CBS Radio Mystery Theater 821231 Ending Sequence, Old Time Radio
CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) was a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was carried by the NPR satellite feed.
The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by a host (E. G. Marshall) who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre (in a manner similar to that of "The Man in Black" on yet another old time radio program, Suspense).
As with Himan Brown's prior Inner Sanctum Mysteries, each episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater opened and closed with the ominous sound of a creaking crypt door, accompanied by Marshall's disturbing utterance, "Come in!… Welcome. I'm E. G. Marshall." This was followed by one of Marshall's other catchphrases, usually either "The sound of suspense" or "The fear you can hear." At the conclusion, the door would swing shut, preceded by Marshall's classic sign off, "Until next time, pleasant… dreams?" Marshall hosted the program from January 1974 until February 1982, when actress Tammy Grimes took over for the series' last season, maintaining the format.
CBSRMT was broadcast each weeknight, at first with a new program each night. Later in the run three or four episodes were new originals each week, and the remainder repeats. There were 1,403 original episodes, all of which are included in this 2 DVD set. The total number of broadcasts, including reruns, was 2,969. Each episode was allotted a full hour of airtime, but after commercials and news, episodes typically ran for about 45 minutes.
In repeats of the show broadcast in the early 2000s, Himan Brown replaced E.G. Marshall's original host segments.
The program was pitched, at least initially, to an audience old enough to remember classic radio; Brown was a legend amongst radio drama enthusiasts for his work on Inner Sanctum Mysteries, The Adventures of Nero Wolfe and other shows dating back to the 1930s. Even young characters in early episodes of CBSRMT tended to have names popular a generation earlier, such as Jack, George, Phyllis and Mary. Many scripts, especially those by Ian Martin, showed a tin ear for 1970s youth slang ("Don't let her give you no run-around, dad!"; "I think bein' around here's gonna be kicks!"; "I dig a man who's far out!"). As late as 1981, Sam Dann's scripts included nervous or skeptical references to "women's lib", a term that was by then a decade out of date. In short, Brown made no attempt to broaden the program's appeal beyond the generation that had been raised on radio.
The debut of CBSRMT, only a few months after the American Graffiti phenomenon, coincided with the 1950s nostalgia fad that swept young America between 1972 and 1978. The program quickly developed a fan base among young listeners in addition to its target audience.

JEFFERY CERAGRE TIRGGER KISS 💋
Enjoy immensely BUT is it possible to cut approx 2 mins of silence off ending?
Love this.
I didn’t catch the playwright’s name at the beginning, but as I listened I began to suspect this to be an Elspeth Eric episode, and indeed it is. There is something special about Eric’s scripts. They have a certain feminine quality of perspective that I really like but they also have a certain depth to them that goes a little deeper than many of the other plays on _Mystery Theater,_ both emotionally and metaphysically. I’ve been listening to « CBS Radio Mystery Theater » for several decades and as I’ve gotten older I’ve found her stories to be, almost without exception, some of the best that the series produced. I wish she were still alive so I could tell her of my appreciation for her work, but alas, she died over 30 years ago, and now she exists in some ephemeral state in the ether of the airwaves.
So much static
loving the static it is so relaxing
is the title unknown? Let’s work together on this somehow -G from the future.
❤❤❤❤❤
There is another similar episode called "The Lady in Black." Same story, different color dress.
That kingfish should be happy Sapphires really blessed him just being his long long suffering wife!!
Boy, what a terrific program such talent comedic timing and precious dialect with colorful characters...also enjoy the musical interludes!!! Thank you for providing this wonderful recording!!!!
Thanks loved this show since I was a kid in 1942
Thank You ❤🎉🍀
These must be reenactors . Definitely not Lucille Ball and Gale Gordon.
Such a fun program
Very touching episodes
That was quite the broadcast. I understand these are possibly confusing times and maybe more than that but I have always had a special place in my heart for, they might have been called Suds or soaps or sagas or even, perhaps, washboard weepies and if that latter part is true I hope and hope there is more to come; just please don’t end the earth; I certainly hope that goes without saying but just in case. Anyhow, nobody asked me but I saying it anyways This show is exciting and fresh and I don’t know what that says about anything, even one time but come Hello or tidewater I am going to be listening come Monday with an open mind for no other reason than I like this show, the people in it and the character of the show and that is what I’ll be thinking about until next time: the curious term “show of strength.” AND I’ll catch you next broadcast. 14:10
Deep cleaning
2:10
Wow...i missed this earlier ..but an ending where in an extremely rare instance..the kingfish experienced good fortune at finish! Rare Indeed
Now that HAS to be June Foray.
Can you tell me the date of this broadcast?
The Shadow classic radio episodes are brilliant.
" ok !?!" Let me check those saddlebags we had 10 cows rustled this morning and i think you 2 are to blame... lol 😂 They're in the saddlebags..... 😂👍 luv it 😁
Listening from Ogden Ut.

JOHN KEATS - THE LIFE OF "John Keats was a poet who wrote poetry. It was shortly after this that he died, and so we find little of his work from then on. Among the poems that he didn't write was Wordsworth's 'Merchant of Venice', which was written by Milton. This being my favourite play, I am disappointed that Keats didn't write it, but he left it to his contempromentalies. Shortly after this, he died -" Heh, and people wonder why 'Yes, What?' is my favourite series with comedic word salad like Greenbottle's 'essays'.
Jack Benny rules !!
I can’t stand Jimmy Cash’s singing
Thanks for the upload….
Always enjoyed this great program here extremely talented actors and great musical interludes. Thank you!!!
