+What follows is an information dump about a specific Old Time Radio show. Your job is to summarize the information into a concise synopsis about the show that could be shown on a website along with a list of playable episodes from that show. Your synopsis should include, when available, when and where the show aired; its premise, theme, and tone; the people who were involved in its production; and any details or trivia about the show that people might find interesting. Here is the information about the show:
+
+
+- 2000 Plus [2000-plus]
+
+2000 Plus, also known as Two Thousand Plus and 2000+, was an American old-time radio series that aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System from March 15, 1950, to January 2, 1952. As the first adult science fiction series on radio, it predated the popular Dimension X series by a month. Created by Sherman H. Dryer and Robert Weenolsen, 2000 Plus was an anthology program that featured all-new material rather than adapting published stories.
+
+The show explored exciting tales of future technology, with a focus on space exploration and alien invasions. At the same time, it often reflected contemporary anxieties about the dangers of technology. The series featured a talented cast, including Lon Clark, Joseph Julian, Bryna Raeburn, Bill Keene, and Amzie Strickland, with music composed by Elliott Jacoby and conducted by Emerson Buckley. Ken Marvin served as the announcer, and Adrian Penner handled the sound effects.
+
+Some notable episodes include "The Brooklyn Brain," "The Flying Saucers," "The Robot Killer," "A Veteran Comes Home," and "Men from Mars." In total, 32 episodes are known, with only up to 15 surviving today. The series was praised for its charm and intense music and acting, reflecting the post-WWII atomic and Cold War eras.
+
+- 21st Precinct [21st-precinct]
+
+21st Precinct, also known as Twenty-First Precinct and Twenty First Precinct, was a police drama radio show that aired on CBS from July 7, 1953, to July 26, 1956. The show was initially a summer replacement for My Friend Irma and was produced in cooperation with the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association of the City of New York. The series presented true criminal stories from a policeman's perspective, even though the 21st Precinct did not exist during the show's run.
+
+The fictional precinct, however, was closely based on the Upper East Side's 23rd Precinct in Manhattan. Stanley Niss served as the producer, writer, and director, with Everett Sloane, James Gregory, and Les Damon playing the role of Captain Frank Kennelly. Other cast members included Ken Lynch as Lt. Matt King, Harold Stone as Sgt. Waters, and Santos Ortega as Lt. Gorman.
+
+The show's opening and closing focused on the responsibility of the 21st Precinct officers in providing security for the people living and working within their jurisdiction. The series gained popularity after the success of Dragnet, as audiences were eager to learn about true-to-life police stories. While the events depicted in 21st Precinct were less gritty than in Dragnet, the show's stories highlighted the noble actions of everyday cops facing everyday challenges, making the world a safer place for their communities.
+
+- 33 Half Moon Street [33-half-moon-street]
+
+33 Half Moon Street is a captivating South African radio show from the post-Golden Age that follows the thrilling cases of detective agency Assignments Unlimited, based at 33 Half Moon Street. The agency is led by Chief Investigator Aubrey Mason, played by the talented Michael Todd, and specializes in solving uncommon cases while guaranteeing success every time. The show has a tone reminiscent of the classic “Address Unknown”, trading in missing persons cases for unique and challenging investigations.
+
+The show initially aired in 1965-66 and featured engaging writing by Adrian Steed and Douglas Laws, who were both well-known figures in the South African radio scene. Despite being from South Africa, the show's accents are minimal, making it easy for international listeners to enjoy. With its compelling plots, high production values, and excellent audio quality, 33 Half Moon Street offers an entertaining experience for fans of detective stories and who-dun-its.
+
+Notable episodes include "Parson's Pride," "A Bag of Coal for Mr. Lazenby," and "Green for Danger." Throughout its run, the show developed a loyal fan base, following the determined Aubrey Mason as he tackles various challenging assignments with determination and skill. Immerse yourself in the gripping world of 33 Half Moon Street, where no case is too uncommon, and success is always guaranteed.
+
+- A Case for Dr. Morelle [a-case-for-dr-morelle]
+
+A Case for Dr. Morelle was a captivating 13-episode British Old Time Radio show that aired on the BBC Light Programme from April 23 to July 16, 1957. Created by Ernest Dudley during World War II, the show revolved around the acerbic and eccentric criminal psychologist Dr. Morelle, played by Cecil Parker, and his devoted secretary Miss Frayle, portrayed by Sheila Sim.
