Other Programs With The Same Name
The Campbell Playhouse is also the title of a 1952 television series that aired on NBC. The collection of 30-minute dramas aired Fridays at 9:30 p.m. June through August as a summer replacement series for The Aldrich Family. Episodes included "The Cavorting Statue" starring Cesar Romero and Ann Rutherford; "Return to Vienna" starring Ruth Warrick and Cameron Mitchell; and "This Little Pig Cried" starring Frances Rafferty and Robert Rockwell. In July 1953 the series returned as a permanent replacement for The Aldrich Family, with a new format — hour-long dramas produced live in New York — and a new title, Campbell Soundstage. James Dean, Lillian Gish, Brian Keith, Jack Lemmon, Roddy McDowall, E. G. Marshall, Walter Matthau and Betsy Palmer were among those starring in the series of O. Henry-style stories with surprise endings. In June 1954 the title of the series was changed to Campbell Summer Soundstage, and filmed presentations (many previously aired on Ford Theatre) were featured until the show left the air in September 1954.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
