Everyone Loves Old Fashioned Radio Shows

By Marissa Velazquez


It is a shame that there aren't any old fashioned radio shows anymore. Society has begin to only have talk events which are about drugs, celebrities and casual sex. It is a shame that people do not believe in the old traditional valuable programs which featured adventurous heroes and good average individuals. Years ago a few nights per week mothers all around would make a snack for their family and sit down to listen to these specials.

People everywhere loved to listen to the antics of such great comedians who used their voice talent to get attention from the audience. Programs like Abbott and Costello, The Adventures of Charlie Chan, Archie Andrews, Blondie, The Bob Hope Show, Burns and Allen, Gunsmoke and I Love Lucy were great entertainment events.

Lucy Ball was one of the first women who was able to make human beings laugh every night. She had perfect timing within her show and would always strive for perfection. Her event over the music box was later turned into a television program which lasted for many years. Over time these programs would always show Lucy getting into serious comical trouble.

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.

There is a very pretty blond woman named Blondie who can be seen in newspapers all over the United States. Many people do not know that this particular blond bombshell started her career through the sound system. Her original name was Blondie Boopadoop until she met the very clumsy and charming Dagwood Bumstead. This same program moved to television after many years over the wooden box.

Old fashioned radio shows are always fun to hear since some sound boxes still play them nowadays. This was a time when the movie and music industry were pure and had no nudity or profanity. The older generation remembers this time with great fondness and know that there will never be an outstanding character like Marshal Dillon from Gunsmoke. Some television stations in America still run these programs which started on the music box. People who are very lucky will get the chance to hear and see these videos.
