- Quotes
Doug Thompson: Wow, Betty, I don't know how often I'm likely to find you running down the hall after me! It's sort of, you know, The Dream!
Betty Roberts: Oh, well, Doug, I need to ask you something. In private.
Doug Thompson: Son of the Dream!

Adorable
I miss this show. Sadly, I also missed a large portion of the series' final run due to awkward scheduling. But what I remember about it can still bring a smile to my face. I won't even try to name all the things I liked about the show. I loved the way Mr. Foley's every attempt to speak was invariably thwarted by someone who had something ever-so-important to say right at that moment. Then there was the teddy bear-like Mackie Bloom, always a welcome sight. And it never hurt to see the pretty face of Betty Roberts, either. Her sweetness, among other delights in this show, makes me long for a more innocent time and place. Wow, how profound! So sue me (in the modern tradition).
A Halloween episode, for me, stands out as an absolutely hilarious example of what made me look forward to dropping in on these quirky old-time radio players on a regular basis. Mr. Foley, by the way, was the station's sound-effects provider. Ever heard of Foley artists in film and television? Coincidence? I think not!
So, did Mr. Foley ever get his chance to actually verbalise a thought or opinion? I hope to find out someday.
