Frantic Times Radio Logs

This is very much an ongoing project -- trying to get a complete set of radio logs for the Frantic Times radio series. Much of what follows is derived (admittedly second-hand) from date information from the original CBC open reel tapes containing the shows. Unfortunately, only the month and year of the show was recorded (if that), leaving the broadcast dates for a number of shows in some doubt (especially for those of seasons three and four). Thankfully the tapes were also numbered, with two shows recorded per tape. It does seem that sometimes the "second" show on the tape was sometime the first to be played, so some of the dates listed below may be off by a week in some circumstances (and hopefully not more than that! ;-) So what follows is my best reconstruction for what is the most likely original air dates for the shows.

Also note that the names given for the shows and individual skits are the names I have given them -- they should not be construed as being "official". I have done my best to provide descriptive names for the skits to help those fans who do have tapes to better identify what they have. The titles I've provided for the shows are usually what I thought was the "showcase" skit for that show.

If you happened to have taped the show when it was originally aired (like me) and then dated them (unlike me), please email me with your info!

(And before you ask, yes, I do have copies of all of the recordings listed below. ;-)

    4th Season

    June 25 1983(?) - June 29 1985

    Get their own time slot after Basic Black on Saturday afternoon. The show is played continuously at this time, with occasional repeats. The dates are definitely odd in this listing, supposedly beginning before the air dates in June -- perhaps the date information on the tapes are now referring to recording dates? The repeats during this season make it nearly impossible to tie down exact broadcast dates -- what dates appear here are those originally written down on the master tapes.
