Before he moved to Bedrock and voiced Fred Flintstone, Alan Reed was a busy radio actor. He popped up on\\xa0The Shadow,\\xa0Philip Marlowe, and\\xa0Sam Spade, but he was most frequently heard on comedies. We\'ll shine the spotlight on Reed for this week\'s bonus comedy episode in two old time radio sitcoms. First, he\'s Mr. Clyde, the long-suffering boss of Marie Wilson in\\xa0My Friend Irma (originally aired on CBS on March 1, 1948). Then, he plays Pasquale, patron and neighbor of J. Carrol Naish\'s Luigi Basco in\\xa0Life with Luigi (originally aired on CBS on October 17, 1950).
