Horrible

I began listening with interest but soon the two characters mainly the wife became irritating. Her constant questioning and dialogue just took away from the plot. Many female characters in these days were badly written with insulting scripts. This is an excellent example. The writers constantly writer her as jealous and insecure. Mr. and Mrs. North is a much better program.
New Radio debuts

Amusing series but fell down on new debuts like shirly (Shelley ) Britton (? sp.) debuting as Kathy Blake who is then announced as Kathy Dexter in the Emerald necklace. All these women actresses have hoarse throaty voices at low pitches so I guess that was considered sexy at that time.
Abbotts versus the Charles series

This is a series that compares with the THIN MAN radio series, with Les Damon. Sadly, the bright writing and lighter note of the Thin Man shows are lacking here. I recommend Thin Man and give this one only two stars.

Thanks for posting these. Decent sound and interesting, if not entirely surprising, plots. I'd recommend a listen
