Studio One Has A New Home at TVS Drama.Com

The Iconic Golden Age of Television series Studio one is back on TV, now at its new home at TVS Drama.Com. TVS Drama.Com is one of 48 IPTV channels on TV4U.Com, and is available to watch on demand for free as its advertising supported.

The great Studio One shows are being regularly added to the channel, so you can relive those great moments in dramatic television from the early days of the medium.

Studio One rand for the first ten years of commercial TV in the USA, from 1948 to 1957. 433 episodes, almost all airing live. Studio One was the home to the very best actors of its time, from youngsters like Paul Newman, William Holden, James Dean, Lorne Greene and William Shatner to veterans like Everett Sloan, Hume Cronyn, Mildred Natwick, and Leo G Carroll.
It was a place where a comedian like Jackie Gleason could take a dramatic turn, a place where Eva Marie Saint could be discovered. A place where Llod Bridges could get his career restarted. A place where Jane Wyatt could transition from movie star to TV star.

Enjoy Studio One. Its as much about culture as it is about TV.

Golden Age of Television Lives on via TVS Drama.Com

TVS Drama.Com is the home to six decades of dramatic television, from soap operas to prime time dramas, from syndicated half hours to tghe earliest attempts at 'reality' TV. Perhaps the most honored of the dramatic shows is what has come to be known as the 'Golden Age of Television'. The technical limitations on early TV - the hot lights, the bulky cameras - made the stationary venues for stage plays and vaudeville the norm of early TV. Since the movie industry shunned the TV business in its first decade, it became a proving ground for those coming up in the business aspiring to be actors, actresses, directors, and producers. For one thing TV was insatiable in its need for programming. For another, it's live treatment gave rise to a generation of talented stars both in front of and behind the camera. Many of these shows are right here, right bow on TVS Drama. More are being added every week. What a chance to go back and visit a simpler time when the soon to be legends were learning their craft and amassing a following though this miracle known as television.
