It's the essence of great comedy..... To be truly funny, without making it seem, like you are trying to be funny. Fred was a spectacular actor, especially in voice acting. I never truly appreciated it, till I found CBSRMT. RIP to Fred AND ChillySunshine, who both brought sunshine to my life, just when I needed it! 💜🙏💜
This is an all time favorite episode. Fred Gwynne played his character fantastically, considering the cast only did one read-thru before going into the studio to record the show. Himan Brown knew who would be best for each character. Bob Dryden, one of the men of a thousand voices and accents, was great, too.
Just because Sam Dann was a big part of CBSMT, and wrote this episode... I found this >>>>> ~ Samuel H. Dann was born May 18, 1918, and died October 26, 2004, in Delray Beach, Florida, USA. He received a Writers Guild Award for his 1975 CBSRMT script, "Goodbye, Karl Erich." Sam Dann is known for Kraft Suspense Theatre , The Further Adventures of Ellery Queen (1958) and Kraft Theatre (1947). Between 1974 and 1982, he wrote 311 episodes of the "CBS Radio Mystery Theater. He also Co-wrote the off-Broadway musical, "Tuscaloosa's Calling Me (But I'm Not Going) which ran for 429 performances in 1975-76 at The Village Gate. A Rainbow Soldier in WWII, Sam Dann was also taught visual and dramatic writing at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. He also appeared in 438 episodes of Radio Mystery Theater.
Sam Dann is really growing on me. There's some mighty clever language in the narration here and to top it off Sprinkles talks exactly like a Damon Runyon character right down to using only the present tense when he's speaking of the past or future; even the writers who created the Guys & Dolls musical couldn't manage to re-create Runyon as fully as Sprinkles does in this script.
I'm with you.... His stories are amazing. I went and found this >>> just for fun!😊 ~ Samuel H. Dann was born May 18, 1918, and died October 26, 2004, in Delray Beach, Florida, USA.

@@dontaylor7315 Lolz... Not worries! I finally got curious enough, to look it up.... And, I'm just nerdy enough, to bring it back and share it... 😆😆 At some point.... I need to look up Elspeth Eric. Such a great name... 💜💕💃💃💃
@@funniebunnie4u She's my absolute favorite CBSRMT writer and I have a playlist of 76 episodes scripted by her. EDIT: She was also an actor on radio, tv and the Broadway stage but I bet you already know that.
@@dontaylor7315 No I didn't... Thanks for the info.... The scripts, and the acting, in these episodes, is so rich. People that don't know, are missing out! Love from Texas! 🤠💕💃💃💃
Can’t get enough of Fred Gwynne!
This is one of the best Fred Gwynne I've heard. He is very funny without knowing it.
He knows it. He's the consummate professional and can be exactly as funny or as serious as the script calls for. We lost a lot when we lost him.

Herman Munster as a tough guy. Fred Gwynne is a charm.
I've been asking for a while; Why do people who work for/with assassins, mobsters, terrorists, traitors and tyrants always say, "It's just business?"
The logic of the story's main characters is as clear as raw sewage.

Pretty sure the whole "sprinkles" name fad is out among today's respectful criminals.
