    CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) is 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 repeated 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 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).

    Back in the day (before computers and social media) my dad would turn out the lights, smoke, and listen to mystery theatre. We shared a one room cabin and it was fun and scary listening to the programs all the while eyeing the glow from his cigarette. This brought back so many memories listening to this. Thank you.

      You are correct and Linda is observant. CBS RMT had to recycle a lot of scripts from 1930’s and 1940’s radio, but they were updated with one or two lines to make them seem recent. The “I served in Vietnam” line is but one example. It was still a great show and I loved it as a young boy.
