Vic and Sade (2)

Paul Rhymer

(3.6 étoiles; 6 critiques)

Visit radio's homefolks in the Small House Half-way up in the Next Block. Vic and Sade was the most popular show of its kind in the history of radio, winning numerous awards and topping the ratings for many years. For the majority of its time on the air, it was presented in fifteen-minute episodes without a continuing plot.

The show featured the three voices of the main characters, but their world was populated by countless characters with whom the listener became intimately acquainted. When the actor who played Vic became ill, a second male character, Uncle Fletcher, was added to the cast. Additionally, when the actor who played Rush was called into service during WWII, another young voice was brought in to take his place.

The series was written by Paul Rhymer for the entire length of the program's run, which lasted from 1932 to 1944, with additional broadcasts in 1945 and 1946, and television stints in 1949 and 1957. Some 3500 episodes in all have survived.
