YMMV / CBS Radio Mystery Theater

Go To

  • Archive Panic: There are exactly 1,399 episodes. Good luck if you want to listen to all of them.
  • Complete Monster (The Diary of a Madman): Frank Wallace, respected judge, is in truth a homicidal psychopath who opens the play by murdering a blameless young woman, letting an innocent man take the fall, and manipulating his conviction to see him hang. Happily murdering at various times for gratification, Frank later kills a political columnist and frames another innocent man for the crime, even contemplating murdering his own wife when she learns the truth.
  • Values Dissonance: The program was aimed an older audience which grew up with the classic radio dramas, and the scripts often reflected their values. Sam Dann's scripts in particular made nervous references to "women's lib" which by that time were a decade out of date.
