136. They may have played it on Garfield Goose

So very long ago and I remember it a little differently.

I get Super Circus mixed up with The Big Top, both were similar to Bozo with a ringmaster and clowns.

My dad bought our first TV probably in 1950 or 1951. I believe we were the 2nd family in the neighborhood to have one. Though I was very young, I can remember listening to the radio at night before we got a TV - The Lone Ranger, My Friend Irma, and Inner Sanctum. The only thing I remember about the latter was a scary voice saying, "The Shadow Knows". Even after TV became more common, a lot of the mothers listened to soap operas on the radio in the afternoon.

I'm sure you remember Ray Raynor though. For a time, it was like he was on every other show in Chicago. He was practically an institution.
