The original air date for this episode was June 23, 1948. This is actually the second audition show (now we call these pilots) for this delightful comedy starring Eve Arden, who was already a well known comedic actress. The role of Mrs. Davis (Connie's landlady) was recast and reshaped into a much more ditzy type. Similarly, the role of Mr. Conklin was eventually recast to feature the wonderful Gale Gordon. This is definitely representative of a different era, as indicated by Miss Brooks getting a ride to school from her 16 year old student. Mel Blanc provided the "voice" of the barking dog.

The original air date for this episode was April 13, 1952 when it aired on the Hollywood Star Playhouse. That led to the show being made into a series on NBC radio. The episode was then aired again on July 15, 1953. The Six Shooter was, quite simply, one of the best shows in the last part of the golden age of radio and featured one of the best actors of the age, James Stewart. One of the more interesting aspects of this western is the distinct lack of gunfights. Instead, Britt Ponsitt (Stewart) preferred to use his brains and his knowledge of what makes people tick to get himself out of situations he never wanted to get into. The show ran for only 41 episodes total, including this audition show.

The original air date for this show is August 3, 1964. This was part of an ABC anthology show which was an attempt to revive the radio drama. This was known as Theater Five because an episode aired each weekday at 5:00 (drive time) and there were five episodes each week. These episodes are about 20 minutes each so the rest of the half hour time slot could be filled with ads and a news update.

The original air date for this adaptation of a successful Broadway play was October 28, 1935. This comedy play was broadcast live, coast to coast, and featured two of the biggest stars of the day. The Lux Radio Theater was considered so important among Hollywood elites that film productions would frequently stop for the entire week a star needed when scheduled to be featured on the Lux stages. The star of this episode, ZaSu Pitts, was a huge stage, screen, and radio star for decades, mostly playing a zany character.
