In the year 1952, the airwaves were filled with the razor-edged wit and barbed humor of the talented Ms. Irene Dunne as she played the tough and slightly cynical newspaper editor, Susan Armstrong on Bright Star.  Bright Star was an amusing albeit rather short-lived old time radio comedy serial that focused on the trials and tribulations that a smalltown newspaper went through.  Fred MacMurray provided the perfect foil for Dunne and played the role of ace reporter for the Hillsdale Morning Star, George Harvey.  The two would often clash as Harvey's idealism would often chafe and irritate the more worldly Armstrong, and their verbal sparrings would result in highly entertaining comedic fun.

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.


WHO TODAY LISTENS TO THESE OLD TIME RADIO PROGRAMS?

Recently OTR was sold and traded, on records and cassettes, by people who had grown up during the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's who had grown up listening to these shows. With the internet and mp3s, new generations of listeners are discovering these delightful old time radio shows and to their surprise, enjoying them immensely. Some of the references and nuances are out of date, but it turns out that a well told story is a delight to young and old alike.
