In a message dated 95-10-29 02:25:33 EST, you write:

>Britt Reid will probably become a crusading reporter/columnist. Kato will
>probably turn into a hip, with-it, Vietnamese, homosexual.

This will probably start it all over again, the gay-black-asian thing.  But
it reminds me of how we all CAN bend over backwards to let everyone in
listening distance know that WE'RE not prejudiced.  A Jerry Seinfeld episode
has Jerry and his friend George portrayed as "gay" in a newspaper article.
 Well, you can guess that they are outraged. 
George:  "How could they SAY something like that!  We're noy gay!"  (pause)
"Not that there's anything *wrong* with being gay, of course."   


Jerry:  "Of course!"  (paraphrased from memory).

Let's put it in perspective.  I can assume that in a request for a show of
hands for those readers who are against prejudice of any kind, ALL will raise
our hands.  

Not that there's anything wrong with being politically correct, of course.

I don't know how many people caught Sunday evening's broadcast of the 1995
Radio Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. It served as the 75th anniversary of
radio celebration as well.

Let me tell you--it was GREAT!

The show started with none other than Paul Harvey narrating the birth of
radio. It was a spine tingling and exciting story with Harvey at his story
telling best. It was like You Are There for the birth of radio. All sorts of
radio stars were there. Wally Phillips gave a retrospective on radio comedy
with clips of all of OTR's enduring favorites and even Garrison Keillor. Stan
Freberg got inducted after this segment. Himan Brown was there with a
beautiful monologue on the superiority of radio. After a montage of OTR clips
of drama shows (including all our favorites), he gave an award to Les
Treymane. Harry Caray inducted Jack Buck of KMOX, ABC Sports into the Hall of
Fame. Casey Kasem and Tom Joyner did a retrospective on radio music. Herb
Kent, Yvonne Daniels and another black DJ from NY were inducted as black
broadcasters. Rush Limbaugh gave the Emerson Award to his friend and
syndicator Ed McLaughlin. Besides the radio lovefest, the only other message
that came across was three separate criticisms of Howard Stern and/or "dirty"
radio. I have no idea what happened to Tom Snyder or Larry King who were
scheduled to be there. I didn't hear them.

It was really wonderful, with lots of clips and nostalgia and a very powerful
love of the medium that bathed out of the radio. I first thought it would be
great to see this live. Then I [removed] am probably enjoying it more,
sitting here in my car as the rain started pouring on my way home from a
weekend trip.

The collection of commercial and private OTR libraries at my web site
continues to grow.  If you have an OTR collection, and want to include it on
my WWW page, drop me a note.

Subject: Holiday season OTR shows
Message-Id: <[removed]@[removed]>

Well it's just about that time when I put together groups of shows to
get people in a festive mood for this time of year.
Last year's Jack Benny collection was incredibly popular (and I may
assemble a volume 2 of Jack's most hilarious Christmas shows).

I've been assembling Christmas type shows for several years.  Most of
the more popular shows came up with scripts with a holiday theme,
including The Whistler, Escape, Suspense, most of the comedy shows like
Fibber McGee & Molly, and some oddball [removed] like the Fat Man
Australian show, "Murder Sends a Christmas Card," the FAMOUS Dragnet
Christmas show where someone steals a statue of Jesus from a church, and
a least one show (whose name escapes me at this moment) where Santa was
actually murdered.

Another famous show was the Amos 'n Andy Traditional Christmas show--of
which there are a few versions floating around.

I also have a 2 hour comedy variety show hosted by Gracie Fields called
CHRISTMAS ON THE [removed] referring of course, to the Blue Network of
NBC.

Yours Truly Johnny Dollar had an episode called The Nick Shurn Matter
which took place during the holiday season (part of the 5-part run), as
well as some of the other detectives like Dick Powell as Richard
Diamond Private Detective sponsored by Camel Cigarettes.

The trick is to find a collection of holiday shows that are somewhat
related that perhaps people either forgot about or didn't know existed.
When you have a moderately large collection, you can usually do that.
I seem to be struggling this year!
One show that DID NOT do Christmas oriented programs (at least among
the run I have which is over 400 shows) is LUX RADIO [removed]
But, The Screen Director's Playhouse did Miracle on 34th Street more
than once with Edumund [removed] once a half hour version, and also a
full hour version.

Any other thoughts, suggestions or ideas about Holiday shows?
I'm working on my Christmas supplement now, and could use some
inspiration!
