meAs originally conceived, Johnny Dollar was a smart, tough, wisecracking detective who tossed silver-dollar tips to waiters and bellhops. CBS Radio revived Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar in October 1955 with a new leading man, a new director, and a new format. The program changed from a 30-minute, one-episode-per-week program to a 15-minute, five-nights-a-week serial[2] (Monday through Friday, 8-8:15pm EST) produced and directed by radio veteran Jack Johnstone. The new Johnny Dollar was Bob Bailey, who had just come off another network detective series, Let George Do It. With a new lead and 75 minutes of air time each week, it became possible to develop each storyline with more detail and with more characters. Almost all of the Johnny Dollar serials were presented by CBS Radio on a sustaining basis (unsponsored, with no commercials); only two of the 55 serials take time out for a sponsor's message. Bob Bailey was exceptionally good in this format, making Johnny more sensitive and thoughtful in addition to his other attributes. Vintage-radio enthusiasts often endorse Bailey as the best of the Johnny Dollars, and   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  Broadway Is My Beat was a gritty radio crime drama that aired on CBS from 1949 to 1954. It followed the investigations of Detective Danny Clover (most notably played by Larry Thor), a world-weary NYPD homicide detective working Manhattan's "Great White Way"—the lonesomest, most violent, and gaudiest mile in the world. The show was famous for its stylized, noir-inspired dialogue and immersive sound design that recreated the bustling atmosphere of Times Square.  Episode Summaries The Joe Quito Murder Case (March 3, 1950) Plot: Danny Clover is contacted by Joe Quito, an ex-convict who has just been released from prison. Immediately after their meeting, Quito is murdered. Theme: The case dives into the dark underbelly of the theater district, where the "remnants of dreams and desires" often lead to violence and decay. The Dr. Robert Stafford Murder Case (March 10, 1950) Plot: The investigation begins when an unidentified, well-dressed man is found shot dead inside an apartment building elevator. Twist: The victim is eventually identified as Dr. Robert Stafford. As Danny questions the building's residents, the case takes a deadlier turn when the elevator operator, Eddie Amboy, is also murdered to cover up the crime. The motive involves a complex web of mutual suspicion between a husband and wife, each believing the other is trying to kill them Catch ALL our 1001 episodes and shows at www.bestof1001stories.com

Dragnet is an American radio series, enacting the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from the police term "dragnet", meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects. Dragnet is perhaps the most famous and influential police procedural drama in media history. The series gave audience members a feel for the boredom and drudgery, as well as the danger and heroism, of police work. Dragnet earned praise for improving the public opinion of police officers. Actor and producer Jack Webb's aims in Dragnet were for realism and unpretentious acting. He achieved both goals, and Dragnet remains a key influence on subsequent police dramas today.  Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.  1001 Radio Days needs new subscribers and reviews!  Please help us out and share with friends and family.

Bob Bailey, generally thought of as the most popular of the Johnny Dollars, brought a new interpretation to the character – tough, but not hard-boiled; streetwise, but not overly cynical, Bailey's Dollar was smart and gritty when he had to be. But Bailey's Johnny Dollar was also human. His character would get emotionally involved in a number of his cases. He had a streak of impatience, and would occasionally not fully listen to a witness and rush off on a tangent before realizing his mistake.   The weekday serialized episodes are generally acknowledged as some of the finest radio detective shows ever produced. There were fifty six multi-part shows in all: fifty four five-part shows, one six-part show, and one nine-part show. The serialized episodes continued until November 2, 1956 when the series again reverted to a once a week, thirty minute format. Bob Bailey continued in the lead, until "The Empty Threat Matter" of November 27, 1960, when the Hollywood run ended.
