

    1949   NBC debuted Father Knows Best. The Thursday night program aired
    for five years. Robert Young played the role of Jim Anderson, the ever
    patient father. The rest of the family included wife Margaret, son Bud
    and lovely daughters Betty (the eldest) and Kathy. The family lived on
    Maple Street in Springfield.

    8/26

    1939   Arch Oboler's Plays presented the NBC Symphony, for the first
    time, as the musical backdrop for the drama, This Lonely Heart.
