Mr. Citizen is a 30-minute American anthology series of dramas based on actual acts of heroism performed by average people.
[1] Each episode included a prominent American's presentation of the Mister Citizen Award to the person featured.
When that segment concluded, a camera was turned to the studio audience, revealing the person who had performed the heroic action.
[10] Gene Plotnik, writing in the trade publication Billboard, noted that Mr. Citizen contained elements "that have already proved successful in other programs", such as The Big Story and This Is Your Life.
[3] He cited some flaws in the premiere episode but suggested that the series "will probably do a pretty good selling job" for its sponsor.
