Radio Shadow was more scary. Since you couldn’t see him in the guise anyway Lamont was unneeded to the thriller action. Late 30’s mom got a tall leg Stromberg Carlson and had dad cut the legs down so we’d set in front and watch the little yellow dial. All the pop shows, Super, Ranger, Ryder, Midnight, Armstrong had comics so imagination took it from there and ANYTHING was possible in full color before TV was even B&W. Sound effects people were something to watch in a studio. Think most cutesy was the little door to open and close and even lock turning the key. To walk away you spoke to the dead side of same mike dropping script sheets to the floor as it went on. Ovaltine flew off shelves but was yukky powder even in a shakeup mug. Millions of box tops went in box cars to Minneapolis MN. Were the days! 8
