From January 1948 to March 1948, two different versions of Escape were broadcast nationally in the same week. These have in the past been incorrectly labeled East Coast and West Coast productions. However, they were both national broadcasts of the same script. The second weekly productions were independent productions of the same script with the same actors, not rebroadcasts The first broadcast of the week had orchestra music and was directed by William N. Robson. The second broadcast, later in the week, of the same script had organ music and was directed by Norman Macdonnell.
Of the above set of shows, the following are NOT in circulation: 48-02-29 Grove of Astharoth; 48-03-13 Jimmy Goggles, The God; 48-03-20 The Log of the Evening Star; 48-03-27 Misfortune's Isle

47-12-20 The Dark Curtain s/b 47-04-20
48-12-21 Morey Amsterdam was probably 47-12-21. The show aired in New York and D.C. on Sunday Dec. 21 1947 and I can not find that it aired after Jan. 4, 1948. Unfortunately, the newspapers do not give guest stars for this show. The closing credits say the next week's star is Zachary Scott, star of Cass Timberlane. That movie opened Nov. 6, 1947. The show aired on Sundays and Dec. 21 1948 was a Tuesday
EXPLORING TOMORROW
Logs prior to 2008 gave the show as being aired once a week with the first episode broadcast on Dec 11, 1957 and with the shows being broadcast in alphabetical order. In reality, the show was broadcast twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays with the first broadcast being on Dec. 4th 1957 and the last being broadcast June 6 1958. Someone had put together an alphabetical list of shows with commonly used show titles and applied the old log dates (which started on the wrong date) as if the show had been broadcast in the alphabetical order of the list. Episode numbers of shows given below are not official, but are numbers that have come to be associated with the titles as a result of logs listing the shows roughly alphabetically.
