Hear hear! I'm an old time radio fan, and a lot of those programs are REALLY good. If you listen to the Orson Wells broadcast adaption of "The War of the Worlds", for instance, you can see why people freaked. Especially if they tuned in at the quarter hour, missing the opening credits by Wells but just in time to hear what sounds like actual news reports of something extremely weird happening in Grover's Mill, New Jersey.Atomic wrote:For those who've never heard of Fibber McGee & Molly: The Closet!AnotherFairportfan wrote:"Don't open that closet, McGee!"

I remember this as a running gag from "Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales". Never knew they'd "borrowed" it.Atomic wrote:For those who've never heard of Fibber McGee & Molly: The Closet!AnotherFairportfan wrote:"Don't open that closet, McGee!"

Well done, I was going to make, pretty much, the same comment(s). btw- rolling through the comments on that YouTube video are a hoot, esp the one about time-stamp 2:29.Aleister Crow wrote:I remember this as a running gag from "Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales".

I quoted five words from an old radio show and derailed the whole thread.
