Magnavox Theatre is an American television anthology of comedies and dramas that aired seven hour-long episodes on CBS in 1950, alternating weekly with Ford Theatre.
Episode six (The Three Musketeers), according to CBS, was the first hour-long film made in Hollywood specifically for television.
[2] Like its alternate-week counterpart, Magnavox Theatre offered the promise of adaptations of classic literature, novels, and short stories in addition to original dramas.
Among its guest stars were Kim Stanley, Robert Clarke, Leslie Nielsen, Marjorie Lord, Dane Clark, Cecil Kellaway, and Edward Everett Horton.
[citation needed] A review in The New York Times cited much negative and little positive about the program's second episode, "In the Fog".
