- Here's a great story from, "The man with the action packed expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator," Johnny Dollar. Bob Bailey stars as Johnny Dollar in this story about a sunken ship and murder. Join us, won't you?
I've listened to many of the "Johnny Dollar's" but the best is unquestionably the great Bob Bailey!
Agree. 100 percent
For sure ... 👍🏽
One of the best golden-age of radio sleuths.
The great Bob Balley, dreamy Johnny Dollar and let's not forget the great writer who creates this enjoyable and remarkable series. Applause, applause, applause. Regards to all my fellow fans from Chicago.
Thanks for doing this.
I'm in the insurance business myself, and I can tell you it's more exciting than many people realize.
I got hooked on Johnny Dollar on SiriusXM. It's great to have them here when I want to listen. Bob Bailey is the only Johnny Dollar I'll listen to.
Mandell Cramer is pretty good too. He was one of the last Johnny Dollars.
I’ll only listen to Bob Bailey too. He IS Johnny Dollar like Sean Connery is James Bond
Same here 👍😎
Bob Bailey was the best
Edmond O'Brien is great too, but the stories are short. It's a different style
Thanks, Bob Bailey was the best Johnny Dollar ever. I love listening to these.
I love this! more entertaining than anything that's out on TV or at the movies these days.
sjdrifter72 I’m new to it, but fan of audio over radio while driving. Missed golden age of radio by apx 10 15 years by date of birth.
I love radio classics
My own expense account is not even HALF as action-packed!
Wonderful!
SO much better than the junk that is on TV.
These programs would make cheesy tv programs...top tv shows are light years ahead in the writing standards. Radio was good for its time and it's nice to revisit...but the stories are one dimensional.
I love old time radio
I've only listened to half hour shows, I'm looking forward to these longer ones. THANK YOU! - sounds like the same guy.
SPOILER ALERT FOR EVERY JOHNNY DOLLAR SHOW;!!
When the girl is scared, super clingy, and begs to be kissed, she's always in on the crime. It's a Johnny Dollar trademark.
my kids and I love this! Thanks
Ahhhhhh those were simpler days 😚
Love Bob Bailey, the True Johnny Dollar.....join us wont you? Yours, Truly!
Johnny Dollar is awesome
Bob Bailey is to Yours truly, Johnny Dollar what Boyd Gaines is to Lawrence Sanders McNally series.... They own it :) Luv it! TY!
Johnny dollar is great 👍
🎙🎙💜💜Thanks 😊
The best Dollar episode I've heard yet.
I remember this on radio when I was growing up in Iowa.
' the golden age of radio' might seem a hackneyed overworked phrase but it is quite justified applied to the wonderful episodes of ' Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar '
SUGGESTED LIVE OUTCUES FOR EACH EPISODE: "Now, stay tuned for [Monday- 'ARTHUR GODFREY'S TALENT SCOUTS'; Tuesday- 'SUSPENSE'; Wednesday- 'THE F.B.I. IN PEACE AND WAR'; Thursday- 'ARTHUR GODREY'S DIGEST'; Friday- 'TWENTY-FIRST PRECINCT'], which follows immediately, over most of these stations. This is the CBS Radio Network."
Better than the box yours truly.
I'll buy that for a Dollar!
I know that phrase hehe! And yes Bob Bailey is the Best Johnny 💵! We're loyal like Cub fans.
Never forget they had her insured for a " Cool ass million"
Shanghai Lu, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen.... 10 seconds later...marry me Johnny ! 😂
Fare to san Francisco, so cheap. 😊!!!! 6:02

Sorry. Can't watch. Bailey's face ruins it for me.
This is a radio show.....you don’t have to watch the screen...
@@lavieenrose5954, you're right, but I argue that Bailey's face should have remained forever hidden from audiences -- and if not forever hidden, then certainly not on prominent display. Here's why. Johnny Dollar has the voice and manner of a handsome and smooth and fearless man. That was the intent of the show's producers, so to display a face that looks like Barney Fife ruins the intended effect.
@@TheWriterWalker You listed three traits of Johnny Dollar's character: handsomeness, smoothness, and fearlessness. As for handsome, I find Bob Bailey good looking enough, although not matinee idol handsome. But neither were men like Humphrey Bogart or Edward G. Robinson, yet many found them appealing. Smooth? I think that's more related to personal confidence than looks, and Bailey can play confident. And fearlessness . . . I grew up around fathers who fought in WWII and Korea. They didn't look fearless, they just did fearless things. My father-in- law, a West Point grad., was awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze and Silver Star fighting in Korea, but as a Captain in the Army, he looked just like the mild-mannered statistics professor he eventually became. My father was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for Bravery fighting the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. You never would have guessed his grit by looking at pictures of him in uniform where he was never without a broad smile. He owned a boring old insurance agency. When I look at Bailey's picture I see traits of Johnny Dollar you ignored, including: affabilty, kindness, intelligence, and others. Ultimately, I like Bob Bailey as Johnny Dollar because he was effective at playing a character who wasn't the typical hard-boiled investigator of the period. The fact that Bailey doesn't look like one of those tough guys is fine with me.
@@artmoss6889, I find your argument sound and impressive. I respect your father and other brave men for their sacrifices, and you're right about their looks and about Bogart and Robinson (two great examples). However, as a female trucker who uses radio dramas to get me through the long miles, the fact that Bailey looks more like Barney Fife than his voice indicates matters very much to me.
The whole purpose of dramatizations are to appeal to the imagination, correct? And no matter how nondescript or unattractive real-life heroes may be, I don't want the unattractive nature of real life to intrude upon the pleasure of my fantasies. In a word, Bailey's voice and acting are wonderful for radio...but if I picture his face, it shatters the illusion. After all, in many episodes, the script indicates that Johnny is so handsome he immediately charms the most beautiful women, often upon sight. I imagine, therefore, that Johnny is not only tough and sensitive, but rakishly handsome.
I'm beginning to grow weary of the 2 dimensional portrayal of the women in this radio series. You know, "I'm so scared. Kiss me, Johnny, save me, Johnny. " Come on. Johnny, we're not all so helpless.or conniving. Course, that was then and you can't rewrite the scripts.
Welcome to 1956. Despite the social norms of the day that seem to bother you 64 years later, this was a great show with some great writing and acting. You can't change the past, but that doesn't mean that shows and movies from the past aren't great.
That’s the way women were treated then.
Johnny's girlfriend in the later episodes, Betty, shows a lot of spunk, and so do quite a few other lady characters throughout the series. But to look through 21st Century "woke" lenses at the way this show and everything else in entertainment media in those days, is to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Get over it Sheila!!
Bob Bailey is a legend!
❤❤
