Candy Matson, YUkon 2-8209, is a captivating Old Time Radio show that aired from March 1949 to May 1951 on NBC West Coast. Created by Monty Masters, the show featured his wife Natalie Parks in the title role of a smart, tough, and fearless female private investigator, Candy Matson. Set in San Francisco, the show followed Candy as she solved cases in the Bay Area, often working with her police detective love interest, Lt. Ray Mallard, played by Henry Leff, and her flamboyant best friend and assistant, Rembrandt Watson, voiced by Jack Thomas.

The show's opening featured a ringing telephone, with Candy answering, "Candy Matson, YU 2-8209" before the theme song "Candy" played. The series was praised for its strong female lead and use of actual San Francisco locations in its storylines. Despite its popularity, the show never gained a national audience or a permanent sponsor, remaining a West Coast favorite. Candy Matson concluded with a twist ending as Ray proposed to Candy, leading to their marriage and Candy's retirement from detective work.
