X Minus One

aired on NBC from 24 April 55 until 9 January 58 for a total of 124 episodes with one pilot or audition story. There was a revival of the series in 1973 when radio was attempting to bring back radio drama and it lasted until 1975. The show occupied numerous time slots through out its run in the 50's and thus was never able to generate a large following.

X Minus One was an extension of Dimension X which aired on NBC from 1950-51. The first fifteen scripts used for X Minus One were scripts used in the airing of Dimension X; however, it soon found its own little niche. The stories for the show came from two of the most popular science fiction magazines at the time; Astounding and Galaxy. Adaptations of these stories were performed by Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts. They even wrote a few original stories of their own. The writers of the magazine stories were not well known then but now are the giants of today. These stories came from the minds of Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Poul Anderson to name a few.

This series has survived from its original airing in high quality to be enjoyed today.

I have done it several times.

My favorites are The Green Hills of Earth and The Embassy.
The Embassy is a real blast for me. A friend and I are always joking about how The Greys work for the Illuminati and they are in turned controlled by the Venusians. The Venusians killed all the Martians in 1942 so they are not a problem any longer.

[Bill Hollweg]

Awesome! The Embassy IS a cool one! Another Fave of Mine is Stars are in the Styx

[misterunix]

That is a good one. I had completely forgotten about "Stars are in the Styx"

[Bill Hollweg]

Love that one- and another fave (though I forget the title) involves ozmatic suction... Funny and bizarre ep- but cool

enjoying discussing these!

[Bill Hollweg]

And of course anything by Bradbury on X-1 is groovy cool
"Zero Hour" comes to mind
;-)

Sorry for the delay. Had a bit of heart trouble and ended up a guest at the pokey and wakey hotel.

What was the episode that had the little dolls that created the human size doll?
I would like to listen to that one again.

I think when I first listened to this show I started listening to them all without listening to any others my favorite is Universe, one of these days I gotta find the Heinlein story that was transcribed from. But there is a lot of good stuff there.

[Bill Hollweg]

Universe is great!

Just listened to a futureistic Base Ball story called Martian Sam- chuckled the whole way through! Was rooting for the Dodgers of the 21st century to win it all!
