In response to the call for reminiscences:
In the early 50s, when I was 5-7 years old, I occasionally went with my 
father to his job at CBS/WCBS in New York City.  I recall visiting the 
Arthur Godfrey show once, and I was boggled at the size of the studio, 
with row after row of seats for the audience (how many, I can't say for sure 
now).  Perhaps not surprising at that age.

I remember being introduced to the show's musicians, and Tony Marvin (and I 
never believed a person could have such a *BIG, DEEP* voice!), as well as the 
technical types.  But I think what tweaked me was the sight of people 
with food carts bringing around sandwiches, milk, and the like.  I never 
heard anything about that part of it, listening to the radio!

Years later on, in the (long-empty) studio once again, an audio engineer 
pointed out how it was equipped with motorized, sound-baffle vanes 
along the walls, to fine-tune the acoustics.  He demonstrated moving them 
for me, and it still seemed magical.

I was fortunate, also, to visit shows that didn't have studio audiences 
(mostly running on the O&O, WCBS), featuring Jack Sterling and his 
band, singer Martha Wright, and Jim Lowe (post-"The Green Door").  What a 
gas for a little kid!

I wound up jockeying disks briefly while going to college later on.  It 
ain't the same thing . . .

     creaking door, Can you guess what the other [removed]
     
     I have some information on "Raymond the gay ghoul", which I will post 
     later.
     ====================================================================
     The original sound for the creaking door was made by a squeaky office 
     chair!     The NBC chimes!

Marcus asked about Bergen & McCarthy's 1st appearance on the radio.  It was
on THE ROYAL GELATIN HOUR  on 01/17/36.  I do have a copy of this show. 
Marcus, if you will contact me at my private E-Mail address, we'll work

I know that this has been covered before, but I did not need it then so I
did not save it.  Can someone give me the family tree for the Reed family
([removed] Lone Ranger, Green Hornet etc).  If you don't want everyone to have to
see it again please email it to me.
Thanks a lot

                                1984  /  1985


     First Show: ??-??-84                            Last Show: ??-??-85
     Number Shows: 12 (both series)              Audition Show: none


     Show Description:

     The BBC presents two 6-part science fiction dramas.  SPACE FORCE
     aired in 1984 and SPACE FORCE aired in 1985.  Actual broadcast dates
     are not known.  The first deals with man's first encounter with
     beings from outside our solar system.  The second is an encounter
     with ancient Egyptian space farers.

     "Space Force" is the name of the space craft, despite what you may
     think that it's the name of an organization.  There are four main
     characters that make up the crew of Space Force for both voyages.

     Although a fun listen, it's fairly juvanile.  The science fiction
     part is good as is the overall production but the show is not that
     believable, especially for a modern series.

     For science fiction, if you haven't heard EARTH SEARCH and EARTH
     SEARCH II, go for that series first.  If you DO go for it, listen
     for the background music from the first Star Trek movie.


     List Comments:

     Like many modern radio dramas, this one is not carried by a lot of
     vendors or clubs.  However, there are enough sources out there and
     both series can be had readily.  Most vendors listed it as SPACE
     FORCE and SPACE FORCE II.  The show titles came from the actual
     shows.

WABC would fill my snow days from school.  I probably would have
