Crisis 150 Episodes
Crisis was a dramatic anthology series from the later years of old-time radio that offered tense, thought-provoking stories of people facing extraordinary situations. Produced in the early 1950s, when radio drama was beginning to fade from the American networks, Crisis carried forward the tradition of suspense and moral dilemma, presenting tightly written half-hour plays that explored human behavior under pressure. Each episode revolved around a critical turning point in the life of its characters, hence the title.
With its gripping storytelling and often unexpected twists, Crisis stood out as one of the last high-quality dramatic anthologies of the golden radio era.
The Stars
The series featured a rotating cast of capable radio actors, many of whom had worked extensively in crime, mystery, and dramatic programming. Performers included:
William Conrad
Beverly Garland
Paul Dubov
Parley Baer
Stacy Harris
Guest stars often appeared, lending the show a strong mix of familiar voices and fresh talent.
Key Dates
• Crisis aired beginning in 1954 as a syndicated series.
• It ran in a 30-minute format, with episodes distributed on transcription discs to local stations across the United States.
• The program was sometimes billed under alternative titles, such as Crisis!, to emphasize its urgency and dramatic tone.
Other Information
The stories in Crisis were varied, but most revolved around personal or moral struggles—individuals faced with life-changing decisions, sudden dangers, or moments of truth. The plots drew from multiple genres, including crime drama, psychological suspense, and human-interest stories, but all shared a focus on tension at a breaking point.
While not as well-remembered as Suspense or Escape, Crisis is valued by collectors for its polished production and quality writing, especially given its place in radio history as one of the final syndicated dramatic anthologies before the medium gave way almost entirely to television.
Today, Crisis is appreciated as a late but memorable entry in the tradition of American radio drama—an echo of the golden age that still delivered powerful storytelling at a time when radio’s dominance was fading.
