What happens

The Barbara Stanwyck Show is an American anthology drama television series that aired on NBC from September 19, 1960, to September 11, 1961. Barbara Stanwyck served as hostess, and starred in all but four of the half-hour productions. The four in which she did not star were actually pilot episodes of potential series programs which never materialized. Stanwyck won the Emmy Award in 1961 for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Series. Three of the episodes in which Stanwyck starred were attempts to spin off her own dramatic series as "Josephine Little", an American woman running an import-export shop in Hong Kong. The Barbara Stanwyck Show was produced at Desilu Studios and used several different directors, including Robert Florey, Jacques Tourneur, Stuart Rosenberg. The anthology 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. The American Gas Association sponsored the program on alternate weeks. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
