It is the only significant radio show that originated on television. Starring Richard Boone as gunfighter Paladin, he did the sometimes-dangerous work that others would not or could not do for themselves. That he did these jobs for a hefty price did not diminish the fact that he was a man with a conscience and he wined and dined beautiful women. The role was later taken on by John Dehner. He was a loner, a man of no friends - his relationship with the bellhop Heyboy was cordial but cool: Paladin was always "Meestah Paladin," and Heyboy was always Heyboy.

Inner Sanctum Mysteries premiered on this day in 1941 over the Blue Network. This show, like the later CBS Radio Mystery Theatre, was produced by Himan Brown. Well known for its creaking door opening, and the humorous voice of Raymond portrayed initially by Raymond Edward Johnson. Brown was quoted as saying to an assistant, "I'm gonna make that door a star." Soundman Terry Ross once told a story that the squeak was obtained by burying hinges in dirt then watering the dirt. After a couple of weeks, the hinges were dug up nice and rusty. No sooner had they set the door up with a great squeak than a setup boy indicated he had oiled the hinges to fix the squeak.

# Gunsmoke was on radio for 9 seasons, from 1952 to 19612. Six of those seasons coincided with the television series. # There were 413 radio stories, broadcast 480 times. # From an e-mail from Mrs. Howard Culver (Howie, the Dodge House clerk from the TV series) Yes, Howard was one of several who did auditions for the radio Gunsmoke, and he was chosen from the recordings with unnamed applicants to play Marshall Dillon. He cut a record (Matt Dillon was known as Mark Dillon in it), but since Howard was playing the lead in "Straight Arrow" on Mutual Network, his contract with Mutual would not let him play the lead in the Gunsmoke show. Thence it was given to William Conrad.

Amos 'n' Andy was one of the most successful Old Time Radio Comedy programs lasting over 34 years. Freeman Gosden and Charles Correl starred as Amos Jones and Andrew H. Brown. Starting in 1926 and 1927 as the "Sam 'n' Henry" show, then renamed in 1928 as Amos 'n' Andy, they went on to incredible success and popularity. During the Great Depression, their audiences reached epic proportions in part due to their common, average Joe approach.
