- so many to choose from. "Apail of Air" on Dimension X, or "22 Rifle for Christmas" on Dragnet come immediately to mind

- Hands down Sorry Wrong Number on Suspense. It really keeps you on edge especially towards the end.

- For Fibber McGee and Molly I'd recommend Night School, November 14th 1944. This episode captures much of what I love about the series: McGees malapropisms, Mollys ad-libs, Teenie (my favorite character), trading barbs with Doc, the signature hall closet gag and a war effort message about inflation.

- I love Suspense and Detective shows. Sam Spade, Phillip Marlowe, Sherlock Holmes (the ones with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce), Suspense, and the Shadow are my favorites.
Favorite comedy show
Situation comedy, ensemble comedy, comedian showcase?

- I love Orson Welles. Not only is the Mercury Theater on the Air and the famous War of the Worlds episode great but he was the best of the actors to portray the Shadow. Great lens, enjoy your 5 stars.
