Format and personnel
The Dick Haymes Show began under the title Everything for the Boys — a revision of a program that was a dramatic anthology series. Dick Haymes and Helen Forrest replaced Ronald Colman; music and comedy replaced plays. As time went on, the new format took on the name of the show's male star.: 237-238 In 1943, Haymes and Forrest had worked together on Here's to Romance on CBS radio. They left that program when the opportunity to work on this show became available.
In 1946, Forrest was replaced by Martha Tilton and Lina Romay. In 1947, Cliff Arquette joined the show in the role of "Mrs. Wilson, owner of a flower stand, who never knew the time of day."
Additional music was provided by the vocal group Six Hits and a Miss; Gordon Jenkins led the orchestra. Sam Pierce was the producer.
A review of the program's October 23, 1947, episode in the trade publication Billboard described a "good, if routine, offering, providing pleasant musical moments ..."
