Ma Perkins #02 1950 - 52 Eps
Various
(52 Episodes * 1950) "MA PERKINS" or "OXYDOL'S OWN MA PERKINS," so named after its original sponsor, Oxydol Laundry Detergent. Although Oxydol sponsored OXYDOL’S OWN MA PERKINS for a long time, there was an eventual parting of the ways. On Friday, November 30, 1956, the final broadcast took place under Oxydol sponsorship. The following Monday, the program was sponsored by the “Multi Sponsors” package. The program continued its story with various sponsors until Friday, November 25, 1960. This was the sad day when MA PERKINS and the other 5 remaining radio serials aired their final broadcasts on CBS Radio.As for Oxydol (the detergent), it was a sponsor or co-sponsor of different daytime serials on television.

A Coincidence?
CarlosWest
Before the radio series, Ma Perkins, there was a very popular comic strip called, Polly and Her Pals. One of the characters in that strip was Ma Perkins. I wonder whether the creator of the radio series, Cliff Sterrett, was inspired by that character or was the same name just a coincidence? We may never find out! In any event, this is a very addictive show! Happy listening.

I follow the Old Time Radio Research Group and have found that the titles, dates and episode numbers on the Archive.org sites do not agree with the Old Time Radio Research Group nor the OTRSITE.ORG episodic log.
