Rob McConegh (from OTRR) found the following entry from J. David Goldin's index:
18234. Same Time, Same Station.
June 4, 1972. Program #24. KRLA, Pasadena. Sustaining. A
rebroadcast of "The Amos 'n' Andy Show" of January 6, 1948 (see
also cat. #163), a "Vic and Sade" program from October, 1941 (see
also cat. #5754), and a wartime "Ma Perkins" program (see also
cat. #77). Freeman Gosden, Charles Correll, The Jubalaires, Jeff
Alexander and His Orchestra, John Lake (announcer), Virginia
Payne, Dick Wells (announcer), John Price (producer, narrator),
Art Van Harvey, Bernardine Flynn, Clarence Hartzell, Paul Rhymer
(writer). 1 hour. Audio condition: Excellent. Complete.
As you can see, it's 3 different programs. The Jubalaires were a music group!

The great Amos and Andy/Vic and Sade mystery!
I was doing some research today for my Vic and Sade websites and came
across a pay-per-view article that I bought (and therefore cannot
post.) The article clearly states that Paul Rhymer, the writer for Vic
and Sade, was asked to write an episode of the Amos and Andy show, which
he did. The article then goes on to state "but it sounded too much
like [a] Vic and Sade [episode.]" And it
implies it never did air (but it does NOT say this.)A little further research shows the following from the J. David Goldin Index (https://www.google.com/search?q=goldin+amos+and+andy+rhymer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a] That first Google entry there is a 404 error and does not exist but it appears that it did one time exist in the Goldin index. It also implies that there was a Amos and Andy show written by Rhymer and included at least Vic, Sade and Uncle Fletcher from Vic and Sade - [or so it seems to imply this.]
Further research does not show this episode in any log I have found (it may or may not be called "The Jubularies" or something similar.
So what gives? Are we missing a Vic and Sade/Amos and Andy oddity?
Lots of new details in pay-per-view story
I recently paid for and received a pay-per-view story from the LA Times, circa 1978. Part of the agreement is that I do not post the article - and so I won't. But what I can do is give you every detail mentioned.
- The article was written by Don Weldon.
- In 1934, butchers all over the US were "bewildered" by requests for beef punkles
- In 1934, NBC was also getting a lot of requests for "beef punkle pie" and "beef punkle ice cream" prompted by the Vic and Sade program
- In what was probably an Uncle Fletcher story, a man named Garvey Mullery Jr. (who married a woman 56 years old) made a pair of handcuffs out strawberry pop bottle lids and then used them to handcuff his father.
- An unnamed woman had her teeth grow upside down in her mouth.
- If Paul Rhymer wasn't finished writing a script in 3 hours, he would tear it up and start over with a fresh idea.
- Rhymer once was asked to write for Amos and Andy - and he did. Only it sounded too much like a Vic and Sade script.
- The actual portrait of R.J. Konk (pictured in this vingnette) actually hung in Rhymer's house. Rhymer's wife was artly tolerant, even though she was the Curator of Prints at the Chicago National Historical Society.
- In Rhymer's home, there was such a thing as a "goop bottle." The goop bottle contained small amounts of 320 different liquors.
