Television Playhouse is a half-hour American anthology series that was broadcast live on NBC.
The series aired from December 4, 1947 to April 11, 1948, generally appearing every third Sunday during its run.
The program was in cooperation with the National Theater and Academy, a federally sponsored theater group, and featured live performances of plays, some of which were by well-known authors.
Although short-lived, the "live play" format later became very popular during the early 1950s.
