Ford Television Theatre

Ford Theatre, known as Ford Television Theatre for the TV version, was a radio and television anthology series broadcast in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s. At various times the television series appeared on all three major television networks, while the radio version was broadcast on two separate networks and on two separate coasts. Ford Theatre was named for its sponsor, the Ford Motor Company, which had an earlier success with its concert music series, The Ford Sunday Evening Hour (1934–42).

The first Ford Theatre on U.S. television appeared on October 17, 1948, near the dawn of regularly scheduled prime time network programming. This series used primarily Broadway actors.

A half-hour filmed Ford Theatre returned to the airwaves on NBC for the 1951-52 season on Thursday nights at 9:30pm Eastern. At this time production was moved from New York to Hollywood, and featured actors based there rather than on Broadway. Some of these programs were comedies instead of dramas. Performers appearing during this era included Frank Bank, Scott Brady, Claudette Colbert, Charles Coburn, Ed Hinton, Peter Lawford, Ida Lupino, Thomas Mitchell, Karen Sharpe, Ann Sheridan, Barry Sullivan and Beverly Washburn.
