Old Time Radio Downloads > Comedy > Al Pearce Show

The Al Pearce Show, otherwise called Al Pearce and his Gang, was comedy series that aired on various networks (and under different sponsors). In this show, Pearce was a door-to-door salesman, selling a wide variety of products ranging from corsets, shoes, clothes, and cosmetics, to fire extinguishers, dental supplies, barber supplies, and many more.  He was the type of salesman who would always wish that his customers were not home, strangely because he was too shy face them and talk to them. Before he entered show business, Pearce himself was actually a salesman, so he had no difficulty playing the role.

ABOUT OLD TIME RADIO
The buzz-term for Old Time Radio is "OTR". OTR usually means radio broadcasting from the golden age of radio, mostly before 1964.These shows from the pre-television age include adventure, comedies, mystery shows, western dramas and shows from World War II. These programs feature the best talent of the day and were broadcast nearly as widely as cable programs today. And just like TV today, families would gather around their crystal radio sets to enjoy the entertainment together.
