You Bet Your Life (1950-61)-1949 Episode
TV’s funniest quiz show thanks to Groucho Marx. George Fenneman made the perfect foil as the show’s announcer. Most everyone knows the phrase, “Say the secret word and the duck will come down and pay you a hundred dollars.” The … Continue reading
The Rest Must Die-Richard Foster (Kendell Foster Crossen) (1959)
Crossen is well known to mystery fans as M.E.Chaber. That series is about New York insurance investigator Milo March. He wrote a little SF and a comic book series The Green Lama. This book is beyond awful. A total bore. … Continue reading
Gambling With Souls (1936)
The evils of gambling, especially in a crooked club, can only lead to murder and ruin. Watchable because it’s not preachy and a look at what was supposed to be edgy scenes of women in..well….for the time, not much. The … Continue reading
Key Witness-Frank Kane (1956)

Twenty-two tracks for those that wonder what all the superlatives were about and a good introduction to one of the first superstars of the 20th century. Highlights include: “Where The Blue Of The Night (Meets The Gold Of The Day)”, “Sweet … Continue reading
New Scotland Yard (1972-74)
A good British cop show that follows Scotland Yard cops as they capture the bad guys. Some light spots but no dumb humor. I don’t know if BBC America shows it or some other cable channel runs it. If they do, … Continue reading
Hickory House Jazz-Joe Marsala
The Dixieland clarinetist is joined by Roy Eldrige, Benny Carter, Bobby Hackett and Eddie Condon for twenty-three tracks from 1935-40. A good collection for those not familiar with Marsala. Highlights include: “Wolverine Blues”, “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow”, “Jammin’ … Continue reading
