''Encounter'' is a five-week anthology television series aired from Toronto, Canada, and carried by both CBC Television and ABC from October 5 to November 2, 1958.〔Alex McNeil, ''Total Television'', (New York: Penguin Publishers, 1996), p. 258〕 In Canada the series was known as General Motors Presents.〔TV Guide: Guide to TV. Barnes and Noble. 2004. p. 196. ISBN 978-0-7607-5634-8〕 The one-hour dramas were either romance, adventure, or mystery stories. Patrick Macnee, Barry Morse and William Shatner were among those who appeared on ''Encounter.''.〔Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh, ''The Completre Directory to Prime Time TV Shows, 1946-Present'', p. 270.〕 ABC had planned to air 39 episodes of the series, but aired only 5. In the United States, ''Encounter'' followed the western series ''Colt .45''. The program faced competition on CBS from ''The Alfred Hitchcock Show'' and ''The $64,000 Question.'' NBC at the time aired part of ''The Dinah Shore Chevy Show''.〔''Total Television'', appendix〕 It is not known what program succeeded ''Encounter'' in the 9:30 Eastern time slot beginning on Sunday, November 9, 1958. The following season ''The Alaskans'', an adventure program set in Alaska and starring Roger Moore, Dorothy Provine, and Jeff York, aired on ABC in that time period.〔''Total Television'', appendix〕 ''Encounter'' is not the shortest-running series on an American television network. In the fall of 1966, ''The Tammy Grimes Show'', a situation comedy starring Tammy Grimes, ran only four episodes on ABC before it was cancelled.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''The Tammy Grimes Show'' )〕''100 Grand'', an ABC quiz show, lasted for only three episodes after its debut in the fall of 1963 on the Sunday evening schedule. A program called ''Turn-On'', promoted as a sophisticated answer to NBC's ''Laugh In'', was cancelled on the air during its first and only episode. ==External links== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Encounter (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
