Topic: Studio One (TV series)


  
 Studio One
Studio One was one of the most significant U.S. anthology drama series during the 1950s.
Studio One provides an emblematic continuity for the 1950s drama: it was the longest running drama anthology series, lasting ten years from 1948-58, from the "big freeze" through the "golden age" to the made-in-Hollywood 90-minute film format: in all over 500 plays were produced.
Still, unlike film, live studio time was real time, and the ineluctable rule of live drama was that the length of a performance was as long as it took to see it.

 Classic TV & Movie Hits - Studio One
When Studio One premiered on CBS radio in the spring of 1947, there was little immediate concern at the network over the possible incursion of television as a competing medium.
The premiere telecast of Studio One was an adaptation of the mystery play The Storm, starring stage and screen actress Margaret Sullavan, one of the few established stars who was willing to perform on teh new medium, especially considering the lowly pay (a maximum of $500 was budgeted for talent on early telecasts).
Studio One had gone on the air without a sponsor, but it gained one in Westinghouse Electric in early 1949.

Studio One was a prestigious one-hour live TV series during America's early television era.
He appeared in Studio One four times in different roles, of which the one on this disc is interesting because of its setting and biographical implications.
While the limitations and stresses of live TV drama were considerable - camera setups could be rough and ready, the staging cheap, while actors melted visibly under the harsh lighting then required - there were some gains.

 Highlander Season One TV Series DVD review
Personal confession – when, back in 1992, I first heard about a new syndicated TV series based on the "Highlander" films, my reaction was near-total disinterest.
Again, this initial impression reflected more a lack of imagination on my part that that of the series creators, because "Highlander the Series" turned out to have a ton on its mind and, as it wound up running for six seasons, plenty of opportunity to explore all sorts of permutations in moral conundrums.
"Eyewitness" fits the premise of the series far better, as Tessa witnesses a murder and feels compelled to investigate, even before it turns out that the crime involves an Immortal who had lost interest in his mortal lover as she aged.
