1958 - After nearly three years on NBC-TV, Matinee Theatre was seen for the final time. And a good thing, too. Critics called the show one of the most successful failures in theatrical history.

Wasn't a good thing for me. Apparently too young to pay attention to critics, I loved Matinee Theatre. It came on at 3, right after I'd get home from school. One Christmas it did an hour-long Little Women . Granted some parts were left out, but I acknowledged the necessity of time constraints.
