Reviews

. . . It was a very good year . . .

1947 is an exceptional year as very good stories just pour out every week from Suspense . . . By now the show has found it's identity and is on a roll as it continues on quite well on thru 1953-54 . . After 1955 you can hear a marked difference in quality which is especially noticeable in '56 where most of the scripts are do-overs and the future of the program was uncertain. Still even then, you'll find a few keepers in there and it's intersting to here the different broadcasts as series progresses.
