The Martian Chronicles

By Ray Bradbury

Originally Aired August 18th, 1950

One of Bradbury’s most elliptical narratives, the Martian Chronicles teases its audience with plays on narrative voice and credibilty, weaving a kind of ghost story in which the audience is never quite sure whether the ghosts, the ghosts of Martians, or the Martians themselves are real or are the product of isolated explorers unmoored from Earth-ly ties.

Abbott and Costello: Who’s On First?

One of the most famous baseball comedy acts to ever take place was the following humorous exchange between Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. The words alone cannot do it justice, but it is still quite funny to read. The skit was originally done on the radio live (each & every time) until the legendary duo later included it on The Naughty Nineties compilation.

The general premise behind the exchange has Costello, a peanut vendor named Sebastion Dinwiddle, talking to Abbott who is Dexter Broadhurt, the manager of the mythical St. Louis Wolves. However, before Costello can get behind the plate, Abbott wants to make sure he knows everyone’s name on the team…

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

By Jules Verne

Originally aired April 22nd, 1953

Years before their appearance, Jules Verne foretold the submarine, the balloon, the airplane, the telephone, the long-range projectile, and many other inventions. But perhaps his greatest writing achievement was the complex but very human character of Captain Nemo, the tragic star of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. In this man we glimpse Homer’s “Ulysses”, Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, and ourselves; our dreams, our disillusionment’s, above all, our instinctive yearning for good. These are the things that make Captain Nemo and his great adventure timeless. And so it is with pride and pleasure that Family Theatre presents Gene Lockheart as Captain Aronnax in Jules Verne’s beloved classic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
