I swore it was my mother's voice asking why I was sleeping with the TV on.

That was a bit before my time, but I vaguely remembered it as a radio and tv drama about a ranch farmer who was also an airplane pilot. He and his family fought crime..? I guess? YouTube has episodes on archive. Sky King TV (1952) colorized s01e01 "Operation Urgent" youtu.be/36YXdagfY5w?...

I do, but they were reruns with the Real McCoys following it. THis was the early 1960s.

You're the first person besides me to know who Sky King was. I loved the Real McCoys too..
