Introductory audio gives general background on "Vic and Sade" and introduces the characters. This show is brilliant in that it is about normal everyday things that happened in families in the late 1930's and 1940's. The dialogue IS the show... written by Paul Rhymer, it was regularly broadcast from 1932-1944 and intermittently until 1946... 14 year run. The names of the characters are entertaining in themselves. This track will be stored in the Vic and Sade Playlist.

On Tuesday July 4th, 1944 at 11:15AM, the homespun Vic and Sade took to the air over NBC's WEAF in New York. First airing on June 29th, 1932, Vic and Sade was created by Paul Rhymer. Known as “radio's home folks,” the show was broadcast from The Merchandise Mart in Chicago. Rhymer wrote the script each morning before heading to watch the rehearsal and broadcast. On good days, one rewrite sufficed. On difficult days, the script would be ripped up again and again and poured over. The result was a standalone twelve-minute sketch that, over time, told the life story of Mr. and Mrs Victor Gook and their family and friends at “the small house halfway up in the next block” in a rural town somewhere in Illinois. The town was populated by strange eccentrics with some of the most wonderful names ever heard in fiction. Most of the characters were only spoken about and sound effects were purposely sparse, save for the ever-present telephone. In radio circles, the show was regarded as one of the all-time best. Among its devoted fans were Jean Shepherd, Norman Corwin, Jim and Marion Jordan, Carlton E. Morse, Stan Freberg, Ray Bradbury, and Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Vic and Sade was an American radio program created and written by Paul Rhymer. It was regularly broadcast on radio from 1932 to 1944, then intermittently until 1946, and was briefly adapted to television in 1949 and again in 1957. During its 14-year run on radio, Vic and Sade became one of the most popular series of its kind, earning critical and popular success: according to Time, Vic and Sade had 7,000,000 devoted listeners in 1943. For the majority of its span on the air, Vic and Sade was heard in 15-minute episodes without a continuing storyline. The central characters, known as "radio's home folks", were accountant Victor Rodney Gook (Art Van Harvey) , his wife Sade (Bernardine Flynn) and their adopted son Rush (Bill Idelson).

This week on Golden Age Radio, host Bob Gariepy presents "Vic and Sade," written by Paul Rhymer, is the tale of a married couple living in "the small house halfway up in the next block."

 Sponsered by Crisco. Written by Paul Rymer. The show was one of the leaders in the afternoon serials. A soap opera of sorts. Since the sponser was Crisco, maybe we should call them a shortening opera? Though not jam-packed full of jokes, the humor had a subtle approach in the way the characters interacted. Vic was prone to absurd plays on words, and though not mentioned in these episodes, was deeply involved in his lodge. An activity that Sade considered silly, but she tolerated it. Sade had her own pet phrases, and was one who was intent on keeping up social appearances. One notable feature of the show was that it was written entirely by Paul Rymer. Every episode for the long run of the series, something like over 6000 of them, came from the mind of only one person. Legend has it that when a show was running short for time, Paul Rhymer would be in the other room, typing up extra pages of enough dialog to finish out the show. 430318ApplerotPicksOnDottie.
