Couch and Coffee Table

Lux Radio Theatre is known for their film to radio adaptations and for this podcast we present Fancy Pants starring Bob Hope and Lucille Ball. This first aired on Sept.10,1951.

For this podcast of Couch And Coffee Table, we present another adaptation of Love's Lovely Counterfeit. This time around James Cagney stars in this hour long adaptation from Suspense which aired Jan.17,1948.

Today, it's another one time appearance by a unique performer. Humphrey Bogart in Love's Lovely Counterfeit from Suspense which aired Mar.8,1945.

Continuing on with unusual guests for the radio series Suspense, we present our second podcast of Suspense starring Danny Kaye. This story is called I Never Met The Dead Man and it aired on Jan.5,1950.

This episode of Suspense stars Danny Kaye in The Too Perfect Alibi, which aired on Jan.13,1949. This episode is unique because Danny Kaye is on Suspense, (not his only time) and it's also our one hundredth episode.

It's another Suspense with another comedian who did just one for the Suspense series. This time it's Red Skelton in The Search For Isabel from Nov.3,1949.

On this episode of Couch And Coffee Table, another unusual casting choice is made when Judy Garland appears on Suspense. Like Bob Hope, this would be Judy Garland's only appearance on Suspense. Judy Garland Stars in Drive In which aired on Nov.21,1946 on Suspense. Both this episode and the one before it with Bob Hope spotlight both of these stars who are really stepping out of their comfort zone and stretching as performers.

For today's episode we present Bob Hope in his one and only appearance on Suspense in Death Has A Shadow. This aired on May 5,1949 and also stars William Conrad of Cannon fame.

Mike and Heather discuss sympathetic monsters for this episode, along with a little bit of anti-hero and scoundrel thrown in.

This is another great film to radio adaptation, Lux Radio Theatre presents the radio adaptation of the 1944 film Laura. Airing in 1945 and starring Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney and Vincent Price who reprise their film roles here. It aired on Feb.5,1945.
