Elliot Lewis does sound quite similar to Howard Duff.
I love your programs ❤
I'm at a loss for words to convey to you how much I've enjoyed this series. I've listened to every JD episode. I like all the actors who played him, just about equally. I don't think any one was significantly better than the others. But I do think Gerald Mohr had the best voice to play JD: first, he had a richness of tone none of the others had. I studied for the opera and have done voice over work, so I'm quite conscious of voices. Because of his facility with his voice, he gave JD a greater range than the others, ie toughness, sympathy, empathy, etc. ...My guess is that people prefer differences in the portrayals of JD, but that would have more to do with the writing and directing, and less with the acting. Thanks for all the work you've done in this sisyphean task of creating these posts.

Thanks! Good stuff…
Once again: haha No-Doz, with the same safe *refresher* found in coffee - which we know from other ads contains *no stimulants*.
haha 'No-Doz - without any stimulants'. Oh, except for the um caffeine. Ok yeah the caffeine, but other than that...
I like these two. Thank you Adam
Thank you!!
Effie isn't as stupid as she pretends & her voice isn't baby doll. Interesting.
CROCK POT HOME MADE. STEW. WITH NICE ROAST BEEF
GOOD DAY. ❤ ❤ ❤
Deceived by a damsel in distress 😏
I've been digging the 60s music, but the surf sound in Texas in '62 is a bit of a reach. I don't get any connection there. Not a big deal, but unless I'm missing something, it was a perplexing choice. It would have been right at home in a SoCal episode. ...I also had a chuckle at 'speaking Mexican', but I don't know exactly what the expression might have been in '62.
This one was overly corny; the ending was pretty much a deus ex machina. ...Good point about how JD dressed down the cop. Unusual for him.
THANK YOU

JD: "this bush you're beating around is getting pretty big". ...Another line which shows up often. ;)
I agree about the mod 60s music, and have commented on it elsewhere.
One thing I think was overdone by the writers: JD talking over someone who is trying to tell him something, then stopping and saying something like 'wait, what?' Frequently happens during the opening phone call, but not limited to it. Overall, it happens more often than not. Obviously, not a big deal; just saying. re: Bailey defining the role: I think that's way overblown. I think people are reacting to what I think of as a slicker production. I've said this before: while I enjoy all the actors, and I realize clearly that they all brought something different to the role, I think the Bailey years are cartoon-like. Bailey's JD is more of a caricature of a comic book superhero than the others. He doesn't bring as much range to the character, although that could be the writing and producing. But still, listening to Bailey is like listening to a comic book, while the others, such as Lund and O'Brien, are like listening to Philip Marlowe or someone of that ilk. ...To be clear: I'm not calling it better or worse; not criticizing; just trying to describe it.
Fun listening to the evolution of the music. We're getting into way cool groovy beatnik-y vibes now.
'kwee bono' ...haha No way he was taught 'koo bono'. Normally, it would be very easy to understand someone mis-remembering something from a high school Latin class, but not in his line of work.
More local historical information they got right: the 1961 Topanga Canyon fire was the worst they'd had at that time.
I can't help but notice how many times it happens that there is a dead woman, and the first thing someone says is 'and she was so pretty'. Both male and female characters say it. How is that the first thing someone would say in that moment? For what it's worth: I avoided spine surgery for years, going to chiropractors, physical therapists, yoga teachers, etc etc. Turns out the surgery was the only thing which went right. The chiros, PTs, and yoga teachers ended up doing me far more permanent damage than if I'd done nothing at all. Their 'treatments' made me irreversibly worse. Turned out that the surgery was the only thing that went right. Also, for what it's worth: I had two spine injuries, and both were started by yoga teachers, which is extremely more common than people realize. They don't hear about it, because once students have had their discs crushed, they don't go back. Yoga is the fastest-growing area of exercise-related injuries. And they're not strains and sprains; they're spine injuries and even strokes. Yes, strokes. You could look it up. I ended up doing my own rehab, and in the years since, I have helped several others rehab from spine surgery - with no formal training.
haha The more I hear the slow tape episodes, the more convinced I am that it's not Mandel Kramer playing JD, but rather Fred Gwynne.
'Fine tooth comb'. This phrase has appeared in so many recent episodes I've lost count. ...Love the Welcome Wagon spots. I'm 65yo and I've never heard of that.
The Pat Summerall spot was priceless.
I had to chuckle about the idea of JD being that intimately familiar with Hamlet.
haha WHOA the tape was so slow, I didn't realize it was JD talking. I swear he sounds like Fred Gwynne. I've seen one or two comments here about listeners not caring for your commentary, etc. I very much enjoy your commentary about JD. But, as in this video, when you spend so much of your time talking about Banacek - a series I would never watch - you lose me. However, I still commend you on what sounds like an insightful and detailed summation of it. So kudos, but be advised you might be losing listeners that way.

Jerry McNear. Good one!
ok the introduction of Mrs. Porter is way over the top, even for JD. Was the target audience early-teenage boys?
Very enjoyable thank you
Very enjoyable!
Edward got his revenge. Good episode.
I'm really sorry to run out of Bob Readick episodes; I like him as much as any of them. Gerald Mohr is, for me, a slight favorite; that has mostly to do with his voice. No one else matches his vocal range and expression. I don't dislike any of them, but I think Bob Bailey is over-hyped. I find his JD to be a little caricaturish, but that's not a criticism of him or his work. I'm guessing the producers wanted it that way, so it's a credit to Bailey that he delivered. ...hehe I think of the Bailey years as the Johnny Bravo years. All that remains for me now are the Mandel Kramer episodes. Thanks so much for all the work you do to bring us all the fun!
hah wow is this tape fast. JD is practically a soprano. Johnny and the Chipmunks. Also, I agree that the miscommunication thing is overdone. It's not done badly; just too often. .

Yeah, we were on a party line in the ‘50’s when I was a kid…interesting times….
23:02 Very cool commercial. WCAU is a voice from my childhood.
People under 30 don't understand what (a party line) is. When I was a kid my grandmother had (a party line) because she lived in a rural area. That means if she were on the phone two other people can listen in on the phone call because their houses were all wired to the same number.
Love to hear shows based in Philly and South Jersey, my stomping grounds. I'm just surprised at the pronunciation of 'Vineland', given the usually accurate treatment of local lore everywhere JD goes. 'VINE-lənd' / VINE-lind / VINE-lund ...And I'm liking Bob Readick more with each episode.
'RED-ick' ...And this episode, to me, proves Readick is a good as any of the JDs. The range in his acting - from compassionate and tender to gritty and tough - is unsurpassed by any other of the actors.
Why do a y of us LOVE THEM ?
Thanks for the upload….
