STAN FREBERG SHOW "CBS Censor"

For fifteen weeks during the summer of 1957, Stan Freberg and a talented ensemble performed satirical sketches and comedy routines, filling a void left when Jack Benny moved from radio to television. Episode 6 aired on CBS Radio August 18, 1957 "CBS Censor". Featuring... forced to see an eye specialist, Elderly Man River, Face The Funnies, The Rock Island Line and the Couple Next Door. Freberg was born Stanley Friberg in Pasadena, California, the son of Evelyn Dorothy (née Conner), a housewife, and Victor Richard Friberg (later Freberg), a Baptist minister. Freberg was a Christian and of Swedish and Irish descent. He was drafted in the US Army from 1945 to 1947 where he served in Special Services attached to the Medical Corps at McCornack General Hospital in Pasadena, California. Freberg's work reflected his gentle sensitivity (despite his liberal use of biting satire and parody).
