I love listening to old radio shows, there are quite a few shows from back then that seem so unfunny - Amos & Andy, The Bickersons, My Favorite Husband, Fibber McGee & Molly. Jack Benny is great, I also like Our Miss Brooks and The Aldritch Family (sp?). Maybe it's because of the generation gap in humor?
They rebroadcast old radio shows here locally years ago and my father taped them. He loved The Lone Ranger and we got The Green Hornet, Fibber McGee And Molly, The Shadow, Superman, and a bunch of others.
A lot of these old radio broadcasts are available on the internet. Seriously. Good times! I don't go for depicting stereotypes at all, but the rest of it...they do story lines in 20 minutes.
