     Gale Gorden is one of my favorite radio and early TV actors. He
seemed to have made a career out of playing the officious authority
figure (Mr. Conklin the principal, Mr. Moody the bank president, Mr.
Wilson the stuffy neighbor, Mr. ). I haven't seen a mention yet of his
staring role on Granby's Green Acres where he plays a cityfied executive
who moves his family to the bucolic country. (In the second episode he
reluctantly gets the house electrified.) This isn't one of my favorite
Gale Gorden roles. In his early years, he also was a star of Cinnamon
Bear, a children's show.

Opps! Sorry, That was a typo. I meant to say CAR not CAT. As in tape player.
Boy I got a real laugh out of this response. Thanks Mickey.

I found the following realaudio sites having sound clips and complete shows.
Anyone know of others perhaps in .wav or .au formats plus realaudio sites I
missed?
Can't find anything else with yahoo.

[removed] (complete RA shows as far as I can tell)

[removed] (Good otr radio & scifi sections in RA format. I
listened to several hours of Metropolis last night! Sounded just like a
radio show.)

[removed] (this site has you D/L ftom [removed])

I'd like to know if any OTR tapes available have the original commercials
intact?
Had a Radio Reruns tape with some in the show but it wore out due to age.

IN REPLY TO CHERYL WILLIAMS - RE: AMOS & ANDY --You are perfectly right
about the A & A shows. I can't answer why WHEN RADIO WAS doesn't ever
feature the A & A shows, but I do on HERITAGE
RADIO THEATRE on the YESTERDAY-USA SATELLITE NETWORK, and have for
13+years always featured the show many times a year, and almost always the
very beautiful Christmas Story.  I found them a litle stereotyping, but no
worse than what radio writers did to Jews, Chinese, Italians, Irsh or just
about any ethnic group. It was another time, and people were not so
sensetive. Black people loved (and still do) the A & A show, and saw in it
two characters diametrically opposed to one another. One a middle class
family man and small-business owner whose ethics and scruples were above
reproach - the other, a lovable con-man who would con his own mother out
of her gold teeth. There was no connection between the latter's activities
and racism, anymore than with the former.  Abie's Irish Rose was a
wonderful example of Irish/Jewish humor combined in one show. I REMEMBER
MAMA depicted an immigrant Scandanavian family making ends meet in a
difficult time in the US. The GOLDBERG's with that wonderful Mollie Berg
showed our common foibles with people of every ethnic and cultural
background. These programs were not discriminatory or racist as some would
have us believe. They were a barometer of changing times, and were not
considered offensive to anyone. How would Jack Benny ever have had those
wonderful visits without Mr. Kitzel? No group was exempt from a bit of
stereotyping - what mystery/crime show can you recall that didn't have
Irish policemen? One must remember the times and the evolution which was
taking place, and continues to take place today, in order to understand
how ethnic characters and sterotyping was acceptable. I think you really
had to have lived through it.
HERITAGE RADIO CLASSICS, RADIO YESTERYEAR and many other reputable dealers
have long marketed A & A videos and radio tapes. Write me if you wish, and
we can discuss it further.

In digest #411, Joe Oliver asked:
<<         I'll appreciate it if someone who knows will e-mail me privately
and
 tell me if commercials are cut or included in the Radio Spirits' Suspense
 sets at $[removed]  I'll be pleasantly suprised if they're included.
  >>

  They are included on volume 1, when the program was sponsored by Autolite.
 I just listened to one episode on volume 2, and there weren't any
commercials on that episode.

Hello to all you OTR experts! I was recently listening to an episode 
of "The Falcon" and the actor who potrayed the Falcon sounded very 
similar to the actor who played the Avenger. Does anyone know if they 
are one and the same ? Also can anyone direct me to some good books 
on OTR ? I am rather new to collecting and would like to get some 
info on these shows I've been getting! Thanks in Advance.
