The Golden Age of Television is the period in the United States between the late 1940s and 1960s, a time when many hour long anthology drama series received critical acclaim, sit coms and variety shows. As a new medium, television introduced many innovative programming concepts, and prime time television drama showcased both original and classic productions, including the first telecasts of Walt Disney's programs, as well as the first telecasts of Mary Martin in Peter Pan, MGM's classic The Wizard of Oz and Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Critics and viewers looked forward to new teleplays by Paddy Chayefsky, Horton Foote,Tad Mosel, Yes, people commonly refer to the 1950s and 1960s as TV's golden age, which are the decades when Americans embraced television and the networks responded with a rapid expansion of programming.
