It's amazing about what shows, good ones, didn't make the cut.<br /><br />Rich, for the most part the era of the anthology shows which Young, Stanwyck and Allyson launched were coming to a close. By the early 1960s TV had settled comfortably into a lot of sitcoms. I think Stanwyck's next big break wasn't until the mid-60s with BIG VALLEY, a western. That was unique, to have a woman head the cast of a western -- but I think that was in deference to her status in Hollywood. Linda Evans, who played her daughter, pretty much spent all those four or five seasons being the damsel in distress and looking pretty. I suppose she couldn't help looking pretty, but I wonder if she wanted to do more than just be saved by the boys. Ann would.<br /><br />It's interesting to muse if Ann Blyth would have been more tempted by an anthology show, even if the commitment required to do an hour-long show still would have taken a big chunk of her life. In any case, four months after this episode aired, she gave birth to her last child, so she clearly had another commitments. Jacqueline T.

Yeah, there were a lot of housewives and such, but you also had actresses like Loretta Young and Barbara Stanwyck and June Allyson headlining their own programs.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-77689461294578218042014-04-10T12:35:11.338-04:002014-04-10T12:35:11.338-04:00There's something endearing about the myriad o...There's something endearing about the myriad of TV dramas that didn't make the cut. Rather like the B movies with time and budget constraints where a lot of creativity is brought together in a rush to put something decent out there. I always applaud the effort and sometimes the finished product.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
