Summary:

The hugely popular live American television plays of the 1950s have become the stuff of legend. Combining elements of theater, radio, and filmmaking, they were produced at a moment when TV technology was growing more mobile and art was being made accessible to a newly suburban postwar demographic. These astonishingly choreographed, brilliantly acted, and socially progressive "teleplays" constituted an artistic high for the medium, bringing Broadway-quality drama to all of America.

Marty: Renowned dramatist Paddy Chayefsky's poignant and touching character study of a lonely, middle-aged butcher looking for love helped usher in the naturalistic style of television drama in the 1950.

Patterns: Examines a power struggle between a corporate boss, a washed-up company man, and the young executive groomed to take his place.

No time for sergeants: In this riotous military comedy, a bumptious Air Force draftee manages to drive his sergeant and the jokers who share his barracks crazy.

A wind from the south: An Irish country innkeeper who finds new meaning in her life when she finally experiences her first love, with a troubled tourist.

Bang the drum slowly: A star pitcher of a professional baseball team who helps a terminally ill country bumpkin catcher live out one last season on the diamond.

Requiem for a heavyweight: A punch-drunk prizefighter is forced to face life outside the ring in Rod Serling's searing indictment of the professional boxing underworld.

The comedian: A volatile glimpse behind the showbiz curtain about a raging, tyrannical vaudeville comedian who now has his own TV, a ruthless egomaniac who demands instant obedience from his staff and steps on anyone on his way to the top, including his browbeaten brother, despairing wife, and washed-up scriptwriter.

Days of wine and roses: A young married couple falls into a downward spiral of alcoholism and self-destruction.
