Summary:Now with newly completed serials, many better sound quality episodes and lots of extras including logs, photos, interviews, and more!Following the work of mystery seekers of the A-1 Detective Agency Jack Packard, Doc Long, and Englishman Reggie York, I Love a Mystery is one of the cherished shows in radio history. Written by Carlton E. Morse, one of the foremost writers of radio. He also wrote One Mana's Family and Adventures by Morse, but spent a great part of his creative talents on I Love a Mystery.Morse based the trio of the other famous French serial from 1844 Three Musketeers with Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Jack Packard was the no-nonsense leader who disliked women and always solved the crime long before any of the other characters. Doc Long was the comic relief of the operation and the ladies man. Englishman Reggie York was naive but physically strong.They were a motley crew of crime solvers who John Dunning in his book "On the Air, The Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio, "described as "neither fearless nor overly principled nor entirely without blame for their own predicaments. Jack, Doc and Reggie were played by a number of actors over the years. Jack was played by: Michael Raffetto, Russell Thorson, Jay Novello, and John McIntire. Doc Long was portrayed by Barton Yarborough and Jim Boles. Walter Paterson and Tony Randall preformed as Reggie.Fast paced, deftly scripted, and Fleischmann's dried-yeast vitaminized with over-the-top-excitement, it is still beloved by fans of radio mystery drama over 60 years after it first appeared over the airwaves. See also Adventures by Morse and I Love Adventure! For other great serials, please see: Magic Island, Captain Midnight, Terry and the Pirates, and Superman.On OTRCat: http://www.otrcat.com/love-mystery-p-1398.html
