The Sears Radio Theater ( Mutual ) - The Trenches (05-22-80)
The Trenches Aired May 22, 1980)
The Sears Radio Theater Series premiered on Monday 02/05/79 and offered a different genre each weekday night. Each genre was hosted by a different celebrity. The program was produced on Paramount's Stage F in Hollywood. These first 130 programs were broadcast over a six month period and then rebroadcast over the following six months. From 02/14/80 to 12/19/81 this series was heard again, this time over Mutual, as The Mutual Radio Theater. This was clearly one of the last big attempts to produce radio programming, with many of radio’s best talents, the way radio was heard in its “golden days.” Despite budget and talent, it just wasn’t to be. Hosts: Lorne Greene on Mondays (Westerns), Andy Griffith on Tuesdays (Comedy), Vincent Price on Wednesday (Mystery), Cicely Tyson on Thursday (Drama – Love & Hate), Richard Widmark on Friday (Drama – Adventure.
