Love the days when the radio was a major piece of furniture in every home! Of course, since the introduction of “high definition” television, we have noticed that a great many “television” shows feature action which boils down to a bunch of talking heads, whispering to each other in the dark! In the olden days, when we had some voices speaking to each other in the dark, we called it radio – but radio was a whole lot LESS expensive than today’s so-called “high definition” television!
Jeff smelled a rat. @EstrelitaI still like the radio programs. Classic Radio on XM. @Susan NewmanWhen we only got one channel, there was ALWAYS something worth watching.
In the early fifties my little family would sit around in the evening and watch the radio.
My mother and step father would light their cigarettes and grab their beers and nearly run me out of the room with the smoke.
We would listen to old time programs like The Whistler, or The Lone Ranger. The Inner Sanctum with it’s creepy door sounds occasionally gave an eight year old nightmares.
The tall ancient wooden radio stood about four feet high and had short wave, and other programs that it could try to reach. To paraphrase or to steal outright from Bill Cosby, I think that it was, the radio had two knobs that still worked. On-off and volume.

If only it was that easy to make today’s TV shows less cheesy…

Nice warm place for critters, what with all the warm tubes keeping the radio really comfy and cozy.

Find the laugh track. It was originally a recording of people laughing at Red Skelton’s jokes.

The 3rd panel is amazingly funny.
That has GOT to hurt!
I also love the question mark above Mutt’s head.

I love that song by the way… Thank you for introducing me to it.

Either that or the Inner Sanctum.
