The Detective Gang goes to THE FARM - While the Stacks makes you Old, The Farm makes you Horse.

The Non-Toons of the party take The Pony Lessons with mixed results. Johnny more concerned with the Holes in David's legs. (Just Doppelganger Things) Nancy hopes the visit doesn't leave lasting Horn Supporting Neck Pain.

Bone, I'm sorry your Pony is Bald but at least your cutie mark is cute

I know the show went off the air 60 years ago, but I wanna hear about the person whose job it is to review Johnny Dollar’s expense accounts

Friends, compatriots and puzzle-fiends, on November 17th & 19th, I’m going to be roleplaying as Johnny Dollar in The Case of the Obra Dinn.

Return of the Obra Dinn is an extremely difficult puzzle game by developer Lucas Pope (Papers, Please). It’s available on Mac, PC and Switch. I highly recommend that you play it yourself before the stream if that’s your kinda game because the stream will obviously spoil everything!

I absolutely adore this game and have been threatening to make this content since it came out. I know it very well, but I will allow in-character backseatting from chat.

You don’t need a twitch account to watch, just come along for the ride and enjoy.

Actor Bob Bailey was born June 13, 1913. To old time radio fans, Bailey is best remembered for a pair of detective roles: as ex-GI turned gumshoe George Valentine in Let George Do It, and as “America’s fabulous freelance insurance investigator” Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.

Bailey began his career in Chicago radio with appearances on That Brewster Boy, Meet Corliss Archer, and other programs originating from the Windy City. Between 1943 and 1944, he was under contract at 20th Century Fox. Bailey made several pictures at Fox, including the Laurel & Hardy films Jitterbugs and The Dancing Masters.

In 1946, Bailey starred as George Valentine, a private detective who solicited clients through a newspaper ad offering to shoulder the danger they couldn’t handle. Bailey’s performance in Let George Do It made Valentine tough but funny, a scrappy and hard-working gumshoe. Bailey starred in the show until 1954.

The following year, he stepped into the shoes of Johnny Dollar. Under the direction of Jack Johnstone, Bailey starred as Dollar in a series of nightly serialized stories that remain some of the finest drama produced during the Golden Age of Radio. The program went back to a weekly format in September 1956, and Bailey would remain in the title role until 1960 when production moved to New York. He left a run of nearly five hundred episodes and cemented himself as the definitive version of the character.

Alcoholism and other health problems - including a stroke - kept Bob Bailey off screen during the final years of his life. Fortunately for us, there are dozens of hours of his memorable performances as two of radio’s best detectives.
