Old Time Radio Comedy Shows
Who doesn’t like a good laugh now and then? Have you ever tried listening to old time radio? If you enjoy good comedy shows, then you’re in luck. There are many very funny shows in old time radio.
One of my very favorites is “Father Knows Best”. The role of father is actually played by Robert Young, who played in the TV show by the same name. At times, I find myself laughing out loud at the antics of the Anderson family. All of the funny situations they get themselves are so clever and humorous. If you enjoyed the TV show, I think you’ll really enjoy the radio version. The series began in 1949, on NBC Radio and was sponsored by General Foods. The show was heard on Thursday nights and ran until 1954.
Another great old time radio comedy show is “The Bickersons”. This is a radio comedy that began in 1946 on NBC, and then moved the next year to CBS where it ran until 1951. The show is very funny. It’s about a couple that’s always arguing about just about everything. The exchange of verbal jabs is a real hoot. The couple is played by Don Ameche and Frances Langford. They do a great job in their roles. You won’t want to miss this show.
Or how about “Fibber McGee and Molly”. This series ran from 1935 to 1959, being One of the longest running comedy shows in the history of old time radio. Even after radio stopped being the main form of entertainment in America, this show was still running, due to it’s huge popularity. This was one of the best loved shows in radio in it’s day. It’s a situational comedy that’s sure to get a laugh from you. The shows was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1989.
Another one of my personal favorites is the ever popular “Abbott and Costello”. You just can’t help laughing at this pair of friends who are always finding themselves in funny situations everywhere they go. The most famous skits they performed was called “Who’s On First”. This is one of the most listened to comedy routines in history. They had their own weekly show starting in 1942. The show was sponsored by Camel cigarettes.
No discussion of old time radio comedy would be complete without mentioning Amos and Andy. What a popular show this once was. It ran from 1938 through the early 50’s. It was about the funny adventures of two friends that moved to the “big city” to start a new life for themselves. Of course, they always found themselves in the most comical situations that’ll keep you laughing through the entire show.
These are just a few of the hilarious shows you can be enjoying when you join the many thousands of old time radio listeners. But how are you ever going to find these old shows? It’s easy. There are so many people who love old time radio comedy shows that there are many websites devoted to sharing these fine old shows with anyone who may be interested in listening to them.
Why don’t you give it a try. Listen to just one “Father Knows Best” show and you’ll be hooked. Old time radio is a great hobby that’ll provide you with hour after hour of pure enjoyment.
