Hopalong Cassidy - Single Episodes


(5 Sterne; 1 Bewertung)

HOPALONG CASSIDY The Hopalong Cassidy radio program ran from 1948 to 1952, and was based on the popular movie and television series featuring William Boyd as Hopalong Cassidy. Hopalong Cassidy was the star of a series of novels set at the Bar 20 Ranch. They were written by Clarence E. Mulford over a span of 35 years, and had been the basis for a series of 66 movies between 1935 and 1948. The movies were adapted into a television show that originally ran at the same time as the radio program, and the licensing blitz that followed the show's popularity made "Hoppy" into one of the first multimedia sensations. The radio show featured new adventures, as well as adaptations of the popular movies and some of the TV episodes. William Boyd voiced Hopalong Cassidy, and Andy Clyde co-starred as California Carson, Hoppy's sidekick in many of the later movies. From the Old Time Radio Researchers Group.

Hopalong Cassidy on the airwaves


(4 Sterne)

The Hopalong Cassidy radio series is a well-produced, well-acted body of work, comprising over 100 episodes. William Boyd voices Hoppy in all of these. Andy Clyde plays California Carlson in about 82 of the stories, and is replaced by another, unnamed actor in the remainder of the programs. (Clyde can be heard in episodes 01 to 36, and episodes 57 to 108.) No explanation is given as to why Clyde was replaced for about a 6-month period. Other actors in the series remain uncredited, alas. I think I heard Frank Lovejoy in a few parts, but I can't swear to it. There are other voices familiar to radio drama devotees of the period, but I can't reliably put names to them. The stories are generally exciting and well-done, with many taking their plots from one of the 66 Hoppy movies. I recognized a dozen or more of these. Though many of the episodes suffer from poor sound, I heartily recommend the Hoppy chronicles to lovers of old time Westerns. Cowboy Ray
