Jack Takes On Fairy Tales, Mickey Rooney's 89th, Orson As Sherlock, Johnny Dollar Marathon

by gregbell 9/15/2009 6:44:00 PM

Here is schedule for the week of Sept 20th - September 26th, 2009 

Sirius 118 XM 164 PDF Version and the Excel Version or the direct link to the page HERE 

In a two hour Jack Benny special, the radio funny guy pokes fun at Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs and Jack & The Beanstalk. He also imitates the Bob Hope Show (with Phil Harris as Vera Vague!)  

To mark the 89th birthday of the still working Mickey Rooney (hilarious in Night At The Museum), we'll have an hour long Lux Radio Theatre version of "Strike Up The Band" co-starring Judy Garland as well as his 1953 appearance on The Bob Hope Show. 

A 23 year old Orson Welles takes on the role of Arthur Conan Doyle's famed detective in Mercury Theatre On The Air's "Immortal Sherlock Holmes" from September of 1938. 

And Johnny Dollar is back with the five part Cronin Matter storyline covering about an hour and a quarter. 

The Jack Benny cast, 1947. From left: Sara Berner (one of Jack's telephone operators), Artie Auerbach ("Mr. Kitzel"), Frank Nelson, Mel Blanc, Dennis Day, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Jack, Mary, Phil Harris, Don Wilson, Bea Benadaret (as the other telephone operator.)

While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!
