 On April 12, 1941 listeners were first introduced to the comedic antics of William Bendix in the hit radio sitcom, The Life of Riley. The show was a hilarious series about the family life of Chester A. Riley, a blue collared aircraft factory worker during World War II. The series chronicles his life with wife Peg, two children, Junior and Babs and Peg's lecherous Uncle Baxter who refuses work to the free room and board he extorts from Riley for giving him a pint of blood two years ago. Riley had a heart of gold, but with little common sense, he always seemed to make a mess of just about everything. Cleverly written and expertly acted, this show produced side-splitting situations sure to please the avid old time radio listener. A must for any collection! # # # FIRST BROADCAST: 12th April 1941 LAST BROADCAST: 1951 CAST: Lionel Stander, Grace Coppin, Jackie Grimes, Peggy Conklin, William Bendix, Paula Winslowe, Sharon Douglas, Conrad Binyon, Scotty Beckett, Jack Grimes, Bobby Eiler, Hans Conried, John Brown, Francis Trout, Charlie Cantor, Shirley Mitchell.
