"Where the Elite Meet to Eat"


(5 Sterne)

One of the funniest shows ever to hit the airwaves. And it holds up well in 2012 (which much does not). Thank you a thousand times for uploading these great shows! (One correction...a small thing...the episode Duffy'sTavern-470122-Guests John H. Anthony and Minerva Pious It's John J. Anthony who was a well-known radio host and marriage counsellor back in the day. John was much-loved by the listeners and his death in 1970 brought a tear to many an eye). But OTHER than that (very small) thing you have done all lovers of old time radio (and especially old time FAMILY FRIENDLY comedy) a great favor. Thanks again! You get the HIGHEST rating!!!

This show is a BLAST!
