Ok so are you going to give us another clue now?
Wait a sec, I just re-read this part of the thread. Was the show only on radio?
It was only on radio, unless you count some comic books it was also in.
Calumet Indians (Sheb Wooley - 1940's)?
I could not stand it any more I confess I did a web search.
Here is the best clue I can give - took it from a website just now.
It was the days before television. Between 1948 and 1951, kids in Hazard listened to ________ _____, a Western. To friends and neighbors alike, Steve Adams appeared to be nothing more than the young owner of the Broken Bow cattle spread. But when danger threatened innocent people...and when evil doers plotted against justice...then Steve Adams disappeared and in his place came a mysterious Indian...wearing the dress and war paint of a Comanche, riding the great golden palomino, Fury...galloping out of the darkness to take up the cause of law and order throughout the West. He was the legendary ________ _____. While the Lone Ranger had a secret silver mine, ________ _____ had a secret gold cave. Here he kept his horse, "Fury", and his Comanche weapons, attire, and war paint. For a time the program alternated with Bobby Benson and the B-Bar-B Riders on WKIC. ________ _____ was broadcast as a 30-minute episode three times a week until February 1950 and then it went to twice a week until the show ended in June 1951. Every episode started out with its distinctive signature: Milt Charles would imitate a tom-tom drum on his organ. Howard Culver played the lead role. He died in 1984
Straight Arrow?
Tonto and the Lone Ranger?
Straight Arrow, Joanne. You see? You knew it all along.
It was definitely in there roam around in the cob webs.
This show began on radio. I never got to see the television version of it, but I think it alternated on there with Dragnet for a time. Taken from real crime stories, the narrators were different prison wardens and the like, "by proxie", or something, meaning they were actors probably. It always began with guns and sirens before they told each story.
Sure was Gangbusters. (I have been asking most of the questions because the ones who get it right generally don't follow up with their own questions)
Because of this show, I refer to October 4th as
"Broderick Crawford Day"
Are you referring to Highway Patrol?
"Highway Patrol", it is!
10-4.
He was radio's little elf who wanted more than anything else in the whole world to be a real live boy - oh, and his father figure pal -
Hehad serialized adventures. Among the cast of chracters were Mayor Plumpfront and Eukie Butcha.
The show featured five chapters, fifteen minutes each, weekly. On Saturdays it lasted an hour, beginning with the theme: Teddy Bear's Picnic. The serial was forgotten on this day. There were skits featuring the cast and Gil Hooley's Marching Band to lead us around the room.
This program survives today on a Christian radio network. Only now, the little elf is "the little guy" - no elfs allowed in Christendom - The original players are long gone, but the show sounds very much the same.
The show is Big John and Sparkie. Anybody wish to ask the next question, I leave the floor to you.
I always loved it whenever Uncle Tannous made an appearance.
What was the name of Wilbur's wife on Mr. Ed?
