List of Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel episodes

It was the Monday night installment of the Five-Star Theater, a variety series that offered a different program each weeknight, and was sponsored by the Standard Oil Companies of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Louisiana,[3] to compete with Texaco's Fire Chief which starred Ed Wynn.

[1][7] The show garnered respectable ratings for its early evening time slot, but did not return for a second season.

Each episode was introduced by the Blue Network announcer, and featured approximately fifteen-minutes of drama, ten minutes of orchestral music between acts, and concluded with a sixty-second skit promoting Esso and Essolube, performed by Groucho and Chico as themselves.

The episodes were thought not to have been recorded, as was the practice at the time,[12] but in the 1980s twenty-five of the twenty-six scripts were discovered in the Library of Congress.

[13] Adaptations of the recovered scripts were performed before modern audiences and then broadcast, on BBC Radio 4 in the UK, between 1990 and 1993.
