--------------------
CBS Radio MYSTERY THEATRE is a radio drama series created and directed by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982. Later in the early 2000s the show was repeated by the NPR satellite feed.
The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by host E. G. Marshall who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre.
CBS Radio MYSTERY THEATRE was broadcast each weeknight, at first with a new program each night. Later in the run, three or four episodes were new originals each week, and the remainder repeats. There were 1,399 original episodes.

Thank you for the old time radio, listen as i fall asleep or on long drives. Much prefer the mystery shows compared to suspense.

I love this cute little story it's full of modern ideas. Well done the sound effects or well-done I can picture it in my mind. It's not over yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing the ending. Good work thanks for the story

[@kaybowkett7931]

[@ladyseersha]

Thank you ❤

[@jffitch64]

Concerned the radio is a tad too close to an open flame. 😉

[@gregmoyer8959]

That’s to help the tubes warm up 😊

[@thorvaldrhysbjrnson8720]

Surely the open flame is too close to the radio?

[@WVgirl1959]

No, it's on the table

[@gregriddle3042]

I bet the back of the radio is charred, but beyond anything E.G. absolutely MUST oil that damn door, I mean c’mon E.G. !!!

[@PeaceofMindEnterprises]

It’s not that close it’s a trick of the camera But only you can prevent radio fires😅

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

Okay, Smokey the 🐻 😂

[@loritracy1385]

😂 Oh how times have changed. Dorian broke off an engagement, drank a lot in his youth & went to the theater. The debauchery!

[@thorvaldrhysbjrnson8720]

What a fantastic movie the play about the hit man “with a soft heart” would make… Instead of being lazy and just remaking a film from years ago - they should earn their $$$ by doing some research and making a new movie based on a brilliant storyline like the hit man taken in by a pretty pair of legs! (At the risk of being called pedantic - the leg muscles of ssomeone confined to a wheelchair would begin to atrophy and even the most beautiful legs would stop being “pretty” quite quickly)

[@kathrynellison5636]

Thank you from a new subscriber.

[@spellbinders_of_suspense]

[@doctorseuss5349]

Yep

[@edwardroche2480]

How come Jennifer didn't ask him if he heard the phone ring?

[@michaeljames2084]

why does he need to talk to her via phone? Just speak to her internally.

[@cheriche2769]

It's all in the angle

[@mattbeilewech3517]

Oddly, it's rude to tell a hitman too many personal details.

You must get rid of all of scott's possessions, but scatter it to various places.

[@carycoller3140]

I'm SO glad Uncle Lou got dirt napped. He was a horrible person. That adult playing the kid voice was terrible.
