Top Notch Programing


(5 stars)

"The Aldrich Family" is tied with "The Life of Riley" in my book as the best programs of the day! This is just like the sitcoms that came to follow, such as Leave it to Beaver, Happy Days, and even Boy Meets World. It shows a snapshot of a typical american boy and his adventures! Although these were made in the 40s, they still have the universal appeal that comes from dealing with growing up. I love this program and hope many others give it a shot. You will never forget Ezra Stone as Henry responding to "Henryyyyyyyy... Henry Aldrich" with "Coming mother!" I may not sound memorable, but trust me - that sound bit will stick with you forever and will instantly take you back to all of the trouble Henry gets into.

Variable


(3 stars)

I've heard 3 eps of this series and I'd say it's pretty variable. One was very nice, clever and funnier than I thought a family-oriented comedy centered around a young boy would be. The other two were only mildly diverting and not much fun. I plan to listen to more than just this so I can draw a better bead on this show.

Good and realistic sitcom


(5 stars)

Realistic sitcoms like Leave it to Beaver, Happy Days and Boy meets World (Even though it has drama in it), is a very good radio sitcom that predates Television sitcoms.

some files not downloaded


(4 stars)

Some of the files are not downloaded right. Some of the files needed to be restreamed again. Otherwise I love this show lots.
