This book is a real find - for those who enjoy radio nostalgia but more importantly for scholars of broadcasting. From 1947 to 1950, while listening to such voices as Bob Hope, Red Skelton, Milton Berle, Jack Benny, Fred Allen, and Jimmy Durante, and shows like Fibber McGee & Molly, Amos 'n' Andy, Blondie, and You Bet Your Life, the author was writing down gags and quotations. He filled 11 spiral notebooks - and fifty years later transcribed his notes into this invaluable (in fact, unique) record of a boom time in American radio. This is an unexpected treasure for radio scholars, who have long lamented the paucity of recordings. Television researchers as well will benefit: Here are the root sources of television comedy. A notes and comments section includes background material on all the radio programs in this book.
