''The Mel Blanc Show'' was a radio situation comedy in the United States. It was broadcast on CBS from September 3, 1946 to June 24, 1947.〔Dunning, John. (1998). ''On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio''. Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0-19-507678-3. P. 447.〕 ==Format== Although Mel Blanc "did countless character impersonations on other radio programs, as well as being the voice of many cartoon characters," he used his natural voice in this program and played himself – except that instead of being an entertainer, the Mel Blanc character in the show was "the bumbling owner of a fix-it shop that was never able to fix anything."〔Reinehr, Robert C. and Swartz, Jon D. (2008). ''The A to Z of Old Time Radio''. Scarecrow Press, Inc. ISBN 978-0-8108-7616-3. P. 177.〕 The show's one regular outlet for another Blanc voice was the character Zookie, a stuttering helper.〔 One website noted, however, "Many episodes required Mel to impersonate an exotic foreigner or other stranger in town, ostensibly for carrying out a minor deception on his girlfriend's father, but of course simply as a vehicle for him to show off his talents."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.myoldradio.com/old-radio-shows/mel-blanc-show-the )〕 The June 1947 issue of ''Radio Mirror'' magazine provided an insight into the program with this comment in its Recommended Listening column under "Tuesday night": "At 8:30, you'll have to make a choice between the Mel Blanc Show (CBS) and Date with Judy (NBC). If it's impossible-situations-made-to-seem-real that you like, you'll choose Mel and his girl and his fix-it shop". One old-time radio website commented, "Mel Blanc's natural – and exceptional – voice talent was unquestionably the series' greatest selling factor; and Mel got to show his acting and timing chops to a far greater degree with his own situation comedy."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.digitaldeliftp.com/DigitalDeliToo/dd2jb-Mel-Blanc-Show.html )〕 A signature expression of the program was "ugga-ugga-boo, ugga-boo-boo-ugga," the password for Blanc's (the character's) lodge.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Mel Blanc Show」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
