Professional But Small-Town Comedy

It might be unfair to call this a low-budget show, despite the orchestrations consisting of a solo Wurlitzer organ. Dick Lane and Walter Tetley had long experience in network radio; Lane has already begun moving into television when these discs were cut (and became the voice of pro wrestling in southern California). Herbert Rawlinson was a veteran, too. Cartoon fans will be happy to hear the voice of Doggie Daddy, Doug Young. In episode three, for example, he uses his real voice as an announcer and doubles as a shyster lawyer in the second half. Ray Erlenborn was a top sound effects man at NBC. He acts as well. There's no audience so this would have been recorded at a small studio in Hollywood. Tetley's kid character is not of the obnoxious variety (listen to Phil Harris/Alice Faye for examples). He talks to the radio audience, saying "Here we go again, folks," like in a Beary Family cartoon. This isn't a great sitcom, but probably filled programming nicely on small-town stations.
Quite Uplifting

I'm a big fan of OTR programs, & listen to hours almost every evening in place of TV. I just discovered The Anderson's and have listened to 5 of the 30 episode of the 30 episodes listed here. I have had a little smile on my face at the close of each one, just because of the simplicity and straight-forwardness of the piece. They are a welcome respite among many dark, busy, thought-provoking programs. Count me in as a fan!
Delightful
