I'd love to see the Fireside Theater episodes; a rare example of an early-'50s drama anthology actually shot on film. How curious that filmed '50s TV anthologies like Inner Sanctum and Fireside Theater are elusive today while kinescopes of taped shows abound.

Oct 2 12 2:21 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	oh what an nostalgic list, I recall Matinee Theater,rather vague, but do remember seeing 'The Canterville Ghost' and the FOTHOU' in glorious b/w, great afternoon entertainment, I remember the host had dark hair, I dont think it was actor Ron Randell but someone like him. Btw, this list gets credited to the other Jay, not the She/Creature Jay...lol

FORBIDDEN AREA (also by Serling and the debut episode of PH90) is a cold war thriller- Soviet spies sabotage American long-range bombers as a prelude to a Soviet first strike. If that's acceptable for the list, then surely the original BROTHERHOOD OF THE BELL (1958) from STUDIO ONE should be added.

Oct 5 12 11:14 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I would think Brotherhood of the Bell should count. Is someone going to update this list?

Oct 13 12 10:39 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I recall G.E. Theater hosted by Ronald Reagan and an episode w/ Ida Lupino, where her husband was trying to drive her in insane, ala Gaslight? remember 'Brotherhood of the Bell."
