In this week's edition of Vintage Classic Radio's "Saturday Matinee," we begin with "The Aldrich Family" in the episode titled "Legal Trouble," which first aired on March 11, 1943. This episode finds young Henry Aldrich embroiled in a comedic series of misunderstandings that lead to a humorous encounter with the legal system. The charm of the episode lies in Henry's naive attempts to navigate through his troubles, often making situations hilariously worse. The cast features Ezra Stone as the lovable Henry Aldrich, with House Jameson and Katharine Raht playing his ever-patient parents, Sam and Alice Aldrich. The episode is peppered with the talents of Jackie Kelk as Henry's best friend, Homer Brown, and Leona Powers as his teacher, Miss Eggleston, adding to the fun. Following "The Aldrich Family," we dive into the "Screen Director's Playhouse" for "Appointment for Love," originally broadcasted on August 26, 1949. This episode brings to life a romantic comedy where a successful playwright, portrayed by Charles Boyer, marries a no-nonsense doctor played by Margaret Sullavan. Their unconventional marriage, devoid of the usual romantic trappings, leads to amusing and touching attempts to navigate their love for each other. Directed with flair, this episode showcases the director's unique voice, making it a highlight of the evening. Lastly, we'll enjoy "The Jack Benny Program" in the "Easter Parade" episode, which aired on April 10, 1955. As we gear up for Easter next weekend, this episode captures the Easter festivities with Jack Benny's signature comedic style, as he and the cast prepare for the annual Easter parade. The humor escalates with Jack's vain attempts to outshine his cast in terms of fashion, resulting in a series of comic mishaps. Jack Benny leads the charge with his unparalleled wit, supported by Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson as Rochester, Dennis Day, and Don Wilson, creating an unforgettable Easter-themed spectacle. This Saturday's "Saturday Matinee" promises a delightful journey through comedy, romance, and seasonal celebration, featuring episodes from "The Aldrich Family," "Screen Director's Playhouse," and "The Jack Benny Program." Each show brings its unique flavor to the fore, from the innocent mishaps of Henry Aldrich to the romantic entanglements in "Appointment for Love," and concluding with the festive hilarity of "Easter Parade" on "The Jack Benny Program" as we eagerly anticipate the coming Easter weekend. Together, they offer a rich tapestry of entertainment that encapsulates the golden era of radio.

This week's "Saturday Matinee" on Vintage Classic Radio kicks off with "The Aldrich Family" in the episode titled "Valentine's Day", which first delighted audiences on February 11th, 1943. In this heartwarming episode, the Aldrich household is abuzz with the excitement and mixups of Valentine's Day, showcasing the comedic and often poignant adventures of teenager Henry Aldrich and his family. The episode stars Ezra Stone as the well-meaning but often misguided Henry, with House Jameson and Katharine Raht playing his ever-patient parents, Sam and Alice Aldrich. The cast also includes Jackie Kelk as Henry's loyal friend Homer Brown, and Leona Powers, Norma Nelson, and Charita Bauer in supporting roles, bringing the small town of Centerville to life with their charming and relatable performances. We then dive into "The Jack Benny Program" and the episode where Jack dreams that the New York Symphony plays his song. This episode originally aired on February 17th, 1952. This episode takes listeners on a comedic journey through Jack Benny's dream where the New York Symphony Orchestra performs one of his songs, leading to a series of funny misunderstandings and Benny's trademark vanity and stinginess. Jack Benny leads the cast as himself, supported by Mary Livingstone, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Dennis Day, Phil Harris and Don Wilson, each adding their unique flair to the show's blend of comedy and music. The "Saturday Matinee" closes with "The Abbott and Costello Show" in the episode "Opening a Marriage Bureau", originally broadcasted on April 21st, 1948. This episode finds the comedic duo of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello embarking on a new business venture by opening a marriage bureau. Their attempts to matchmake for their clients lead to a series of hilarious mishaps. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello star as themselves, with support from regulars including Elvia Allman, Iris Adrian and Mel Blanc who contribute to the laughs and timeless humour that the show was known for.

Welcome to another thrilling edition of "Saturday Matinee" on Vintage Classic Radio! Today, we step back into the nostalgic world of 1949 with three remarkable radio shows. We kick off with "The Aldrich Family" in the delightful episode "Gildy Goes on a Diet". Originally broadcasted by The Jell-O Family on April 21st, 1949, this episode is a comedic gem that revolves around the lovable character Henry Aldrich, as he finds himself in a series of amusing situations while trying to help his friend Gildersleeve with a diet plan. The talented cast bringing this episode to life includes Ezra Stone as Henry Aldrich, Jackie Kelk as his best friend Homer Brown, and House Jameson and Katharine Raht as his understanding parents, Sam and Alice Aldrich. Norma Jean Nilsson voices Henry's sister Mary, and the episode is peppered with the delightful interactions of the Aldrich family and their friends. Next, we dive into the warm and witty world of "Our Miss Brooks" in the episode titled "The Heating System", which first aired on January 9th, 1949. This episode is a humorous take on the everyday challenges faced by the beloved high school English teacher, Miss Connie Brooks. Played by the inimitable Eve Arden, Miss Brooks navigates through the trials and tribulations of working in a school with a faulty heating system, providing laughs and relatable moments along the way. The cast also features Gale Gordon as the blustery Principal Osgood Conklin, Richard Crenna as the student Walter Denton, Jane Morgan as Mrs. Davis, and Jeff Chandler as the biology teacher Mr. Boynton, all contributing to the lively and engaging narrative. Finally, we wrap up our Saturday Matinee with the melodious "Philco Radio Time", a musical radio show hosted by the iconic Bing Crosby. The episode we're showcasing, originally aired on March 16th, 1949, features the legendary Louis Armstrong as a guest. This show is a delightful blend of music and comedy, with Bing Crosby's smooth voice and Louis Armstrong's unique jazz flair creating an unforgettable listening experience. "Philco Radio Time" was known for its high-quality production and stellar guest appearances, and this episode is no exception, highlighting the best of what radio entertainment had to offer during the golden era. So, sit back, relax, and let us transport you back to 1949 with these timeless classics on Vintage Classic Radio's "Saturday Matinee".

The man you're listening to is William Froug. He was instrumental in bringing the CBS Radio Workshop back to the air. CBS was still airing dramatic programming on Sunday afternoons. In 1957 Froug became the VP of Programming. He took the position against his will. The CBS Radio Workshop, a reimagining of the old Columbia Workshop had debuted with the critically acclaimed two-part adaptation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World on January 27th, 1956. It was in its second season in 1957 and unfortunately on the chopping block. Froug stayed with The CBS Radio Workshop until 1957. Afterwards Antony Ellis took over Hollywood's production. Paul Roberts was the New York counterpart. On Sunday September 22nd, 1957, with no national sponsorship forthcoming, The CBS Radio Workshop went off the air with an adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' “Young Man Axelrod.” After the workshop signed off for the final time, Suspense signed on, directed by William N. Robson and guest-starring Jackie Kelk and Jeanette Nolan. At 5:05PM Indictment signed on starring Nat Polen and Jack Arthur. Indictment debuted on January 29th, 1956. It told stories from the files of former ADA Eleazar Lipsky. Episodes presented the step-by-step details that went into gathering evidence which led to an indictment. That was the voice of director and writer Jack Johnstone. In September of 1957 he was in his third year directing Bob Bailey in Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. This is Bob Bailey's daughter Roberta Bailey-Goodwin. Parley Baer was featured in this cast. After The FBI in Peace and War went on at 6:05PM, Gunsmoke signed on. Baer had been part of the cast since its first broadcast in 1952. By 1957 Gunsmoke was, quite simply, one of the most influential western in history. Norman MacDonnell was its director. Sez Who! Debuted alongside The Stan Freberg Show on Sunday, July 14th, 1957 as part of a week in which CBS Radio added $765,000 in new billings. Sez Who! Would be sponsored every other week by Look Magazine.
