2+ Hours of Comedy

First a look at this day in History.

Then The Stan Freberg Show, originally broadcast July 14, 1957, 67 years ago, The Tuned Sheep. First show of the series.  "Incident At Los Varoces" (The El Sodom vs. The Rancho Gomorrah), an extreme satire on Las Vegas.

Followed by The Martin and Lewis Show, originally broadcast July 14, 1953, 71 years ago.  The last show of the season, the last show of the series, the last regularly scheduled radio show starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.  Gloria Grahame, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in The Bad and the Beautiful, does a sketch with the boys about her producing a picture of Jerry’s life.   

Then My Friend Irma starring Marie Wilson, originally broadcast July 14, 1947, 77 years ago, Irma Gets Sick. Irma gets sick just as Jane has to go off to Chicago on business.  Seems she invited the neighbor kid up who actually was sick -- with measles!

Followed by Claudia, originally broadcast July 14, 1948, 76 years ago.  Walking the baby...without the baby. 

Then Lum and Abner, originally broadcast July 14, 1942, 82 years ago, The Matt Muscrat Report.  A report by "The Masked Muskrat" as to the true identity of "The Black Pelican." 

Finally Superman, originally broadcast July 14, 1941, 83 years ago, Fur Smuggling. Two phony game wardens tell the campers to move out, but Clark doesn't believe them. Superman investigates a strange airplane that drops a mysterious package into the woods.
