POPULAR RADIO PROGRAMS!

There were no television and we would look forward to popular radio programs of the day.

I will list some of the ones that I seem to recollect and were very popular.

Little Orphan Annie & Daddy Warbucks--My all time favorite. We would rush home from school to be able to listen to this program. The sponsors would have you buy Ovaltine and send in the seals (don't remember how many) to get a decoder in the mail. We drank a lot of Ovaltine so we would always have the decoder to decipher the next day suspense story.

Lum and Abner--These were enjoyed by everyone. It seemed to center around a pot-bellied stove in the Jot-Um-Down store if my memory is correct. It really was funny!

Gracie Allen and George Burns show--Here is one of Gracie Allen's recipe for Roast Beef.
You take 1 large roast of beef and 1 small roast of beef. You put these two roast in the oven, and when the little one burns, the big one is done. She had to be the smart one in the family to carry out this hillarious comedy the two put on to entertain us week after week. She would really come up with some ding-o-ling sayings, line after line.

Fibber McGee and Molly--This show always had a scene where Fibber McGee would go to the closet and everything would come tumbling out of it. It reminds me of some of my closets today.
I'm like Fibber, I'm going to clean that closet out one of these days. This show was funny as well.

The Fred Allen Show was on.

Eddie Cantor show.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto

Mr Anthony--A "Dr Phil" of radio--Such sad stories of families that were on the "Rocks". So foreign to the family of my "little" world.

The Hit Parade--Top songs for the week--I knew each one and this was a regular listening event.

You can go to the library and take out a lot of the old time favorite programs of these old time favorites. We try to take them on trips and it helps with boredom.

Today's Wisdom--The Bible contains all the nutrients for a healthy soul.
