May the Good Lord bless and keep you...	July 10, 2023
Reviewer: Ivan G Shreve Jr from Winterville, GA United States

One of the great things about the preservation of old-time radio is that it gives the collector the opportunity to listen to shows that might have been missed the first time around. THE BIG SHOW is the perfect example: I mean, it had the suicide mission of going up against Jack Benny -- a troubling fate for a program that is truly big-time radio. Buy this one!

High Quality!	July 7, 2023
Reviewer: Russ Gifford from South Sioux City, NE United States

Wow! That write up intrigued me, and you have never steered me wrong. So I tried it. These shows sound so crisp and clear I feel like I am sitting in the audience! And what a cast of characters! Their exuberance pours out of the speakers and reaches across the decades. They are as fresh and fun as they were then. These programs are a wonder! Thank you for leading me to these!

Wow! I Can't Say Enough	May 20, 2022
Reviewer: Anthony Thompson

Wow! I can't say enough about how these discs sound. I was skeptical until I heard them. I purchased volume 1 of "The Big Show" and am ecstatic. You don't know how many times I've replayed the theme on half a dozen different MP3 versions of the shows just to decipher the words to the theme song and it is crystal clear on each of the five episodes I purchased. I will soon be purchasing the other 2 sets. Thanks again!

Brings Back Such a World of Memories	May 20, 2022
Reviewer: Bruce Ornsten

Gentlemen, I can't express my appreciation at the fabulous job you do on restoration of golden age network radio programs. I am listening to "The Big Show" with 'Talloo' (as Durante used to call her) and it brings back such a world of memories when I was a teenager listening to radio's last big gasp. It probably was what got me into radio and television broadcasting at the age of 20!

Quite a Revelation	May 20, 2022
Reviewer: Jim Gaudet

THE BIG SHOW is quite a revelation for me. I am not a big fan of variety shows and was not very optimistic about this show. I have really enjoyed this collection, a great deal! The Eddie Cantor 'rap' about the treadmill of doing a weekly comedy program was particularly poignant for me. I felt he was really speaking from the heart. And I finally begin to understand that Fred Allen was a whole lot smarter than I have previously appreciated.

You Folks Do Wonderful Work	May 20, 2022
Reviewer: Marshall Ginsburg

You folks do wonderful work. Would also like to tell you how much I enjoyed your BIG SHOW CD's. I took them along on a recent plane trip, and it really made the time go by quickly and enjoyably. They brought back memories as a much younger man when my parents took us to New York City, and we had tickets to see a broadcast of NBC's The Big Show.

It Was a Thrill for Me	May 20, 2022
Reviewer: Mindy Joy from (Mindy Carson)

It was one of my daughters who somehow came across the information about the Big Show. It has just arrived. My children and grandchildren will certainly enjoy listening to it. It was a thrill for me to be part of this show.
