The intention of this blog is to bring awareness to the almost forgotten media of American theatrical radio. To bring something old and new, in this technological age, to those who pass by and take the opportunity to listen to a media that has seen better days in the United States.

Of all of the programs, genre’s, styles and series, I have chosen one simple theme that truly showcases the talents, fun, and entertainment they provide: Halloween.

Beginning October 1, 2009 until Halloween, I will post one show per day in celebration of the season, as well as the entertainment these timeless performances provide.

Enjoy.

Day 5: Archie Andrews...

Everyone knows Archie…but not everyone knows of the character from the old-time radio series: Archie Andrews. Archie, and the entire hang…Jughead, Veronica, Betty, and the others, are all featured in this fun, light-hearted series.


The first incarnation of the show debuted on May 31, 1943, and continued as a five times a week, 15 minute show on the Blue Network until October 1st, when it became a weekly 25 minute series. This did not last long, because on December 24, 1943, this incarnation of the show ended.

In today's episode...It’s Halloween, and Archie’s plans of attending a Halloween Party at Veronica’s house have fallen through so he pleads with his folks to allow him to have the party at his house.

Archie’s excitement is high and his expectations rising, but he soon finds it's not as much fun to be the host as it is to be the guest.

Stars: Jack Grimes, Charles Mullen, Bob Hastings, others
Sponsors: Swift Premium meats, Kraft Foods
Network: Blue, Mutual, NBC
Aired: 1943-1953 (at "kid convenient times")
Type of Show: Juvenile Situation Comedy (based on popular teen comic book)
