2000 PLUS

BOB EMERICK
KEN MARVIN

"2000 Plus" was a 30 minute science fiction radio anthology series, with Ken Marvin and Bob Emerick as the announcers. Also known as "Two Thousand Plus" and "2000+" the show aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System from 15 March 1950 until 2 January 1952. The series relied on new stories, rather then adapting published stories. The series was created by Sherman H. Dryer; who wrote the scripts and produced the show with Robert Weenolsen. From Science Fiction Television by M. Keith Booker: "It was not until the 1950s that science fiction radio really hit its stride, even as science fiction was beginning to appear on television as well. Radio programs such as Mutual's 2000 Plus and NBC's Dimension X were anthology series that offered a variety of exciting tales of future technology, with a special focus on space exploration (including alien invasion), though both series also often reflected contemporary anxieties about the dangers of technology".
