From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windows is a live 30-minute American dramatic anthology television series that was broadcast from July 8, 1955, to August 26, 1955.[1] Eight episodes aired from New York City on CBS in 1955 as a summer replacement for Edward R. Murrow's Person to Person series. Notable guest stars included Geraldine Page, Jason Robards,[2] Melvyn Douglas, and Anthony Perkins.
Each episode of the show began by showing a window, after which the cameral moved through the window to begin the telling of the story, with each story "designed to show real people confronting real problems".[3]
Windows was created by Frank DeFelitta and Mort Abrahams and produced by Abrahams.[4] Its directors were Jack Garfein, Jose Quintero, John Stix, and Leonard Valenta.[1] Its writers included Shirley Peterson,[4] Ray Bradbury and Arnold Schulman.[citation needed] The show was broadcast from 10:30 to 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Fridays.[3] Amoco and Hamm Brewing Company sponsored the program, which originated from WCBS-TV.[5]
