Dramatic Series - The first
dramatic television series was THE QUEEN'S MESSENGER seen in a total of only
four homes in the New York Area on September 11, 1928. The sound for the
series was carried by radio station WGY and the picture was broadcast from
the experimental station. Two cameras were used on the production: one for
faces and one for the props.
The first regularly scheduled dramatic anthology was the
KRAFT TELEVISION THEATRE/NBC/1947-58. It starred John Baragrey in the
"Double Door." The first EMMY for the best dramatic series was presented to
the ABC Network for its PULITZER PRIZE PLAYHOUSE in 1950. The western
adventure BONANZA/NBC/1959-73 was the first dramatic series to be broadcast
in color.
