In the 1950s the old time [[Radio Drama|Radio Dramas]]s gradually died out, with [[Television]] taking over. The era (in the USA) is generally considered to have ended with the last network radio dramas ''Suspense'' and ''Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar'' on September 30, 1962.
 
However, this didn't prevent there from being nostalgia years later... which eventually led to a brief revival of radio drama in [[The Seventies]]. The longest-lasting series of this revival was the ''CBS Radio Mystery Theater'', which lasted from 1974 through 1982. It was created by Himan Brown, radio veteran from shows like ''[[Inner Sanctum]]'', and narrated by E. G. Marshall for most of its run, with Tammy Grimes in the last year. Himan Brown narrated a brief rebroadcast in 1998. Of course there is now nostalgia ''for'' the series.
