KFJC at 60: Bad TV Theatre

Tuesday Mayhem 21 at 7-10PM
Hosted by Cynthia Lombard and J.C. Clone

During KFJC's 60th anniversary year, we are flashing back to programming from the past, including "Bad Television Playhouse Theatre" from the early 1990s. Radio dramas were a staple of the medium for decades before the emergence of television. Over the years at KFJC several attempts have made to bring back the genre. "Bad Television Playhouse Theatre" was a mashup of radio drama and sappy, mostly '70s, television dramas. KFJC listeners were able to hear new versions created especially for radio of their favorite hideous TV shows like The Love Boat, Hawaii 5-0, BJ & the Bear and Quincy M.E. Cynthia Lombard is your host as "Bad TV Theatre" writer and producer J.C. Clone visits to discuss the story behind the story. J.C. will talk about how the show was created and play clips from some of the most memorable moments of the series and rebroadcast one of the original performances in its entirety.
