One of the "gimmicks" of "Rogue's Gallery" is that he gets knocked out, at least once an episode, and he has a bit of a psychedelic experience, where he meets his alter ego, Eugor, on Cloud Eight. He'll have something like this happen in each episode.

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:32pm
Austin Rich:

The Shampoo ads are so integrated into the show - and the jingle is actually the show's theme song - that I had to keep some of the Shampoo stuff in it's original form. But the spots where I inserted commercials cover up MUCH LONGER rambles about the merits of that particular brand. My "shorted commercials" are replacing something almost two or three times longer, in this case. But the jingles are so good, I had to keep them in.

I have found a few services that you can use to separate "vocals" from songs, and tried them on some Old Time Radio. There's one service I used, where it was very good at pulling apart Old Time Radio shows. While it's rather time-intensive, I have thought about creating some "clean" music cues from some Dimestore shows, so I can use them in my own radio dramas. I have always wanted to get all of the NBC Radio music cues in a form that doesn't have talking over them.

A version of this story has been on our show before, performed years earlier, by slightly different actors, and produced in a slightly different form, when it aired on "Dimension X."
