Lum and Abner Old Time Radio MP3 Collection on DVD | |
|
Lum and Abner, an American radio comedy which aired as a network program from 1932 to 1954, became an American institution in its low-keyed, arch rural wit. One of a series of 15-minute serial comedies that dotted American radio at its height as America's number one home entertainment, others included Amos 'n' Andy, Easy Aces, The Goldbergs, and Vic and Sad, Lum and Abner included various elements of each and became somewhat of an institution. Lauck and Goff had known each other since childhood and attended the University of Arkansas together. They performed locally and established a blackface act which led to an audition at radio station KTHS in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Prior to the audition, the two men decided to change their act and portray two hillbillies, since there were already an overabundance of blackface acts at the time. After only a few shows in Hot Springs, they were picked up nationally by NBC, and Lum and Abner, sponsored by Quaker Oats, ran until 1932. Lauck and Goff performed several different characters, modeling many of them after real-life residents of Waters, Arkansas.
