This show had a great cast, starring Harry Von Zell as attorney Bill Smith, Brenda Marshall as his wife Nancy, and featuring British star Arthur Treacher as Sir Cecil Smythe, their snooty British relative. Jan Ford played daughter Shirley, better known as Bumps.

Smiths of Hollywood the Smiths everyday adventures are a little more fantastic than a real average families are, since being in Hollywood naturally means that such stars as Lucille Ball, William Holden, and Ann Sheridan are prone to drop by. But they’re just plain folk off-screen, just like you or me. Good thing there’s a solid cast of veteran radio professions to make it funny! They did, and The Smiths of Hollywood is solid radio comedy entertainment.

The Mel Blanc Show was a radio situation comedy in the United States. It was broadcast on CBS from September 3, 1946 to June 24, 1947.

Although Mel Blanc “did countless character impersonations on other radio programs, as well as being the voice of many cartoon characters,” he used his natural voice in this program and played himself – except that instead of being an entertainer, the Mel Blanc character in the show was “the bumbling owner of a fix-it shop that was never able to fix anything.” The show’s one regular outlet for another Blanc voice was the character Zookie, a stuttering helper. One website noted, however, “Many episodes required Mel to impersonate an exotic foreigner or other stranger in town, ostensibly for carrying out a minor deception on his girlfriend’s father, but of course simply as a vehicle for him to show off his talents.”
