About this listen

By popular demand, The New Adventures of Johnny Dollar, Vol. 2, is a follow-up to volume one, dramatized pastiches of the great old time radio detective series by Joe Bevilacqua (“Joe Bev”).

This second volume features The Bowery Boys Matter, The James Forbes Matter, The Sarah Martin Matter, The Ugly Pattern Matter, The Walter Patterson Matter, and The Larson Arson Matter. Also, included are bonus tracks of some of Joe Bev’s old time radio parodies of Sherlock Holmes, the Shadow, and the Green Hornet.

The original Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar was a radio drama that aired on CBS Radio from February 18, 1949, to September 30, 1962. The best-known incarnation was with Bob Bailey starring in “the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account - America’s fabulous freelance insurance investigator”. There were 809 episodes, plus two not-for-broadcast auditions, in the 12-year run, and more than 720 still exist today out of 886 total performances.

I love the original Johnny Dollar episodes, but this pales horribly compared to the originals. The leads look is bad, his voice is weak and doesn't have the attitude and swagger of Bailey. the female voices sound like they're being performed by men. I listened to all episodes and will NEVER listen to these again. don't waste your time

Lame

It contains the opening music...and that's as far as it goes. The stereotypes are thick, even stronger than the originals. The jokes and not subtle or funny. The voices don't seem to be performed, but merely autotuned to :sound" different. This is particularly bad for any female character. I only made it through 2 episodes.

Does not do justice
