Old Time Radio

Laurel_and_hardy I ran across this old time radio link online the other day. Found out there are more where this came from too.(below)  We listened to a show or two and had such fun. I tend to live a black and white, vintage-y kind of life anyway.  Ok, except for the computer part lol! Growing up as a latchkey kid I watched way more television than any human being ought to.  My favorite shows were always the old reruns and the classic channel, which btw was also the only channel besides the three networks and PBS.  I know, it’s hard to believe,my 20-something friends who cut your teeth on cable. ; D   But truly we had just that. On a black and white portable set to boot.  Thanks to this beginning I was well versed in Charlie Chan, Japanese monster movies, the original Mickey Mouse Club, Ma and Pa Kettle, and Blondie (the comics spin off movies not the rocker).  These online stations really take me back.

Should you have a hankering for old time entertainment check the links out!

  1. WOW – do I remember the good old days. When we went on family vacations, driving not flying, and late on night you would hear “The Green Hornet” on the radio. And Saturday mornings were always good for 3 Stooges, Laurel & Hardy, Roy Rogers, Lone Ranger, Charlie Chan, and the Bowery Boys. And they were ALL in black and white. Thanks for jogging my memories!

  2. Thanks for the neat links. My boys watch a lot of the Lone Ranger, Davy Crockett, Roy Rogers. Now we have them on DVD but I watched them on a black and white console television that looked more like a piece of furniture than a tv set.

  3. We listen to all those old shows too :0)
    I think my boys are the only 9 and 7 year olds in the world who know who Jimmy Durante is and know what your talking about when you say “ah-cha-cha-cha”. They also love anything pre 1960’s but it also could be because I’m really picky about what they watch lol.
    Here are a few other places we found radio shows :
