The Kaiser Aluminum Hour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kaiser Aluminum Hour was a dramatic anthology television series which was broadcast in prime time in the United States during the 1956-57 season by NBC.
The Kaiser Aluminum Hour was shown on Thursday nights at 9:30 PM Eastern time in rotation with the longer-running Armstrong Circle Theatre, with the first broadcast airing on July 3, 1956 and the final one on June 18, 1957. As can be surmised from the title, the program was sponsored by the Kaiser Aluminum Company. Unlike low-budget anthology series such as Fireside Theater, The Kaiser Aluminum Hour featured many well-known Hollywood actors of the era, including Paul Newman (who appeared in the first telecast), Ralph Bellamy, MacDonald Carey, Hume Cronyn, Robert Culp, Kim Hunter, Forrest Tucker, Jack Warden and Natalie Wood, among many others.
