Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, "Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.")</em></p> <p><em>2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado's private collection?</em></p> <p>So with this in mind, we three bring you, as our tenth installment (and Jane's selection), this episode of <em>The Abbott & Costello Program</em> from 1945. We'll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it! </p> <p>And on a sad note, we pay tribute and say farewell to one of our co-hosts. </p> </div> </div>
