“If you like good comedy, you’ll love this book—truly one of the funniest books of this, or any, year.” – Laura Wagner, Classic Images “And now, here are Don Ameche and Frances Langford as John and Blanche Bickerson in… The Honeymoon Is Over” Those immortal words heralded some of the funniest husband and wife battles on radio. Written and created by Philip Rapp, the Bickersons had a career that spanned 30 years. They appeared as a radio skit on shows like The Chase and Sanborn Hour and Drene Time, then conquered television with Star Time in 1950. They’ve sold millions of Columbia Records, been installed in numerous ad campaigns, and almost made it as a cartoon series! This is a never-before-released collection of 13 of the best Bickersons scripts in existence. Including complete scripts from The Old Gold Show, The Bickersons from 1951, and Drene Time! Plus a rare, never-performed Halloween episode written for the animated series! ENJOY THESE CLASSIC COMEDY SCRIPTS FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF OLD TIME RADIO!

Welcome, gang, to the third edition of Baby Snooks Scripts! Let the applause herald Frank Morgan, Meredith Willson, Hanley Stafford, and Fanny Brice in rompers as the one and only... Baby Snooks! You might notice some strange things in this edition. These scripts are from a variety of times and typewriters, but as a completest myself, I like to keep things as close to how they were originally written as possible, to show you just how the scripts really were back then.
