Stan Freberg's short-lived (15 episodes) CBS radio Sketch Comedy series on from 1957, featuring the voices of Daws Butler, June Foray and Peter Leeds. Greatly influenced The Firesign Theatre in their audio recordings.Sketches written for the show by Freberg and producer Peter Barnum (and often regular Daws Butler as well) included:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) "Incident at Los Voraces": A tale of a city destroyed by escalating competition between two casinos. "The Zazaloph Family": The greatest stunt troupe radio audiences can never see. "Uninterrupted Melody": A good and humorous look at the lives of the men who compose ice cream truck jingles. Based on a piece Freberg wrote for MAD. "Gray Flannel Hat Full of Teenage Werewolves": A werewolf lives by day as an advertising man on Madison Avenue. "Bang Gunleigh, U.S. Marshal Field": A parody of radio westerns like Gunsmoke and Tales of the Texas Rangers. "The Lone Analyst": A satirical parody of The Lone Ranger and the power of psychoanalysis. "Sam Spillade": Film Noir with no plot, just a private eye getting knocked unconscious every two minutes.The show also recreated many parodies from Freberg's classic comedy records ("St. George and the Dragonet," "Wun'erful, Wun'erful," "The Honeyearthers," "Day-O," "Sh-Boom"), and included musical interludes with Peggy Taylor, the Jud Conlon Rhythmaires, and Billy May and His Orchestra.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
