Story
Three U.S. astronauts blast off from Earth on an initial test flight in an experimental rocket-ship, but during the flight into space the ship disappears from radar, then reappears. On return, the rocket-ship is hangared and put under a tarp, pending an investigation. One crewman is hospitalized for a leg broken on landing, and is visited by the other two. Next the pair go for a drink, and then one crewman phones his parents from a bar phone-booth - but they say they have no son!

Good - just a bit too clever for it's own good.

Jason Alexander is the new Burgess
What did you love best about The Obsolete Man?
Jason Alexander's performance was just amazing. He channeled Burgess Meredith so perfectly. Whoever played the Chancellor did great, too.
What did you like best about this story?
The premise of such a society and how one can stand up to it, even in an utter hopeless situation. Classic Zone.
Which scene was your favorite?
*Spoilers for an over 50 year old story* When Romney traps the Chancellor in his room.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
So many of the Zone radio dramas are hit or miss, (and I've been listening to mostly misses - if you like the original episode of The Little People - DON'T get the radio drama! ) and this was a definite hit with the amazing performance.
Any additional comments?
Like all of the Zone radio dramas I've listened to so far, this one has a few problems in the adaptation.
There is a completely superfluous scene of the cameras getting installed in Romney's room that was only a throw away line of dialogue in the original that did not need to be played out. It was padding for time at its most obvious.
Also, I think it was meant to get new listeners familiar with the world of this story, but in the beginning, Romney acts like he's never heard of the State's doctrines until he was called in that day. While that's fine for getting people unfamiliar with the story up to speed, it feels very out of character or just illogical, in that there's no way Romney could've been living here all this time and not know any of this.

Fantastic timeless story...
... and a more than tolerable performance from Jason Alexander. I've heard him in other T Z episodes, and was less than impressed by his voice acting. Here he does a good job as the quiet librarian.
But the star here is the story. Oh man, oh man is it great. Never saw the TV episode so I listened to this without any "spoiler knowledge". One of my favorite episodes.
