PR Marathon
Here comes the August Marathon—it could almost be called a Suspense marathon—three of the six hosts are highlighting stories from Suspense. Plus there’s a full five episodes for Johnny Dollar. Along with those, we have episodes of Box 13, Crime Classics, Under Arrest and of course, Dragnet. A couple of Science fiction, some news programs from 1963, and a comedy show starring Phil Harris. But it wouldn’t be a marathon without a Gunsmoke entry. That’s on August 28, from 9 am Pacific (Noon Eastern) to 9 PM Pacific (Midnight Eastern).
