We all know that reference books with a niche market like this normally have a smaller printing run, and thus a higher cost. I can live with that. But for the price, I expect the book to be meticulously researched, which means it should be error free. Annoyingly, this volume is nowhere close. To shell out this kind of money, I shouldn't find typo after typo after typo.Actress Carmen Mathews' name is listed repeatedly, but never correctly spelled. In the episode guide for Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Jacob Marley's name is listed as "Morley." Episode 409 is titled on pg. 75 as "The Death Wisher." In the index (pg. 454) it is titled "The Death Wish." I could go on, but you get my point. There is no excuse to charge this much money and have this many errors. Also, there is not near enough in the way of anecdotal material; this shouldn't be simply a list of air dates and titles, which it mostly is. In addition, the cast credits are skimpy; why couldn't the authors track down the names of those not credited in the orginal broadcast? It would have shown that they actually researched their subject, instead of just compiling lists of readily available material.I suppose I have been spoiled by Marc Scott Zicree's "The Twilght Zone Companion." And I suppose I expected this book to be like that: full of interviews with cast and crew, marvelous anecdotal nuggets, technical insights and more. Boy, was I wrong.I can't recommend this book, but I wish I could. Perhaps someone with more diligence and more respect for the audience will come along in the future and put together an error-free and interesting read. Save your money.

Excellent well researched episode guide and history of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be very much information available on this series, but what there is available is presented in this book. Unlike some other episode guides, this one also has a complete cast list as well.

So I just got my copy of the CBSRMT episode guide by Gordon Payton and Martin Grams Jr.I can tell right off that this will be a love-hate relationship.First let me say that this book was a remarkable undertaking by the authors and I commend them for spending what must have been many, many hours to gather together all this information. I especially am enjoying that I can now match characters to the actors ( thought after hundreds of episodes listened to, I can identify at least a dozen actors at first hearing.)But, the one thing that I find unfathomable is the unfortunate manner they have numbered the episodes. Instead of doing what one would expect to number the total 1,399 episodes in order 1 to 1,399 the authors made the horrendous decision to number them as to their broadcast dates. So, for instance, The Horla was the 44th episode produced however, it show up in the episode guide as number 49 because there were several repeats before it, and then it subsequently shows up as episode 133,1750 and 1960. If the authors wanted to indicate broadcast dates they could have easily created an appendix for this.I will certainly be going through this book with a marker to write down correct numbers so that I can quickly find episodes. Oy vey, what a royal disaster. I’m sure I’ll find little problems as I further digest this guide but I don’t want to discourage fans from getting themselves a copy. I just needed to express my incredulousness at an essential editorial mistake on the part of the authors and publisher.The index could have been organized better with a separate "Show Title" index and "Cast" index, instead there's one big index and it's a mashup. An index should not be a mashup.Even with these egregious flaws I still urge all frequent listeners to pick up a copy as a basic reference, you won’t regret it.

Contains plot synopses and cast, writer, director lists for all 1500 episodes. So this is a must have for true CBSRMT fans. But it could use a star reviews. Like to see Cast/Episode index separated. Maybe move actor bio-information to another section, it very hit or miss scattered in the episode information. Also it would be better to have this laid out alphabetically and just have a broadcast date index in the back; page after page is take up with re-listing reruns and reruns of reruns. Needs updating/rewrite, hope they come out with a new edition sometime. Would love to see an online version that could be sorted, or at least an electronic Kindle version (would make a great iPhone app).But don't get me wrong, the writers have done a great job documenting every episode. I especially like how the plot synopses are spoiler free. This makes it a great guide to follow along with your MP3 episode collection.

It is a complete chronology of the series. It answered a lot of my questions. Tho I would have liked to have seen photos of the individuals involved accompanying the body of work. It is a good companion to the complete series I purchased recently. Radio Mystery Theater is an absolute pleasure to listen to. Me and my children enjoy listening and reading about it together. Thank You for your attention.

Good Info on Each Show ~ Writers, Actors, A Brief Synopsis of Each Episode & When Each Show Aired. Nice Companion While Listening!

Fantastic. Fan from the 70's. Very informative.

I lost my hardcover copy in a flood and so I had to "settle" for this paperback version. It's great and reading it makes me feel almost as if I'm listening to the episodes themselves. If you can get your hands on the recordings, this book can serve as something like a TV Guide, letting you pick and choose which episodes you want to hear.
