GENERAL MILLS RADIO ADVENTURE THEATER (compiled by Dick Judge)
First show: Feb 5, 1977 Number of shows: 52 Last show: Jul 31, 1977
Host: Tom Bosley
This was another of the great series that was aired during the revival of
radio's golden age in the 1970s. Broadcast on Saturday and Sunday evenings for
26 weekends and hosted by TV's Tom Bosley. Directed at the younger set the
shows were adapted from the works of Robert Louis Stevenson, Herman Melville,
James Fenimore Cooper, Jules Verne, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, Rudyard
Kipling, Sir Walter Scott and others; all classical and well recognized by the
public. As Tom Bosley would say "welcome to the world of your own making....
Welcome to the world of radio drama, a theater whose stage has no limits but
your imagination - where adventure is yours for the listening, where you can be
anything you dream - armored knight, lovely princess, magician or monster, hero
or even villain. Sail seas, scale mountains, explore galaxies, all in your
your mind." Can anyone add to that description? I think not.
