I was inspired by a BBC documentary on the making of Quadrophenia that someone pointed me toward:

Old Time radio

Dr. Kildare: "Mrs. Stanford's Angina Pectoris" 07/20/50

Goddamn it - having been an RN, mom thought Dr. Kildare was stupid. It's just a silly show and I hate the fact that listening to this show makes me miss mom!
(a) It's not in that goofy, surreal, universe of weird old Time Radio.
(b) And, again, mom didn't care for the show.

Dumbass stuff. >:(

Journey Into Space: "Operation Luna 01" 09/21/53

Anachronisms with space travel in old programs are so amusing. They're starting off going into space, and have to sit on their launch couches while doing so.

And the complete lack of training for things, like, dealing with no gravity.

And there's one point where the ship's leader just brings up mutiny, then drops it. I'm offended!

And drinking tea & having cigarettes.

.... Oops, they just got hit by a meteor. They seem ok, though. Good thing, the guy who designed the spacesuits has volunteered to wear them outside. Since they've never been tested before.

I'm finding this "make fun of the things they got wrong about spaceflight" much more enjoyable than I would have anticipated.
