What Happened to Mrs. Forbush? - CBS Radio Mystery Theater

[@WayneBraack]

Used to go to bed and listen to this every night as a kid in the seventies. It's really great to hear this stuff again.

[@kimmccabe1422]

Wow yu were lucky. I'm playing catch up via phone. Nothing beats sitting around the radio!

[@Wildbunnies]

Every episode is at cbs radio mystery website, with the commercials and news

I think there are a lot of us like that here. For me it was on Friday or Saturday (and maybe summer) nights when I was allowed to stay up late. I would find it being broadcast from some distant radio station hundreds of miles away on an AM frequency at which you could hear nothing come daylight because of the solar interference. That added a lot of to its romance and atmosphere.

This is a delicious, old fashioned radio mystery. And I'm an Alan Ladd fan and especially love his voice. Thank you.

[@dianal.clausen8118]

OOPS, my phone got overwhelmed and burped. This comment goes with my previous viewing. I apologize, I can't recall the title. I'm sure this mystery is good too. I'm about to enjoy it.

11 September 2024 - Listening from my front porch on a chilly Kentucky morning. One of my favorite episodes. I love the image of the old house and the sound of a fog horn. Really love the old commercials. That self-absorbed, belittling husband deserves a nice divorce, IMO.

[@MichaelYoder1961]

Great story - melodramatic but eerie. And love the old ads (the prices were the most startling aspect of the show - lol). Thanks!

[@dianaantu8227]

great story, thank you.

[@lorrainevanlelyveld8065]

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for this. 😘😘

[@catherinecookson225]

Much appreciated.

Totally enjoyed it, have to agree with James Mason what the heck regarding the father, totally self absurd man of the house who doesn’t even believe what,s in front of him😮allow a child to jump on a rock because he wanted something. Mind you would I try to rescue someone in a boat with a hole in it and half full of water.

[@sandrasatterfield4432]

Enjoy the story ... don't criticize 🥴 If you don't like it...find something else😄

[@dontaylor7315]

There's a plausibility problem here. The mom should know her obtuse husband well enough not to insist she saw a ghost. All she needed to say was "A woman who called herself Lavinia Forbush..." and told the whole story without harping on the supernatural part. He'd be more receptive, the script would be more believable and in the end he'd still have to face the truth. The script as is makes the wife look irritatingly clueless about her own husband's nature.

So fun

[@stephaniehand503]

great

[@jaystermac9870]

Yeah ill let my son who cant swim just jump of the boat ....

[@ruthjeffery2539]

With a life jacket strapped on, but yes, generally far smarter to trust ghosts.

I’m a “Mystery Theater” fan, but I hate it when “Mystery Theater” has a kid or an animal, especially a cat, as a character. Unlike all of the other voice performances and effects used in production, those voices or sound effects are uniformly bad.

[@jamesmason8052]

Why does every dad have to be stupid in these stories?

[@donaldpaterson5827]

It’s all part of the many faceted attack on western civilisation. Those who would want to change our civilisation, the most successful ever are doing it by rotting it from within. They undermine the family, push excessive safety, and so forth.

[@WayneBraack]

@@donaldpaterson5827 No. I think you're putting a thing happening today by neocons onto these stories which where written decades ago when that wasn't happening.

[@donaldpaterson5827]

@@WayneBraack Hi Wayne, I’m not so sure it wasn’t happening years ago. All the folks who are in prominent positions nowadays were being recruited and brainwashed back then. There influence has been growing exponentially over the years and now is a force. I could be wrong Wayne. I didn’t listen to these stories as a young man, I listed to the BBC equivalent, I’d be in my twenties- thirties when they were being broadcast, which gives me some understanding of the period.

[@lorrainevanlelyveld8065]

What is wrong with people. Why put the stuff of 2021 as,a comment. Aren't you all sick and tired of hearing this stuff. Why cant you enjoy it for what it is. Its a story written in 1974. It's fiction . I remember when we listened or watched something for enjoyment. Why must everything be analysed and dissected. Can't we just enjoy a radio drama simply for pleasure. Sad!,sad!!
