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.

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.

Many teenagers in society can really relate to Mr. Archie Andrews and his very funny friends. Archie and Jughead started off in the comic pages but soon moved to the wooden box over time. They had many adventures at their high school and even started a rock band some years later. This show featured many unknown actors who had great voice talents.

Luckily the comic book itself is still a great success today and people everywhere are still laughing at Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica and Reggie Mantle. This is one franchise that has made millions of dollars over the years and Archie will always remain a student at Riverdale High.

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.

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.
