The Shadow is a collection of serialized dramas, originally in pulp magazines, then on 1930s radio and then in a wide variety of media, that follow the exploits of the title character, a crimefighting vigilante in the pulps, which carried over to the airwaves as a "wealthy, young man about town" with psychic powers. One of the most famous pulp heroes of the 20th century, The Shadow has been featured in comic books, comic strips, television, video games, and at least five motion pictures. The radio drama is well-remembered for those episodes voiced by Orson Welles.
Introduced as a mysterious radio narrator by David Chrisman, William Sweets and Harry Engman Charlot for Street and Smith Publications, The Shadow was fully developed and transformed into a pop culture icon by pulp writer Walter B. Gibson.
The Shadow debuted on July 31, 1930, as the mysterious narrator of the Street and Smith radio program Detective Story Hour. After gaining popularity among the show's listeners, the narrator became the star of The Shadow Magazine on April 1, 1931, a pulp series created and primarily written by the prolific Gibson.

One robot's 200 year journey to become an ordinary man.
Portia: I like you. I even understand you some of the time. But I'm not about to invest my emotions in a machine.
Portia: What's right for most people in most situations isn't right for everyone in every situation! Real morality lies in following one's own heart.
Portia: But if this really works between us? You and I will never be accepted. We can't be married or anything.
Andrew Martin: Do you know what it feels like to be in love with someone that is about to marry someone else?
Galatea: I think personality is much more important than intelligence, don't you?
[after Sir explains about sex]::Andrew Martin: It all sounds so very... messy.::Sir: That's... a fair point
Andrew Martin: [after learning the fate of most sperm]::Andrew Martin: They die? One feels badly for them.
[Teaching Andrew to tell jokes]::Sir: Why did the chicken cross the road?::Andrew Martin: One does not know, sir, possibly a predator was behind the chicken, or possibly there was a female chicken on the other of the road, if it's a male chicken. Possibly a food source, or depending on the season it might be migrating. One hopes there's no traffic.::Sir: To get to the other side.::Andrew Martin: To get to the other side. Ah, why is that funny?
Galatea: As the great Andrew Martin once said "One is glad to be of service".
Andrew Martin: Sir, is everything all right?::Sir: Umm. They've both gone now, Andrew. Well, things change, things always change. People move on. It's as it should be. But, what I realized today is that I'll never stop missing them.::Andrew Martin: Sir? One is still here.::Sir: And one is glad of that Andrew. Thank you.
Plot

Obsession is a dangerous mistress.
Plot
Chapter 1, "The Black Ace" opens with dam-project foreman Hank Davis hiring two stunt flyers he once flew with, Fred Cromell and Bill "Jellybean" Cook, to protect the dam from the air raids by a group known as the Mystery Squadron, under the leadership of the mysterious Black Ace. Each attack is preceded by the arrival of a miniature airplane carrying a warning that the Mystery Squadron is about to attack. This makes the workers somewhat disturbed and distressed to the point that they mistake Fred and Bill for members of the criminal air armada. The workers form a vigilante lynch mob from which Fred and Bill must escape and continue their 12-chapter search to unmask The Black Ace. Those in a hurry can flash-forward to the ending of chapters 4-6-8 and 12, as they are all "cheater chapters" comprised primarily of various players recapping, via flashback footage, what has transpired in preceding chapters.Mascot and Republic led the serial world in the use of cheater chapters, but they usually only had two, so "The Mystery Squadron" with four may hold the record for short-changing tactics.

Words don't come easily
Like sorry like sorry
Forgive me

Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily

Ready for soundcheck here we go.
We're in a hurry, there's no time
I take the mic chip to chip to right.
At general is stopped the magazine
"Hey Bobo, tell me what do you dream:
Do you wanna be famous

What you gonna do when someone quiz your pitch"
Life goes up, no more waiting dancing and screaming, celebrating
And the prowd is looking like a whale in ocean
Now beginning world in motion.
Thing just straggling vain locate,
Time for the show let the music play.
Music, I can't get it enough
So let me feel your love
Only feel the love of my life time, all
That i'm dreaming of.
Stay with me and
Show me on your secrets, all that i'm
Dreaming of.
I cannot live, cannot live
Without your love.
I live in hide, and I
Cannot get enough.
Let me feel your love.
Let me feel your love.
Another night, another place

Dancing, singing, my world is in stage,
I feel like a lion living his cage.
Happy people everywhere
Music's hutch they did not care, they don't care about imps,
Care about lies care about friend
No compromise

"Without no doubt I'm proud of the crowd and thats about
The beat that spins you around
Get up, stand up with too the sound."
The last time I tap parade, ready for
The show, let the music play.
Your supports take me high enough
