United States13 years ago - The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio - Let George Do It
Bob Bailey is one of the many great radio actors who added his voice to many listeners pleasures to listen to many old time radio shows.
He is great in this show and in Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.
He is the best.

Canada13 years ago - Perfect mix!
Despite some complaints from Adam, I absolutely love the mixture of comedy and mystery! Sometimes the murder mysteries and such can get a little too serious and bland and this makes it fun and silly, yet still the show in the "detective" category! Kind of reminds me of a radio version of Magnum P.I because of his humor :-)
