The Abbott and Costello Show and The Bickersons

“C, A-M, E-L, S” Yes, that spells CAMELS, which sponsored the Abbott and Costello Show, which we have for you tonight on the OTR Express.  Enjoy the old commercials - but not too much - we don't want you to blame old time radio for a new bad habit.

Listening to cigarette commercials - which many have never heard live - is certainly an experience.  Maybe you don't realize it when you're in the moment, but marketing for products seems so...well...made up.  The makers of Camel Cigarettes invented the "T-Zone", and all of a sudden, smokers were buying cartons of Camels because of "T for taste" and "T for throat".

Between commercials, there's a nice Abbott and Costello Show that you should find enjoyable.  It's perfect light and mindless summer entertainment.

And then at the end of the show we switch from male comedy duo to a male-female comedy duo, with the battlin' Bickersons, with another classic routine.

Two completely different types of comedy shows, but both marked by great writing and better comedic timing.
