Reviews

A Real Treat to Listen to Bob Hope


(5 stars)

These shows span several years (late 1930's to mid 1950's). Some of the comic monologues were time oriented in terms of events of the time, thus making it difficult for some not alive at the time to understand the references. Each show has a portion that has a comic dramatization, sometimes a take off on a movie of the time. A very fun show. As a Bob Hope fan, these programs are very much appreciated

Classic entertainer!


(5 stars)

Bob Hope was a classic entertainer and his shows are still hilarious today. It's great to hear the ones where he's entertaining the troops during World War 2 as well.

Large catalogue of shows.


(5 stars)

Many shows I've never heard before.
