The Best of Broadway
The Best of Broadway is a 60-minute live television anthology series that aired on CBS Television on Wednesdays at 10p.m. Eastern Standard Time from September 15, 1954, to May 4, 1955, for a total of nine episodes. Each show was broadcast live in color from New York City, was an adaptation of a famous Broadway play, and included commercials for Westinghouse featuring Betty Furness. Using a "giant new studio," plays were presented in front of a studio audience, which contributed a Broadway-like element.
This series ran every fourth week, with Pabst Blue Ribbon Bouts being aired the other three weeks. After this series, and Ford Star Jubilee, CBS largely refrained from color broadcasting until the mid-60's.Episodes
