Agnes Moorehead was a great actress and I enjoyed her two appearances on CBSRMT and around the same time seeing her on reruns of Bewitched too.

Agnes Moorehead was a great choice for the very first CBSRMT episode. Her acting in both episodes is extremely good.

Agnes Moorehead was in the very first episode of CBSRMT. She also had a long history in radio - The Shadow, Mercury Theater, Cavalcade of America, Suspense, and an episode of Mystery in the Air with Peter Lorre - I'm sure there are probably more shows that she appeared on. She was only on 2 episodes of CBSRMT. She passed away in 1974, so the two episodes were probably the last things she did.

The producers of SUSPENSE dubbed her 'The First Lady of Suspense' because of her numerous appearances and outstanding performances, such as the Lucille Fletcher play 'Sorry, Wrong Number'. It first aired live in May of 1943 and she repeated it six more times during the series run. All were live, with the exception of the last appearance of the play in 1960. For that last show, CBS reran the 1957 version.

Her biography, I Love the Illusion, is available.

She shares my birthday. I didn't know she was in one besides the first. I will have to go back and hear them again

Agnes Moorhead was awesome in Sorry Wrong Number. She kept the suspense up. I liked her in The Ring of Truth. After that she annoyed me as well.

re: Agnes Moorehead . . I'd just as soon forget "Endora" - When I was a little kid watching "Bewitched' I just couldn't STAND her! HOWEVER, she IS the "!st Lady of Suspense" and a great voice actor(ress) OPEN QUESTION: Does anyone know why E.G. Marshall left CBSRMT? Like many, I feel Tammy Grimes just didn't work, and, was the show cancelled BECAUSE of her?

The official version was that he left because of 'illness'. They almost made it sound like he was on his deathbed, even though he lived for a number of years after he left. I don't feel Tammy Grimes for the last season was a good fit for the show, either. That's a bit harsh saying that she was the reason the show ended. Tammy had actually made a number of appearances as star during the run of the show. By the time she took over, they had done well over 1,000 episodes. It's hard to say why it ended, but there were no doubt numerous reasons. They did a total of 1,399 episodes. Each episode aired twice, which brought it to 3,000 broadcasts.

I liked her in both episodes. Believable and versatile. These shows were the last things she did. The second one of them was aired posthumously. What an enormous talent we lost.

Speaking of Ms. Grimes, she was the original choice for the twitchy role of Samantha Stevens which she turned down. Her tv show, "The Tammy Grimes Show" flopped but it also featured Dick Sargeant, who replaced the original Darrin.

Such an interesting face.

She rocked in the Twilight Zone classic "The Invaders." From what I recall, she played a terrified mute woman never uttering a word. A powerful performance to be sure.

I knew this one one of my favorites but didn't realize She was on any of the CBSRMT episodes. Now it makes sense. I brilliant actress and according to her peers, a lovely person according to Erin Murphy (Tabitha).

I have the best memories as a teen of laying in bed with my transistor radio listening to RMT!

WHAM Rochester NY 70's at 10:07 p.m :-) the creaky door would open slowly...... Had an old clock radio with a 60 minute sleep switch. My parents must have loved it because teenage me was home and in bed every weeknight by 10 to listen

i listened to this show, late at night when i lived in Tupelo, Oklahoma. the town just BARELY exists, anymore. The signal used to fade and i would practically go nuts waiting for it to return. Sometimes, i would miss a significant proportion of the programming, but i never gave up until i heard EG Marshall say, "Good Night and Pleasent Dreams" to the accompaniment of a haunted house door squealing shut just before that final bass drum beat.

Well since Albany and Rochester spoke up I will have to throw Syracuse in and I think it was WHEN. WHEN in Syracuse. I grew up in North Syracuse and went to Liverpool High School. It took me a little over 2 years to listen to all 1399 episodes. Yard work, hiking, gym time, etc were all opportunities to get 1 - 2 episodes per day in.

So do I, but it was not a transistor. It was a clock radio. I am not fabricating, but the clock radio I had at the time was the same make and model that they had on their refrigerator on Good Times.

Hope this isn’t too provocative but I wonder if her voice might have been a little too big for radio? I mean, I love her in film and TV but she was so over the top on the radio that all I could hear was her.

the blasphemy!!! Aggie was the queen of radio..NO ONE compares! However, thank the Lord we got to have radio, movies, tv and stage to enjoy her talent..in my humble opinion, she is the queen of all vintage media!!

I also grew up in a western suburb of Syracuse and was nine years old when this hit the airwaves. It does seem likely that WHEN carried it, as it was the CBS station, as I recall. I had this cube-like clock radio in my room that I would use. Supposedly sleeping, the volume level would be barely audible, but fortunately, my room was at the far end of my parents' house. CBSRMT added a little dramatic spice to some pretty cold, boring and lonely nights in the wilds of the Town of Onondaga. When I rediscovered CBSRMT on the web, I had long forgotten about it. I'm glad that there is a significant community that still appreciates it.
