10/10
The heyday of the anthology series !

Warning: Spoilers
My family had a long history of Sunday 9:00 pm (Chicago central time) TV viewing. The DpSotW was one of our faves, This was the era of corporate shows. Armstrong Circle Theater, the United States Steel Hour, the Bell Telephone Hour, Kraft Suspense Theater, Kraft Music Hall (to shake things up a bit). DuPont gave us a mix. Dramas, documentaries, semi-variety. I remember Jeremy Rabbit, as well as a history of the US auto industry hosted by Groucho Marx, an overview of toys hosted by Carol Burnett. A drama starring Lee Marvin, The Richest Man in Bogota based on a story by J. G. Ballard ? A presentation of Ken Murray's historic Hollywood home moves, that had appeared on Broadway. Such was the magic of broadcasting, when the 'major networks' had to provide a variety of infotainment. It was GREAT !
