Crisis


CRISIS was an anthology series produced in Seattle from 1973 to 1977 by Jim French. A well-done series, it is unfortunate it was not widely distributed. The shows typically ran approximately 20 to 25 minutes, allowing the addition of commercials to fill a 30 minute time slot, although there were two 1-hour shows. The series was consistently well done in all respects. CRISIS topics were similar to those of Sears/Mutual Radio Theater - adventure, comedy and drama with a few science fiction and western episodes. Unlike Sears Radio Theater, there was no rigid topic format. Jim French introduced each episode, directed most of them, and wrote a good share of the scripts.
