 Rating: - Double WOWWow!! The 260 black and white half-hour episodes of the anthology series "Suspense" were originally broadcast from 1949-54 on CBS. Baby Boomers may confuse the original with the 23 episodes from the networks 1964 attempt to revive the series, which was hosted by Sebastian Cabot and was rather mild in comparison with the original. The concept (suspense and tension) and the title actually date back to radio days. The 1942 radio program was very popular and ran for 20 years. Read More: Rating: - Absolutely fascinating!I've long counted myself a fan of old-time radio dramas, and the Suspense radio program (1942-1962) has always been my favorite. For most of its run, the program was broadcast from Hollywood and borrowed top Hollywood actors each week to star in gripping 30-minute (and for a time 60-minute) dramas. In addition to the generally excellent writing and production values, part of the appeal of the radio program has always been hearing stars as diverse as Ronald Reagan, Fibber McGee and Molly, Frank Sinatra, ... Read More: Rating:  - Wonderful!Infinity Entertainment, in association with CBS, has done a great job in bringing these rare shows to DVD. Only 90 episodes have survived from this 6-season show, running from 1949 thru 1954. Infinity is bringing us all 90 shows over 3 box sets. Each set contains 4 DVDs. You have to get past the image quality issues, as these shows only survive as kinescopes--which are film recordings taken directly from a live video monitor. They exist in no other form and we're damned lucky to be able ... Read More: Rating: - Definitely Worth Preserving: SuspenseThe stories in this series are surprisingly good. Unlike many early TV thrillers, these actually generate a good amount of suspense. So they are worth seeing for that reason. Another reason to watch them is the casts. It can be great fun spotting faces that will become well-known in later years: Lee Marvin, Eva Marie Saint, Barry Nelson, Anne Francis, Leslie Neilson and many others who were literally unknown in 1949-51. On the other hand, at least one episode features the legendary acting teacher Stella ... Read More: Rating:  - SuspenseThis is tv in its beginning. I had forgotten mic shadows, line mistakes, and the like. I am enjoying the disc just for the people appearing in the shows. Many of them at the beginning of their careers. The picture quality isn't the best but passable watching. I reccomend the disc for anyone living thru the begining of television. Roger |
