There are many others.<br /><br />I think I might be harder on Nightbeat because I used to hold it in such high regard but it doesn't seem to hold up to what I thought it was.<br /><br />On the contraire, Lum and Abner is better than I remember it being as are some others.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06727628684761174393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730506450510174085.post-24483115180944885422011-06-22T12:24:08.482-04:002011-06-22T12:24:08.482-04:00You mention some shows cheat by leaving things out...You mention some shows cheat by leaving things out so you can not determine the bad guy. The biggest cheat in my book is Ellery Queen. All too often it is revealed after the guest provide their analysis. So they are usually wrong and so are we. Nightbeat I like because it takes place in Chicago and during the show it reveals places I have been at. Also, I like Frank Lovejoy's voice. It is a show that is in my regular cue just as Duffy Tavern is. I usually look forward to listening to Night Beat. I think that is my measure of a show.Boston Blackienoreply@blogger.com
