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:

    “There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
