Finding Out About Good Old Fashioned Radio Shows

By Marissa Velazquez


Before television was invented all Americans loved to listen to old fashioned radio shows. On certain days of the week a family would gather around this big wooden sound box to listen to all of their favorite events. This was also a great way for individuals to bond with their family members who were always busy during the weekdays. Mothers everywhere would make popcorn for the major event which would happen at night.

Individuals enjoyed hearing how George Burns and Gracie Allen were getting along each night. Gracie was one comical person who knew exactly how to make people laugh aloud. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were also the kings of comedy who lasted for many years. Bob Hope was always there to help soldiers in need during the decades. And no one could ever forget Lucille Ball.

"I Love Lucy" was an instant hit when it was featured over the sound system. This woman had a great amount of fans who loved her more and more each and every day. They could relate to her in every single way since she seemed like such an ordinary person. Her show moved to television during the 1950's and was still quite popular.

In private Ms. Ball was a strong willed individual who did not put up with any crap from her peers. She would fire people who disagreed with her and this made everyone quite frightened. Vivian Vance was in financial trouble at the time and had no choice but to work with Lucille on the television series.

People who enjoy comic books will be glad to know that Archie Andrews had his very own show over the airwaves years ago. He was an average teenager who attended high school with his unique friends. Archie had a knack for getting into trouble at school and during his private life. The Archie Andrews program had a huge audience while it was over the sound box.

There are many comic books which feature Archie and all of his pals. This program from the past made the book even more popular with the audience. Fans everywhere love to read about Jughead, Veronica, Reggie and the lovable Archie. Even today this book has a huge following and has earned large amounts of money.

Blondie started off on the music box many years ago and she is still seen in the comic strips of local newspapers. This blond bombshell was known as Blondie Boopadoop when the program first aired. Later she married Dagwood Bumstead and changed her name. This program also went to television a short time later. Baby Dumpling was also added to the cast once Blondie and Dagwood tied the knot.

"Gunsmoke" was one of the old fashioned radio shows that made it to television for many years. Marshal Matt Dillon upheld the law within his town and everyone respected him. All of the characters stayed the same over time with only a few minor changes once they left the music box. People everywhere should take pride in the actors who performed years ago. During this time this program and others were very clean with no naked people or harsh language.
