The Barbara Stanwyck Show was a lavishly-produced anthology drama television series which ran on NBC in 1960 and 1961. Barbara Stanwyck served as hostess, and starred in all but four of the half-hour productions. The four she did not star in were actually pilot episodes of potential programs which never materialized. Stanwyck won the Emmy Award in 1961 for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Series.
Three of the shows in which Stanwyck starred were an attempt at spinning off a dramatic series of her own, in which she appeared as "Josephine Little", an American woman running an import-export shop in Hong Kong.
The series, produced at Desilu Studios, was directed by Stuart Rosenberg. The Barbara Stanwyck Show lasted one season. It aired at 10 p.m. Eastern on Mondays opposite Jackie Cooper's military sitcom Hennesey on CBS and the second half of Gardner McKay's Adventures in Paradise on ABC.
Expected DVD Release: E1 Entertainment, formerly known as Koch Vision, is working with The Archive of American Television to present the DVD release of The Barbara Stanwyck Show - Volume 1. The set is expected to contain episodes that have been restored and re-mastered. The release date for the series is 10/13/2009.
