    Subject:  Neglected Series

    It's not that television has not offered a great deal of memorable content,
    probably more than most human beings could view in one lifetime.

    But radio of the past, while best known for, let's say, "Gunsmoke" and
    "Dragnet," also gave us (sans commercials or any marketing whatsoever)
    something more.

    This radio gifting (it seems that the broadcasters truly appreciated how WE
    permitted them to have space on the airwaves and we the public were happy to
    buy receivers) was emulated for awhile by noncommercial television,
    particularly "educational television" and then "public television," until it
    was discovered that much more money could be directed to them if they gave US
    more Lawrence Welk and far less opera.

    Thus, public television does present "Frontline," but most of its attention
    seems to focus on high rating grabbers from England.

    Anyway, whether it was merely because there were sustaining time slots which
    needed to be filled with SOMETHING, or maybe the radio networks and certain
    local stations genuinely wanted to broadcast more than entertainment and
    news, radio did wonders to inform, enlighten, stimulate, educate the
    audiences.  I was fortunate for this companion in my childhood, when my
    family could not dream of owning a car, but we had several radios.

    Not sure if this subject has been explored before but I've put up a page of
    info / links concerning the 1940 Census and Old Time Radio:

    < [removed] >

    The 1940 Census being on-line and searchable is quite interesting, not only
    for old time radio but for your family as well.  I was able to find out that
    in 1940 my grandmother was the head of household of 4, including a boarder,
    her mother and a sister that I had never heard of before.
