Vienna

A 1958 American anthology television series broadcast on NBC, composed entirely of unsold television pilots. Created as a summer replacement program, the series repackaged unaired pilots originally produced for proposed television shows, presenting them as standalone dramatic episodes. Hosted by Bill Goodwin, the series served as filler programming following the cancellation of the quiz show Dotto and ran for eight consecutive weeks. Notable episodes included Orson Welles’s The Fountain of Youth, which won a Peabody Award and became one of the most celebrated television productions of the era.

Long-running anthology program sponsored by Hallmark Cards. Beginning in 1951 and continuing into 2019, the series received 80 Emmy Awards, 24 Christopher Awards, 11 Peabody Awards, 9 Golden Globes, and 4 Humanitas Prizes. Early seasons were a weekly live drama, eventually transitioning to videotaped and then filmed productions broadcast as occasional specials.
