Mystery Drama (1946 - 1951)

This excellent series was written by collaboration of the veteran Sherlock Holmes script writers, Anthony Boucher and Denis Green. When Rathbone left the Sherlock Holmes series in 1946, it was suggested The Casebook of Gregory Hood was its replacement.

Gregory Hood was an "unlicensed private investigator" which was a very popular genre at one time in the vein of Fat Man, Nero Wolfe, Casey Crime Photographer, and Rocky Fortune. The stories revolve around the worldly yet tough Hood whose antique dealing was the premise of the show. In his quest for a rare antique he was lead into a crime investigation.. The real-life importer, Richard Gump served as model and advisor for the series about the amateur detective who is certain to solve the crime of the day.

This collection represents a entertaining collection of the few existing episodes known to have survived.

    Good shows, although some times it's a little creepy that Gale Gordon is solving crimes and not hurmtping Constance Brooks of Lucille Ball. Recommended.

    I've been listening to OTR for over 30 years and I only recently discovered The Casebook of Gregory Hood. I love it.

    This was a summer replacement series for Sherlock Holmes, and started out with Gale Gordon. Halfway thru the sponsor wanted a change to Elliot Lewis. When Lewis went to do the show, he found that no one told Gordon. He had shown up to do the show too, So Lewis had to tell him that he was being replaced. No big deal, since Gordon was one o the busiest radio actors at that time. But Lewis made it up to him. When Lewis was producing the second Lucy program, he hired Gordon to play Mr Mooney. I think GG got the better end of that deal.
