The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe

Nero Wolfe, a character from a series of novels by Rex Stout, was known as the gargantuan gourmet, the fat genius whose eye for detail has solved many a perfect murder. Archie Goodwin, Wolfe's male secretary, prodded him into taking cases whenever the bank balance got low. Nero Wolfe came to radio first in the United States on the NBC Blue Network in the early 1940's in THE NEW ADVENTURES OF NERO WOLFE; in the late 1940's his adventures were heard on the Mutual network in THE AMAZING NERO WOLFE; the last US series was THE NEW ADVENTURES OF NERO WOLFE in the early 1950's. In 1982, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation brought Nero Wolfe back to radio, calling the series simply NERO WOLFE. It ran for only 13 1-hour shows, all done in stereo, adaptations of short stories from various anthologies. Mayver Moore plays Wolfe and Don Francs plays Archie.
