Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy (Old Time Radio)

And, this was no laughing matter. Bergen received a special commendation from the U.S. government for entertaining the troops. Indeed, Charlie was so popular with the soldiers that the Army Air Corps made him a honorary sergeant (though, he was court- martialed when they discovered he'd also accepted a commission from the Marines)!

These 20 digitally remastered and restored episodes - including remotes from military bases - feature series regulars Abbott & Costello, Ginny Simms, Dale Evans, Bill Goodwin, Jim Ameche, and Ray Noble. And, the dazzling array of guest stars - including Judy Garland, Claudette Colbert, Charles Boyer, Humphrey Bogart, Olivia de Havilland, Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, and more - certainly didn't hurt morale any!
